Milo paganism

Milo paganism is a religion that was widely practiced in lands that now make up Othmyrr, along with surrounding areas. It primarily worshipped the forest, and the beings of the Forest, which was their term for gods. Currently it is a minority religion in Othmyrr, with some practitioners elsewhere.

The Milo Forest:
The Milo Forest is a supernatural plane of existence (or realm) one goes to while dreaming, or after taking hallucinogenic drugs. Within it exists many entities of extreme power, who can sometimes effect the mortal world. They range from hags, to gods, to lost villagers, who wandered too far from their homes at night. The plane is an infinite landscape of rolling hills, with scattered villages of all sorts of creatures dotting the landscape. As the name suggests the land is filled with trees of all sorts.

Mhyose (MᚦΔE), The lord of the trees:
Standing at a towering 10 feet tall, this creature has the head of a Deer, with the body of the man. His antlers are indestructible, and have brought destruction to many a daring enemy, immortal or mortal. He rules the Milo Forest with an Iron fist, from his manor in the center of the infinite plane.

Daie (Daλ), The goddess of fertility:
As MᚦΔE is a man of strength, his wife, Daλ is the opposite. She settles disputes with her words, not her actions. Appearing as a 8 foot tall Elven woman, she commands the 4 seasons, her children, to do her bidding, growing the land in the summer and spring, as her more rebellious children, winter and fall, attempt to destroy the living world through their use of harsh the harsh cold.

Voath (Φth ), The corrupting voices:
In the Forest, each tree may speak, and each speaks with the voice of Φth, as he mutters to the creatures of Milo, and those that dream themselves there. He is a destroyer, a shadow in the night, a corruptor. The few who have seen the true form of Φth say he is a dark corruption that seeps into the land, and kills without mercy. He may corrupt anything, and some say if your house creaks the wrong way, Φth is speaking. Those houses are often burned after their occupants are found dead. Φth is one of the few beings of the forest who can directly exist in the mortal realm, our realm, for any amount of time.

Lesser beings
many lesser beings haunt the forest, from dragons to trolls, and tricksters and Demons (Dᛏψn). Some say Elves originally came from the forest, but others doubt that. In no particular order:


 * Dragons, With huge scaled wings, and fire breathing capabilities. As seen in the real world too, Dragons were believed to be holy signs, fortelling certain things to those who see them.
 * Demons (Dᛏψn), Monsters of many shapes and sizes, demons would love to trick you out of your skin, or just outright kill you. Not all are evil, most may just be insane, but all are powerful, and all are dangerous. They are believed to be former Oathkeepers, but these one broke their oaths.
 * witches or hags, immortal cursed beings with a hatred for mortal life, witches and hags trick and try to kill anything that wanders into their territory.
 * Trolls, Large humanoids with a taste for blood, trolls are stupid, but dangerous killers.
 * Oathkeepers, Bound to a god, these powerful entities roam the Forest, searching for mortal enemies, and following orders.
 * Ryazei (Rᛝzθ), Towering plant eaters shaped much like giant hermit crabs, complete with boulders instead of shells, slowly eat their way through the ever growing forest.
