Kaan'el

Kaan'el is a religion worshiped mainly by travelers and nomads. The religion's sole deity is Kaan, known as protector of the roadside hearth and friend to travelers. Due to not having a main origin or place of religion and worship or even an organized group promoting its existence, Kaan'el remains unknown by many and is extremely local in nature.

History
Not much is known about the origins of Kaan'el. However, it is speculated among scholars that a juvenile version of Kaan'el originated from somewhere southeastern of Eldham 50 years ago, likely in the Sea of Lélo'É.This speculation is due to the only known follower of Kaan'el, Galaxy, being located on an island in the Sea of Lélo'É for a long period of time. Kaan'el would then begin to slowly spread across Eldham in the form of campfires being put next to less traveled roads, along with a few signs inscribed with the main beliefs of Kaan'el.

Main Beliefs and Practices
The religion of Kaan'el is mainly centered around ideas of survival through reuse of discarded goods. For example, nomads who worship Kaan'el may stop at campsites and offer their food to the flame, which is then taken by Kaan and given to other travelers struggling on their journeys.

Kaan is theorized to be an outlier of most deities of the Eldham and Rathnir religions (harsh but benevolent gods that judge whether or not mortal beings deserve eternal punishment based on their morality), in that he is seen more as a guardian of the idea of safe passage, and a friend that aids others in need of help while traveling.

Because of this unorthodox relationship between Kaan and his followers, rituals such as being inducted into faith are absent in Kaan'el. Instead, it is believed that the bare minimum of a ritual in Kaan'el are the placements of a campfire and signs which have variations of the following:

'''"Rest here. Kaan of the hearth protects this flame.

Stay here to calm yourself and reflect."'''

This phrase simplifies the main ideas and beliefs. they state that Kaan guards the fire, which symbolizes the safety of a home's hearth, inviting weary travelers to rest at the campfire.

Nomad's Passage of Kaan'el
The Nomad's Passage of Kaan'el is a book written by Galaxy, the singular confirmed follower of Kaan'el to date, which describes the principles of Kaan'el and how he had interpreted them. Unfortunately, the book was discovered in the Sea of Lélo'É and does not describe the origins or whereabouts of Galaxy.

The Nomad's Passage of Kaan'el lists _ main principles of Kaan'el, as well as minor ruin hunting tactics. The main principles are as followed:

1. Reuse what Others Discard

2. Discard what Can be for Others

3. Rest Comfortably with Others

4. Live for Tomorrow's Sunrise

5. Always Remember Home and the Hearth
