Gingkoism

Ginkgoism is a religion from Shattered Sea of Rathnir, from an unknown island and culture.

These gods are Rathir and they all have one place they all are present - the holy tree, Ginkgo Biloba. People, who believe in Ginkgoism are called "Worshippers of Ginkgo". They have two more sacred (not holy) places - The Golden Pagoda and The Talking Stone. The Golden Pagoda is said to be the heart of Rathir and whoever talks to The Talking Stone, may hear him reply back - it's the gods' way of communicating back to humans.

Ginkgoism has two holy places - The Sanctuary of The Worshippers and The Island of Chu - island where The Talking Stone is located and where the original Worshippers came from. The Sanctuary is something like a church and the island is located somewhere in the Shattered Sea.

It was founded by Szetra Qaporati, a pirate from nothern tribes, who was the first man to find The Stone and talk to the gods and he became The Taagol - Worshippers' leader. The Ginkgo culture was forgotten by others, because it was so isolated not only by the sea, but also by the people.

Centuries later, an unnamed tribe (for political reasons) attacked The Island of Chu and destroyed The Worshippers' city of Shades completly. Whoever escaped was later killed by pirates, bandits or just a bigger wave. Only one man survived and he started spreading the
