The Forgotten Faith of Ayur

Gods/Goddesses
Verdus, God of Knowledge and Wisdom:

Verdus is mainly found in the form of a dolphin, he travels the oceans spreading his love and the word of Ayur. Verdus is best friends with Merzocias and was once a friendly kind soul. Until the abandonment.

Serene, Goddess of Tranquillity:

Serene is a water nymph that spends her times swimming around in the deep oceans searching for treasures, as well as transforming into many different animals and spending time with humans on shore and in the water. Serenes favourite form is an Axolotl, small and cute and perfect to blend in.

Aslaug, God of Time and Change:

Aslaug is a mysterious figure, he is old, he is wise, but he is always in hiding. Aslaug spends a majority of his time in the clouds helping time move along and keeping the world in order. When he does decide to meet his fellow gods ,he is in the form of a Turtle, the species of turtle is up to which god he plans on meeting that day.

A Shift in time
Aslaug had always loved Rathnir, it was his child; peace, and joy, but both Aslaug and Serene knew it would come to and end soon enough. With their worshippers giving up hope and balance in the world fading, they both decided it would be best to leave early, to escape the hatred and start on a new project, one they could work on together. Verdus never gave up hope, though, he was staying until the end. Using his wisdom and his strength, he kept trying, feeling defeated but hopeful; but a figure named Merzocious promised him prosperity and success, so he took it, no questions asked.

Merzocious
Not much is known about this...creature, he is known to be a sea serpent at times, and the keeper of the underworld at others. Legends say he was slain long ago, but if the prophecy is true, this is far from correct.

The Unbalance
With two powerful beings joining hands, the underworld and knowledge, destruction rained upon Rathnir. Wars, battles, conflicts, hunger, poverty, death. But Verdus had never felt so powerful. Mad with power, he struck Rathnir with one mighty blow, forming a hole to appear deep within the south, right on top of a town named Kamiyama. Its settlers in shock and its government in despair, they didn't know what to do, until...the ancient books were found. These books detailed everything the citizens needed to know, what to sacrifice, how to sacrifice, where to sacrifice, and how to restore balance upon this world. The citizens of Kamiyama took it upon themselves to worship Aslaug and Serene until their return, and fight Verdus and Merzocious until they cannot anymore. Word of this quickly spread to the gods, and the race was on.
