Children of Drugnir

The Children of Drugnir is a religion in Abexilas.

Creation myth
Drugnir the First, Drugnir the Father, the Great Stony One - this deity bears several names among its followers. It is the Dwarven God, revered as the first of its kind, yet always a god from the beginning. Wanting to create the masterpiece of its life, it struck the peak of a mountain, and from the fragments of rocks emerged the first dwarves.

Then each of the gods bestowed upon the newly emerged race something from their domain: Kragnur imparted his temperament and fighting prowess upon them, Drimtri bestowed upon them the ability to learn and basic knowledge, Grumdra endowed the dwarves with long life and health, Brumbar taught them to build their fortresses, and Lindra gifted the dwarves with creativity and artistic abilities.

Though the faith is named "Children of Drugnir," it is not the only deity of this creed. In reality, it is a pantheon of six gods.

Organisation
The Children of Drugnir gladly welcome all who are interested in their faith, especially professions associated with the deities are highly esteemed.

To become a priest, the path is more intricate. Depending on which deity the candidate wishes to choose as their primary one, initiation and trial are conducted in a different manner. This will be described in the section dedicated to the comprehensive description of the deities.

Hierarchy
Uezsuomut - one of the Hetsnsa, chosen among them in a non-anonymous vote. For three years (one month), he holds the position of the head of the Children of Drugni cult. His duties include overseeing the main temple, conducting the most important ceremonies, and ensuring the well-being of the faithful. If the king or another ruler of the same faith seeks advice, Uezsuomut is obliged to counsel or appoint a representative to advise the ruler. He also has the final say during the Hetsnsa meetings. If Uezsuomut resigns or dies before the end of the three years, another vote will be held as soon as the successor to the deceased Hetsnsa, who previously held the position of Uezsuomut, is chosen. First know Uezsuomut was Rumrand Longfoot.

Hetsnsa - selected through a non-public vote, one of the Anpdainput, who will represent the entire domain of the deity during meetings with the other Hetsnsa, and is the high priest of one of the six gods. Title is referred to as "First Son" or "First Daughter," followed by the main deity of the Hetsnsa, for example: "Hetsnsa of Drugnir." They are responsible for overseeing their domain, the temple dedicated to the respective deity assigned to them, and the knowledge gathered within it. This is the highest rank a follower of a given deity's path can attain, and this position is awarded for life or until resignation (after 2 weeks of inactivity).
