Krellr Gǫfugr

Overview
Krellr Gǫfugr (ᚴᚱᛖᛚᛚᚱ ᚷᛟᚠᚢᚷᚱ) is polytheistic native religion which originated in the city of Baronov and has spread throughout Plagos. Followers of this religion worship the environmental spirits also known as the Spirits of the Krellr, that surround them, the primary spirits are Skógr, the spirit of bamboo, Aldrnari, the spirit of fire and lǫgr, the spirit of water. With a lot more secondary spirits as a part of their spiritual family. Many followers built Tjald's (ᛏᛃᚨᛚᛞ) or shrines to please and worship the spirit of their choice and there were Prestr's (ᛈᚱᛖᛋᛏᚱ) or priests to hold rituals and events to talk to the spirits and carry out their word.

History
In an ancient time long ago, the islands of Baronov were ruled by different Jarls and their Jarldoms. The Jarls believed in the Spirits that they would protect them against any threat and give them victory in their conquests and raids. However all the Jarls each believed that one of the spirits were more superior then the other which is what caused feuds with much bloodshed and wars. However one Jarl from the Jarldom of Bar who lived on the island of current day Baronov named Harald Karlson, with the help of Skógr, he conquered the rest of the jarldoms in the region bringing peace and becoming the greatest Jarl of the region.

Harald would voyage around his Jarldom, making outposts and shrines spreading the faith while also researching more about the spirits. However Harald discovered something interesting, a prophecy that would lead to the end of the spirits and the world as Harald knew it, he would research more into it and how to avoid the destruction of his homeland. Máni would however learn of this and would use her forbidden magic to trick Harald that the spirits were against him and would curse and kill his entire bloodline if he continued to try and find a way to prevent Enda Guðanna. Harald would defy this and continue despite going against the unholy horrors Máni would throw upon him. Harald would soon find a spell or ritual that would trap any god and bind them to an object, imprisoning them until they are released. Máni would soon then send a Herrar hinna dauðu to go and slay the legendary Harald in a battle. With the magical weapons Máni gave the Herrar hinna dauðu, Harald would soon be killed. Leaving his grandson.

Karl Karlson in charge of the massive empire his grandfather would leave behind. Karl Karlson would soon also discover of the prophecy and soon find Harald's old research, with now holding the knowledge on how to trap and bind a spirit, Máni would use her magic and deceive Karl Karlson that Skógr, Aldrnari and lǫgr were to cause the death and destruction of the mortal realm as said in Enda Guðanna, and so he quickly moved and used forbidden magic and trapped the spirits in objects so they could never have the power to influence the mortal world ever again. Karl Karlson would however be shunned for this decision and live to regret it later.

Without the protection of the primary spirits, The Jarldom Karl Karlson had would collapse and he would die, leaving the Jarldom to the lands of Avalon and others but soon enough a traveler named Cakehacks would settle on the old Jarldom Capital making the Kingdom of Baronov and the religion would fade away but then the Battle of the Faiths happened. A series of events that happened within the Kingdom of Seahaven where Skógr, Aldrnari and lǫgr are found by tomb raiders who powered the spirits by placing them at the fallen Igskorani Temple however now the religious state of the kingdom would fall into ruin.

This would lead other religions send their faithful followers to taking advantage of the situation and to bring their religion into the isles. However the followers of the spirits went to find Harald's old research to release their spirts. They would go through ruins filled traps and lost outposts of the destroyed Jarldom of Bar to find a pieces of Harald's research to piece together and perform the ritual to release them. Many contenders tried to stop them, Such as a new faith called Valnorsicism, from the land North Norcician came from. However they and others were repelled as the spirits were released from their prison and protected the faith of the Baronovians once again.

The spirits soon used their power to reconstruct the old Igskorani Temple, refurbishing it back to it's former glory during the days of the Jarldom. However one day the Lunari Empire came and occupied the city of Baronov after it being involved in scheme. With this Lunari occupation under the governorship of Logui. Many of the faithful Baronovians were killed and their holy sites ransacked and destroyed, with the very few Baronovians left, North Norcician would call and grand exodus. The Baronovians would sail far away from their old homeland and with the guidence of the spirits, landed in the lands of Bardonia.

In Bardonia, the Bardonian government gave the Baronovians the old lands of Prata. The Baronovians began to work and renamed the city to New Baronov, a refuge for all groups that faced near extinction in Plagos by either Plagatea or Lunaris. Soon they would plan to build new temples and shrines to their spirits in the new town and so the first shrine made was in honor of þrumja, the spirit of thunder. However the fate of the Baronovians would change once again when Bardonia was invaded by the Parahands. The Battle of Dorasterrock sealed the fate of the Sixth Empire of Bardonia and Bardonia later join Greator Plagos, a bit of irony as the Baronovians had come so far from Lunaris and Plagatea, only for Plagos to come to them.

The faithful hoped that the spirits will save them from this constant running and find a place they can be free from their oppressors, but now realizing the situation, it was decided to befriend their oppressors then go against them. Soon enough with the blessing the spirits, the city of Baronov was now close to being returned back to the Baronovian people after talks between North and the Empress of Lunaris.

However when North returned to the city, he found the homeland of the Baronovians completely destroyed, what was once a town with life was now a town deserted of any.

One day, the Empress of Lunaris fell into a coma. Leaving Rosa Rune the temporary Empress of Lunaris. North already being friends with Rosa asked her for the return of the city back to his and the spirits hands. Rosa Rune accepted the offer and returned Baronov to the Baronovians, officially ending the Lunari Occupation at the city that had lasted for ages. What remained of the Baronovians came home from New Baronov which was renamed to Port Klipzchia in honor of Klipzch. The refurbishment of Igskorani was finished and a Skógr Festival was celebrated in celebration of the return of the holy city.

Beliefs
A Follower of the Spirits or also known as a Fylgismaður, follow the words and teachings of the Spirits of the Krellr, or more importantly the main three primary spirits. Skógr, Aldrnari and lǫgr which are represented in the mortal plane by the Spámaður's and Prestr's.

Skógr is the spirit of bamboo and king of the Spirits of the Krellr, he rules and manages the world with his family from the spiritual plane, it is the job of his followers to serve and praise the spirits as they provide them protection and everything they need to survive in such a hostile world. However the followers must also empower the spirits with ritual's and festivals with sacrifices so the spirits can protect the mortals from the undead armies that the moon spirit, Máni sends to terrorize them.

Story of Creation
The Start of Creation or known as Sköpunarsaga, is the genesis of the spirits and the spiritual and mortal planes. Written down by the Ancient Baronovians and shared among the Jarldom, the text survives to this day and it reads the following,

"At first, there was a void of darkness, in which Sólbjǫrg and Máni existed peacefully in order to maintain balance. Sólbjǫrg then created the sun and with it, it brought light to the void. Sólbjǫrg then followed this by gifting pieces of the sun to his lover, Máni. Máni then used the gifted pieces of the sun to create the moon, bringing night and day to the void.

It was then Sólbjǫrg and Máni decided to create the mortal and spiritual planes, using their powers, they set a barrier between the world's of the living and dead. It was here Sólbjǫrg's and Máni's first child was born out of the tears of the sun and moon were planted into the void, Skógr. Skógr's birth would mark the beginning of life in both worlds as soon enough, the mortal and spiritual planes would be filled with plants, more specifically bamboo.

After the birth of Skógr, Sólbjǫrg and Máni had their second child, Aldrani. Born of the raging fires of the sun and forged in the image of Máni. Aldrani brought fire and heat to the spiritual and mortal planes.

Soon enough, Sólbjǫrg and Máni had their third child, lǫgr. Born out of the tears of Máni. lǫgr brought the sea, the tides, the rain and all other forms of water to the spiritual and mortal plane's."

Hindrun Heimanna (The Barrier)
When Skógr was born, the Hindrun Heimanna was made also known as just simply "the barrier", separates the spiritual and mortal planes. As Skógr brought life to both in the form of plants, such as bamboo and animals and the dead was brought to the spiritual world. Although the spirits may still manage the elements in the mortal world from their domain in the spiritual one.

A ritual or sacrifice must be needed to empower the spirits so they can pass the barrier to visit their followers in the mortal world, the weaker the spirit is, the more valuable the sacrifice must be to empower them to pass the barrier. The spirits however may still communicate with their followers easily through possessing an animal or person, manifesting their environment to communicate or even whisper in their ear of someone nearby at a holy site.

The only way for the dead or living in the spiritual realm to return to the mortal realm is through passing the barrier must need either Forráðamaður using Hindrunarsverð. Or else it is impossible for a mortal to cross it. The barrier can be broken though forbidden magic by doing forbidden rituals lost to time as it is said it burned when the ancient jarls were killed. The Barrier can also be opened by the enchantments artifacts such as the Skógarhorn.

Enda Guðanna
Enda Guðanna or known as the end of the gods. Is an event prophesied in ancient Baronovian texts to happen when Máni, the spirit of the moon breaks the barrier that separates the world of the living from that of the dead. It would cause a massive spiritual war between the living and the dead, one that would end in the destruction of the region and the death of the spirits. The event is described in many old Baronovian books but there are three known sagas that detail the end of the region and the spirits.

Sögu Konunganna (ᛋöᚷᚢ ᚴᛟᚾᚢᚾᚷᚨᚾᚾᚨ)
Sögu Konunganna or known as the history of kings, is one of the three sagas located at the Baronov Cathedral that write a detailed look at Enda Guðanna. The story written around the Avalon Occupation of the Baronov Isles, talks about the story of the Karl Karlson and how he received the prophecy from his grandfather that the spirits would kill him and the Plagosi people for their sins against the spirits. Karl would then in a panic to avoid this prophecy, used the dark magics his grandfather had found and used it to defeat the primary spirits and trap them into objects.

In the story it is said that this would be the first of many events to come that will lead to Enda Guðanna. Due to Karl Karlson's actions he earned the nickname "Svikari Guðanna" (Betrayer of the Gods) among the Prestrs around the Jarldom and soon enough due to the spirits now unable to protect the Baronovian people. Foreign invaders and Karls and Thralls would take advantage and cause chaos, eventually leading to the downfall of the Jarldom, and eventually the Sögu Konunganna ends as Karl Karlson would be found dead at the throne room, looking at the moon with a pendant in his hand as the his village and empire burn around him.

Ævintýri Keisarans (Æᚡᛁᚾᛏýᚱᛁ ᚴᛖᛁᛋᚨᚱᚨᚾᛋ)
Ævintýri Keisarans or known as the Adventures of the Emperor, is one of the three sagas that is stored in the Baronov Cathedral that write a detailed look at how Harald Karlson found out about the prophecy of Enda Guðanna.

The story tells us of Harald's voyage around his Jarldom, making outposts and shrines spreading the faith while also researching more about the spirits and their creation and their end, Harald was determined to find out the truth about everything. One day Harald discovered something interesting when practicing a ritual that could show the truth of all life, a prophecy was shown to him through a vision. A vision that showed Harald Enda Guðanna, he saw the spirits he worshipped breathe their last breaths, his kingdom and people killed and the armies of the dead ravaged the mortal realm and a flaming sword piercing the earth, destroying everything.

Harald was horrified and he would research more into it and how to avoid the destruction of his homeland. He would soon also tell the spirits as much as he could about the prophecy and they listened, however Máni would learn of the prophecy after sending the dead to spy on Harald in the mortal world. Máni would use her forbidden magic and possess a Prestr to trick Harald that the spirits were gonna go against him, curse and kill his entire bloodline if he continued to try and find a way to prevent Enda Guðanna.

Harald would go against the words of the possessed Prestr and continued his research and rituals despite going against the horrors Máni would throw upon him. Harald would soon find a solution to this, after years of research he found and wrote down a spell or ritual that would trap any god and bind them to an object, imprisoning them until they are released, Harald released if he could trap and bind Máni to an object, Enda Guðanna could be prevented and he planned to share his info with the spirits. This would then cause Máni to stop him and send a Herrar hinna dauðu to go and slay the legendary Harald in a battle. With the magical weapons Máni gave the Herrar hinna dauðu, Harald would use his own enchanted weapons to fight the Herrar hinna dauðu, and so at the isles of the Southern Plagosi Sea, they would battle.

A mortal fighting against one of the strongest warriors of Máni's army. It was said that Harald despite being infirm with his age would fight strong enough to almost defeat the Herrar, however the sun was setting and soon the moon would rise, this would empower the Herrar which kill Harald by impaling his heart. Harald's last action however was to use his last breath to say a incantation to the spirits, in which it was said one of the Valkyrjukappi came in and sent the Herrar back to the spirit realm and to carry Harald's corpse back to his home, where his grandson, Karl Karlson would find Harald in the arms of the Valkyrjukappi with a book in his hands.

The Spiritual and Mortal Planes/Realms
In the religion of Krellr Gǫfugr, there are two worlds or realms, the spiritual realm where the dead and the spirits reside and the mortal realm where creatures and players reside.

The Mortal Plane
The Mortal Plane is the world in which players and the living inhabit. In this world in which we reside, it is the job of the living to maintain it as it was a gift from the spirits themselves. The spirits manage every element within the mortal world, the tree's, the wind, water and fire and so much more.

The Spiritual Plane
The Spiritual Plane is the world in which the spirits and the dead inhabit. From this world is where the spirits watch and manage the mortal plane. controlling the elements and protecting those who are faithful.

The spirit of the moon, Máni once ruled this world with Sólbjǫrg's help as it was filled with endless sea with an eternal night shining the world, but was overthrown and banished by Skógr for teaching living in the mortal plane forbidden magic that could harm the barrier between both worlds.

Skógr (ᛋᚴᛟᚷᚱ)
Skógr, the spirit of bamboo and the current king of the spirits, is the first child of Sólbjǫrg and Máni. Born out of the tears of both the sun and moon that were planted into the eternal void, Skógr's birth would mark the beginning of life in both the spiritual and mortal plane. Alongside his birth, he was born with very interesting features, his hair was a mix of blonde and dark green. glowing green eyes symbolizing the power of the bamboo.

At a young age, Skógr brought plants to life in the mortal and spiritual planes, and made the barrier separating the two worlds out of bamboo as well. Skógr was a natural at using his powers of nature, however having the personality of his mother, Máni.

Aldrnari (ᚨᛚᛞᚱᚾᚨᚱᛁ)
Aldrnari, the spirit of fire is the second child of Sólbjǫrg and Máni. Born out of the raging fires of the sun and forged into the image of her mother. Aldrnari was born with interesting features, blazing red hair, an eternal blazing fire in her eyes and scars of fire around her body.

At a young age, Aldrnari played with her powers, pranking her siblings and parents, more specifically her brother lǫgr and generally causing havoc on the spiritual plane by burning everything. One day however Sólbjǫrg showed and taught her how to properly use her powers for good.

Soon enough when Aldrnari grew up. she had mastered her powers and provided the Ancient Baronovians the gift of fire and heat that they would use to heat themselves during the cold winters and cook their food to eat. For this, Aldrnari was praised and widely liked for her generosity of the gift even up to this day in Modern Baronov now being represented in the mortal realm with the Spámaður af Aldrnari.

lǫgr (ᛚᛟᚷᚱ)
lǫgr, the spirit of water, is the third child of Sólbjǫrg and Máni. Born out of the tears of his mother, Máni. lǫgr's birth brought the sea, tides, rain and other forms of water into the spiritual and mortal planes. lǫgr is described at birth to have a mix of a light blue and blonde hair made out of water, glowing blue eyes like the untamable sea and scars that shine as beautifully as the blue ocean.

When lǫgr was young, he used his powers to bring water to both the spiritual and mortal realms, filling the void with endless sea and bringing aquatic life with the help of his brother Skógr. Despite this however, lǫgr would be pranked a lot by both of his siblings, this would anger him a lot, making it rain severely in both realms. Soon enough Sólbjǫrg helped him to stand up to his siblings and become strong. When lǫgr grew up, he improved his ability to control the water of the realms, more importantly giving the gift of water to the creatures of the mortal plane.

lǫgr loves to help guide sailors around the world, watch the aquatic life thrive, produce storms and rain and help the ancient Baronovians and all others faithful. Because of this, lǫgr was one of the most liked spirits out of them all due to his kindness and helpfulness both in Ancient and Modern Baronov, currently being represented in the mortal world by the Spámaður af lǫgr.

Sólbjǫrg (ᚼ)
Sólbjǫrg is the spirit of the sun and father of the spirits. Sólbjǫrg is the meditator among his family, keeping the spirits from fighting each other for more power. He would create day to balance the spirits out and kill all the horrors the fighting between the spirits caused such as mobs.

Máni (ᛗᚨᚾᛁ)
Máni, the spirit of the moon and the dead also has the title of 'Mother of the Spirits'. Máni was the second spirit to bring balance to her counterpart, Sólbjǫrg.

Máni has become the Stjórnandi hinna dauðu, or ruler of the dead after being dethroned of ruler of the spiritual realm and banished by Skógr for giving the mortals forbidden magic.

As ruler of the dead, Máni soon wanted revenge on the spirit of the sun. She would start to organize the dead, turning them into monsters and using her powers, making some faster, smarter and stronger. She would call them Skipstjóri hinna Látnu. or Captain's of the Dead. She would then corrupt very few dead souls to be extremely powerful, these were the Lords of the Dead or Herrar hinna dauðu. Beings corrupted from their original form, filled with hatred and rage to destroy the living.

Using her power, Máni could be able to send out some of her Skipstjóri into the mortal plane, such as the mythic minions the living fight around the world. Very few times she can send out the Herrar's or the mythic bosses as it's difficult to make the dead bypass the barrier back to the living without the permission of Forráðamaður.

Eik is known to be kind but quick tempered, getting furious at those ungrateful mortals to cut down tree's and not replant them.

Despite this, the old vikings of the era adored her and used her as a symbol of beauty for the breathtaking forests that was all over the region. However they feared the many things lurking in her forests, one of which were the Sírenu Skógarins who would help Eik on spreading her wrath upon the mortals who disrespected her and her forests.

Hraun (ᚺᚱᚨᚢᚾ)
Hraun, the spirit of lava, sister of Aldrnari after his father, Sólbjǫrg used a tear of the sun to create him in his image. Hraun was described to have features similar to her sister, blazing yet short red hair, an eternal blazing fire in their eyes and scars of fire around their body. A benevolent yet envious spirit, he had mastered the skills of forging and shared it with the mortals, mostly the dwarven kingdoms in the region.

However Hraun is known for his envy of his sister and he always thought he should deserve to be the primary spirit of fire. One day, a disagreement between the siblings escalated into a full-fledged battle. The heavens roared, and the very earth beneath the mortal realm trembled as the spirits clashed in a cataclysmic confrontation. In the midst of their cosmic struggle, Hraun, in a desperate attempt to gain the upper hand, inadvertently triggered dormant volcanoes within the heart of the Plagosi region. Some of the once-thriving Viking Kingdoms in the region were consumed by molten fury, its structures crumbling in the wake of an eruption that shook the foundations of the region.

Lava flowed like rivers, devouring everything in its path, the earth separated making lava rise from the ground and consuming all. The sound of the injured being burned alive was heard throughout the realms. Upon seeing this, Hraun went on his knees and grieved for the innocent life he had killed, but had only one person to blame, her sister Aldrnari. Aldrnari however with the help of her siblings and father, banished Hraun to a realm made out of fire and heat and inhabited by creatures forged out of Hraun's nightmares. This realm dubbed by the mortals as the Nether is where Hraun lives in exiled, however swears to forge a sword powerful enough to impale every spirit's heart and take revenge upon hearing the sound of the Skógarhorn.

In return the sirens would plede their loyalty to go to Eik instead of the moon spirit, Máni. Some sirens agreed while others didn't.

Those who did agree would build a Tjald to Eik on the mainland of the continent called Eik's Tjald. The rest who didn't agree would continue to wander the continent looking for their next victim Recently sightings of these creatures have become extremely rare as their habitat were cleared out by the Plagosi Natives in fear that they would appear. Only very few are said to still live in the region and have adapted to hiding in old town ruins that are close to a forest or hide in caves until the trees comes out again.

Valkyrjukappi (ᚡᚨᛚᚴᚤᚱᛃᚢᚴᚨᛈᛈᛁ)
Valkyrjukappi are Warriors of Skógr.

The Valkyrjukappi are tasked by Skógr to fight any of the undead that roam the Mortal Realm Máni had sent to terrorize mortals and to seek and recruit more Jarlarnir af Valkyrjuríki by spectating battles and duels and asking the victors if they want to join.

The weapons they crafted were not merely tools of war; they were works of art, each piece telling a story of the dwarves' resilience and mastery over the elements. The armor, adorned with intricate engravings and symbols, was not only a means of protection but a testament to the dwarves' connection with the spirits and the raw power of the earth.

The Dwarven society was structured around their craft, with apprentices learning the secrets of metallurgy from the experienced masters. They erected grand workshops, where the rhythmic clang of hammers striking metal echoed through the caverns. The dwarven kingdoms flourished as a bastion of innovation and artistic expression, with every piece of weaponry and armor representing a fusion of practicality and aesthetic brilliance.

The spirit they are sacrificing to charge up the spear for Forráðamaður and him to use it to open the barrier
