Synvetone

Synvetone is a form of ancestor worship that is the primary faith of the Corde. This religion originated somewhere in Coredinia (Beauridine) in modern day Rypara, sometime after the elven migrations. It's primarily worshipped by Oralian Elves. It's primary symbols are the Raven and the four-pointed Star, known as "The Shard".

Worship
Synvetone is a heavily ritualistic religion; these rituals primarily take place in nature near shrines that honor an Ancestor.

The Ancestors
In Rathnir, there are four currently known Ancestors, although in Beauridine, there could be more that are worshipped. Each are people that pla

yed important roles in the history of Coredinian society with their own titles. Here is a list of the four known Ancestors.

Ritual
Conversion Similarly to most Synvet rituals, the conversion ritual is performed during the coldest hour of the night. A paragraph from an Ancestral story of the convert's choice will be read, and if the shrine begins emitting a glow, the conversion ritual has succeeded.

Night of the Callous Sky
The Night of the Callous Sky is a Synvet "holiday", involving an astral phenomenon where three stars known as the Pendant Stars align perfectly under a yellow lunar eclipse. It is believed this event creates a connection between shrines and the Ancestral Plane. A ritual can be performed using a text called "Omenoron Tun"; in this ritual, the participant must sync itself with a spirit to become able to practice Omenotrony, the magic of Synvetone. Sometimes, an unlucky participant will encounter a Forgotten spirit, a demon stronger than a mortal, which will take over one's form and turn the participant into a Remnant, a living demon who only wishes to corrupt the world.
