The Order of the Raven

The Order of the Raven is a Holy Order that believes in the Holy Three. It's epicentre is the Spirit Tree to be found in the city Jormungandrill (/lands spawn Jormungandrill will take you to the Spirit Tree). All are welcome at the Tree even non-believers are able to visit for the Spirit Tree is what binds Hell (nether), Earth and The Spirit Realm together. The Order is founded and lead by the head priest Thibo55. This faith recognises the other faiths for Argus knows all Gods in the world and freedom of religion is something he values in the world.

The Gods
These Gods together form the Holy Three who defend the Realms from the force that wishes to destroy them all.
 * 1) Argus, The Raven Spirit  Argus is the All-Knowing deity that looks at the world through the eyes of every Raven. He has seen the past, present and future and occasionally shares visions with mortals. He used to be a great king long before Rathnir existed. Sadly enough he was cursed by a foul magick to change him into a Raven. His court sorcerer had tried everything to bring him back to his human form. One day he thought he found the solution by extracting Argus' spirit and placing it back in a human body. The process was hard and the wizard lost his concentration for a second causing Argus' spirit to be lost in the Spirit realm. There he spent what looked like an eternity for him but only seconds for mankind. He learned the secrets of life itself and managed to get in the head of Ravens to see the world and communicate. He had been a watcher of the world ever since. Now he has brought a gift to a young dwarf to spread his words and unite the world against the looming evil.
 * 2) Thraín, The Warrior of the Storm  Thraín was a normal human from an ordinary family. Yet he was born as a Dwarfling so he stayed smaller than his parents and his friends. Since he was a young boy he wanted to be a great warrior but because of his size every general would just laugh at his attempts to join the army. So he trained on himself with the axe he was granted to cut wood. One day while he was out training he noticed a dark shadow creeping in on his village. He went to warn the others but they did not take him seriously until it was to late. The heavens turned pitch black and thunder and lightning struck the village with no mercy. A dark being stepped into the epicentre of the storm and Thraín, brave as he was followed it into the eye of the storm. Thraín managed to hit the creature's shoulder and a deep purple substance flowed out of the wound. The creature screamed of rage and lightning crackled towards Thraín. In screams of agony Thraín managed to carry on closing in on the creature and with one swing of his axe he split the creature in half. He dropped to the ground his body soaked with the purple substance and burned by the lightning. The storm seemed to flow back into the epicentre and the last bits of lightning struck Thraín's body making him pass out. When he woke up he found himself in The hall of champions in the Spirit Realm. He clanged his axe in his hands and stood up on his feet. The pain from seconds ago seemed to be gone. The great Argus himself told him he now became Warrior of the Storm by killing the former warrior who's heart got corrupted and would need to learn to develop his powers in the Spirit Realm before returning home. Years of lessons and training passed and Thraín learned to control the storm that settled inside his heart. His last lesson had came and Argus taught him to open up a gate to travel between Hell, Earth and the Spirit Realm. Argus took Thraín's axe and removed the handle to replace it with wood of the Spirit Tree. Now he could make a cut to travel between the realms. Argus gave him one final advice to never let his heart be corrupted by greed or power for that would unleash the curse of the storm on him like it did on the former warrior. Thraín now roams between the realms aiding whoever needs his help. His bravery and kindness are legendary and known to all.
 * 3) Loki, The Trickster  Loki is the Daughter of the Norse God Loki. She had been born during the Ragnarok Event and had inhabited all her father's tricks as well as her mother's magick. Her ways are chaotic to mankind and look foul and mischievous. She murders with poison, stabs backs and creates illusions. She is the one who whispers evil thoughts of greed and power into your ear. She is the Godess who  charms you to go after your deepest and darkest desires. Yet all she does is but a move in her big scheme. No one knows what she is planning or why she joined Argus and Thraín to protect the Realms from the greater evil. She is beautiful with her light green eyes and ravenblack hair. Her lips are devilish red and she always seems to be smirking. Just like her father she likes to dress in gold and dark green colours but also likes deep purple. She is a mystery and no one knows where she resides or where she will pop-up next.

The Spirit Tree
The Spirit Tree is a tree which grew from a sapling delivered to Thibo55 by a Raven from Argus. The Tree allows the members of the faith to pray and lay contacts with the gods. The Tree binds the Realms together. The grounds around the Spirit Tree are holy and no blood shall be spilled on these grounds. The Tree exists of three layers each representing a realm and a God.


 * The roots stand for Hell which is the Realm Loki likes most. The roots are made of a redish wood and in the deepest chambers eternal fire burns and a portal to the Realm of Hell formed there.
 * The main Tree represents Earth and is Thraín's favorite. It looks like a normal tree but is way larger than any tree ever seen in the world. In the upper chamber of the tree is a strange circle which is believed to give access to the true form of Spirit Tree in the Spirit Realm.
 * The last part is the true form of the Spirit Tree. After activating the circle in the upper chamber of the tree one is sucked up in a ray of colours and will arrive in the Spirit Tree in the Spirit Realm. The tree is made from blue wood and carries strange fruits that glow a dim light. This tree holds the Gate to the Hall of the Fallen where all warriors who died in battle go. A shrine for The Holy Three stands on the very top of this tree. Argus always resides around the Spirit Tree.
