Cult of Dolor

Creation
Sercan "Valiant" Samadi is the founder of the Cult of Dolor. During his travels north, he had dreams and visions from Dolor herself. She told him about everything there is to know about herself.

Pre-story
Sercan when dreaming saw a big tree made out of a white trunk, and red leaves. And the goddess of Dolor sitting under it. She was so distant but yet so close. She told him stories about how all the Gods of her old Religion died, in a big war over the tree. Only she was able to survive, and she had to continuethe faith herself. When she found the Solnostani, a group of mostly atheist nomads, she saw her chance to go in and expand herself.

She told about how Isharb (God of Sun), gave her the power of the Sun before he died, to lead all people, She told him about how the tree is white and red because she is the goddess of death, and the tree is barely alive. It only lives on the souls of the dead. All dead people's souls go to this tree, which is why people that follow the Cult of Dolor consider the After Life very important.

In Sercan's dreams she told him he needed to find a Land, so she could plant the tree on rathnir, for in its old world it was dieing. It needs a new home and land just like the Solnostani. She told him that she was considered the evil deity in the original religion. But now that she is the only one, she tries to do her best in taking care of all the People and Lands of Rathnir.

Dolor
Dolor is the Goddess of Death, with the powers of the Sun from Isharb. She collects the souls of the dead and brings them to the Tree (of what used to be known as life) of Death.

Her appearance is unkown, but according to her only prophet, she had very pale skin, and she had a Scythe. This is why the Scythe became a very important weapon for the followers of Dolor. The followers of Dolor also performed sacrifices with Scythes.

Following the Religion
The followers of Dolor go on raids every now and then to show their belief in Dolor.
