The Stadveils

Who we are...
The Stadveils is the relatively new worldwide group of the believers, who are convinced in the existence of the namesake spirits - stadveils, and their close relation with the human souls.

What we believe in...
As mentioned above, we believe in the stadveils.

These are the spirits that are born in the times unknown to man, who wander the lands of Rathmir and Eldham observing the world for centuries, watching the progression of the humanity. Each one of them strives to do one thing - it is to tether itself to the new human soul and, subsequently, to its body. Through them, they are able to feel, to interact with the world and to influence it in the ways that they so long after many years of omniscient observations.

Yet they cannot control the bodies directly - their tether is always secondary and too weak to compete with the one of the soul. Instead, they use their experience and knowledge and "whisper" to the soul in the languages so complex and abstract, our minds aren't able to comprehend them. So we only receive the tiniest pieces of information, in the prophetic dreams and intrusive thoughts, in the gut feelings and the instinctive desires. It is what some call "subconscious", yet we know the truth, and we spread the word of the great spirits that sway us to their will.

What we try to achieve...
The stadveils come in all hearts and minds, and unfortunately, it means that some are worse than the others. Amidst the compassionate guides and advisors of conscience and justice, along with them the person may have a tether of the evil, hungry and lustful, of the greedy and insidious stadveils that were the first to attach themselves like leeches to the innocent new human soul. If left to its own devices, the evil stadveil may eventually sway the human to the worse paths in the pursuit of its own selfish desires, and doom the person to perish by what they thought was their own decision. And too many fell down this path...

And this is what we try to prevent.

We, the believers in The Stadveils religion, strive to separate the evil from our souls and at the same time let the good tether themselves to us. And to do this, you must nurture your own soul. The tether strengthens whenever you do what the stadveil wants, and it weakens whenever you do the opposite. Eventually, the tether either grows to become inseparable and the two souls merge into one, or the tether breaks, and the others rush towards the now-free body. To grow better, you must do what your heart calls for, and avoid what hurts or numbs it. Help the strangers or take what your body needs, build the greatness that deserves to stand or collapse the one that does not, spare the enemy that is worth the mercy or be swift against the ones who are corrupt. Be a good person, and the bad tethers shall snap clean, and the good stadveils shall join your side and lead you to the life you truly desire.
