Tokmonism

Tokmonism is a fledgling religion founded in the town of Volotra.

 Story of its Founding 

Volotra was founded by the players MassiveNote6989 and spluk, it was founded in Arxella close to the border with Reingard. When MassiveNote arrived, construction began, and spluk soon joined and built a house of his own. Food problems were prevalent, and the harvest was growing painstakingly slowly, and the starting bread supplies had long run out. One day, a turtle spawned one the beach by the village, the turtle was quickly named Bob and was given an enclosure and offered some fish. From that day on, the harvest grew without delay, and the farm soon expanded, and wild berry fields were constructed. Seeing that I this turtle had some kind of good omen, MassiveNote, with the support of spluk, built the first church of Tokmonism in the village of Volotra. Bob the turtle (now the Great Turtle God Tokmon) resides inside, within the original pond that was constructed for him.

 Current State of the religion 

Due to Volotra and Tokmonism being located within Arxella, which was under the protection of Neidea, the Neidean government has taken measures to convert the Tokmonic church to Soleannen. Tzar Ferro of Arxella had had an agreement with the citizens of Volotra that they could worship their faith freely, but now that the Neidean government has found out, and the Church was recently vandalised, with the Neidans putting signs everywhere saying that the church had to be converted.

 Volotra’s Response 

Not wanting to give up the their freedom, Volotra’s citizens have decided that if the Church is converted by force, then Volotra will break away from Arxella and their Neidan overlords. Volotra and its citizens like Arxella and its leader, but if Arxella are unwilling to stop this Neidan aggression, then they will have no choice but to declare independence.
