Bambism (Rathnir)

Origins and Introduction
Bambism is a religion created by the Phagosian Federation in the south of syltor. The Bambists believe in the purification of Rathnir and the purge of sinners. Bambists believe in the "greater world", a massive realm that is the home to the divine gods, one of which is Lomos, the god of Bamboo.

Origins of the Elders and the Great Storm
In the godless world, the three regions still existed. The Godless World was created by the Almighty, whose name would be spat on if we tried to convey it. The Almighty created the Godless World, then disappeared never seen by mortals nor god again.

Specifically in the region of Kasara, a great Storm had come and the farmer-warriors of Kasara prayed to heaven, hell, and ether, for a savior to come and help them. And such, a rain drop turned into the First Elder, Lomos. Lomos took the form of man, and he was perfect in every way. The spot where he was born, the great Stalk of Topethra was created, and as it skyrocketed through the sky and beyond, the Storm was destroyed. And from the great Stalk of Topethra, Vayuk, the glorious king of kings, jumped to the ground, standing tall with Lomos.

In Nyshii, the Storm took form as a plague, killing the fish, children, and seniors of the fishing docks. Imdite rose from the waters, and kept the spirit of the Nyshii strong, fighting off the plague with main character energy.

In Cyshara, the Storm took form as a flood, destroying homes, lives, and the livestock of the Cysharan nomads. Cytara, Elder of Time, brought the fallen back to life, and Estus, Elder of Magic, with immense energy, forced the Flood into the depths of the Godless World. Estus is often called to do immense tasks, and such, she is known to fall into a century long sleep after these tasks.

The god who developed this storm was Ivaris, the evil god of chaos. Lomos and Vayuk, with the help of Estus, created a magical cell meant to contain and punish Ivaris for all eternity, buried deep inside the greater world.

Creation of Rathnir
After the Storm was taken care of, the world was safe and had peace and harmony for eons, all the gods taking on different tasks, including Estus. When Estus fell into a deep slumber, the magic that was formerly used to trap Ivaris broke loose, and in turn, Ivaris bursted out in flames and rocketed out of his cell into the Greater World, causing the Greater World to be in chaos.

Ivaris traveled to the Kasara tribe and set fire to the great bamboo stalk that once stood as tall as the heavens, but now was completely burned and it was like it was never there. This sent shockwaves around the Greater World, and the chaos ensued for thousands of years, until Estus woke from her slumber and watched the chaos ensue. All the buildings and towns were burned down, and most the population died.

Estus funneled her energy into splitting the worlds into three. The Kasara region became what is now known as Rathnir. The Nyshii rejion became what we call Eldham. The Cyshara region became what we now call Kylorne. Estus was never seen awake again after that point. The Greater World became only the heavens, which Ivaris was not in. He became trapped in the infinite void of death that used to be where the three tribes were. Ivaris still today is wandering around the Greater World in hopes of finding an exit.
