Sannhet

Sannhet is a religion found in its home continent of Syltör more specificly in in the provincial group of Andorn. Sannhet is a religion that was a creation by the first prophet Salos von Kendal after his meditation in the Wivoms. The Religion has many primary gods but one of the most important is Sannyohm being the God of truth and the primary god in the path of salvation. Sannhet also accepts most Soleannen cannon to be true as an important god in Sannhet is Boreallis, the Patron god of Savras. Sannhet also exepts some teachings from Twin Dragon leading some to believe Sannhet is a combination of the two, which is untrue.

The Founding
Sir Salos von Kendal started off as a Twin Dragon practiconer seeing many truths in the religion, but over time He started to get disillusioned with the practices of the twin dragon belief. This disillusion eventually cumulated into Salos separating himself from the Twin Dragon church and starting his own cult. After some time leading this small sect of Twin Dragon he started to realize even without his idea of the tyrannical leader of the church, the religion still felt wrong to him. So he had a pilgrimage to Savras were he saw in person the Soleannen god, Boreallis. Salos would go on to say that that Boreallis inspired him to go on the meditation that would change his life forever.

Salos would listen to the words Boreallis told him and venture up into the Wivoms in search of the true meaning of life. Him living most of his life in the city had no idea how to survive the harsh conditions of the mountains. After 3 days he was unable to find any food or water and fell to the ground in weakness. On the ground he begged to the heavens for the point of all this suffering. From that moment he heard a voice like thunder in the sky which said the word death. Salos would then begin his journey into the after life. In the after life he would spend 900 life times of meditation in seeking the truth. In the overworld he was only in this state for 30 days. He would finish his meditation by meeting Sannyohm, which Sannyohm gave Salos the gift of Sannhetok, enlightenment. Telling Salos to go and tell the Sannhet, the truth.

Salos would wake up knowing the truths of the universe, realizing his mission to save people from the cycle of Kajasil going into the streets of Savras and preaching. Many thought he was a random drunk man so the guard was called to arrest him. Once brought in he was seen by Kaiser, Lucius von Savras, who recognized him demanding the guards too free him. He explained his beliefs too Lucius, which came as a shock to Lucius, who decided to let him go. After this he went to the cult he founded to move them away from the Twin Dragon sect and into a completely new belief. These previous cult members would now be the first followers of Sannhet.

Parts of the Belief
Some major influencing factors in the belief are:

Andornian Polytheism

Soleannen

Twin Dragon

Creation
In the beginning there is Omnis. Omnis is everything that can be and everything that has been destroyed. Omnis remained stable for an infinity until something appeared. No one knows why but there was a spark of creation that disrupted the cycle which kept the Omnis stable, leading to the creation of the Balancing forces. These forces are known as Lavmakt, The destructive force of the universe, Salmakt, The balancing force of the universe, and Halmakt, The creative force of the universe. These forces start repelling each other causing an immense amount of destabilization in the Omnis creating the first consciousness, this first mind would be known as Sannyohm. Sannyohm was restricted in this early world as the Omnis was to unstable to create a stable mind. Sannyohm wanting more disrupted the fighting of the balancing forces causing the final balancing act of the universe. The three forces gained consciousness and something new, a physical state. These new beings became the dragons Lys, Kajol, and Gnosyl. These Dragons wanted to reign supreme over the others so once again they start fight. All except one. Gnosyl, the Dragon of Balance, goes to Sannyohm and asks for help to stop this fighting. They both come up with a plan to use Gnosyl to stabilze the fighting. Doing this Gnosyl gives up his soul in order to bind Lys and Kajol to a cycle. This cycle would become the cycle of Kajasil, which is the creation and destruction of everything. After the beginning of the cycle creation started. All the known world and gods were created during this time.

Gods
