Vergenfall

Vergenfall
Vergenfall is the primary religion of Caeli. It is a duotheistic religion centered around the gods Vorst and Mekarn. It is practised only In Caeli

Organization
The religion of Vergenfall is headed by a figure known as the Vorstmadr. This role currently is not filled. The Vorstmandr serves and communicates directly with Vorst.

Below the Vorstmandr there is a council of Ásegods. In the event of the death or resignation of the Vorstmadr, the council will vote among themselves to decide the next Vorstmadr.

Gods
In Vergenfall there are two main gods.

Vorst
Vorst is the creator of the world. He is the the brother of Mekarn. He created the many species of the world. He defeated Mekarn in battle, banishing him from the world.

Mekarn
Mekarn is the brother of Vorst. He attempted to overthrow Vorst as well, but was defeated and banished to the underworld. He now rules the underworld.

Mekarn's berayal.
After this the two brothers lived for many years in peace. They each forged a kingdom of theirs. Yet Mekarn grew jealous. It seemed like he got the smaller share. It felt like he got little of the credit.. He felt slighted.

Mekarn began preparing for war. He decided that he deserved to rule the world, and would kill Vorst for it. He forged a sword for himself, Semekhr, built armour, mobilized his kingdom and went to war.

For decades did the war last. None of the world was spared, and  ruin covered all. Yet at last Vorst came to fight Mekarn in person. He came wielding Varamark, the cursed sword, enraging Mekarn. He engaged Vorst with all his anger, all his hatred. Vorst was almost overwhelmed. Even with the great sword Mekarn was great in power and skill.

Mekarn's defeat
Yet at last the power of Varamark did sway the battle. As Mekarn tired, Vorst did beat him. Though he despaired at what his brother had become, he knew he had to do this. With each blow Mekarn's chance at victory slipped away. At last, the final blow came, and Mekarn was defeated. However, instead of destroying Mekarn completely, he was weakened greatly, and is slowing regaining his power.
