Otarishi Shamanism

Otarishi shamans believe in three gods: the God of Light, Darkness and Death. A man is considered to be balanced according to religion when the gods of Darkness and Light are equal in him.

Theology
The ancient Otarish shamans believed that there was a God of Nature at the beginning of the world. He created the world, but because of that he died and free god emerged from him: the god of darkness, light and the dead. Darkness represents strength, power, and the evil will that comes with it. Light represents tenderness, help, and the goodwill that comes with it. They are by nature enemies and both are found in man, normally balanced, but if isn't then man begins to hear voices that cause him to eliminate the other god within himself.

The third god, God of the Death, is responsible for escorting the dead to the otherworld so he has the power to decide life and death. He is able to create balance in man, but to do so requires sacrifice. There were many other theories that mention five or even more gods, but only this theory was uniformly accepted by the community, the rest were all called Nemours.

History
In Ancient times before Ellysian Empire was created, there was a town called Otarish. In that town there was a religion that was called the Otarish Shamans. They are thinked there are three gods in the world. Their theology is spread in that town and many people travel to the town to see their temples and knowledge. They created a brotherhood to defend the village and spread their thinking, they named it the Otarish Brotherhood.

Once an evil shaman, Gretel wanted to kill one of the gods. She failed but the gods thinked that the shamans wanted to kill them, so they cursed all the shamans. They get looted by bandits every month. The plant didn't grow and traders didn’t come.

One of the raids killed most of them. The brotherhood was disbanded, and the survivors fled. As we know just one survived.

Practice
Shamans used to hold rituals that were expected to produce different results, such as a better harvest, a strong fight, and good luck fishing. In addition, on the third day of each month they worshiped the God of Light by giving each other gifts, on the seventh day they worshiped the God of Darkness with a tournament, and on the last day of the month the Gods of Death sacrificed an animal.

Noumors
Many shamans thinked that there aren't just three gods. These are all rejected by many but some get written down in books. Mostly they are just thinked a god that is connected to something in the world like the Animal Nemour, that says that there is a god for every animal in the world. There are some crazy nemour like the Dirt Nemour. This nemour says that there is a Dirt God who is defending nature and he is the rightful heir, not the God of Death.

But there is one that is very  clever and it was almost accepted, The Hierarchy Nemour. That says that there is serv’s of the gods. They are helping us in some ways and if somebody somehow comes close to killing a god they defend him with all cost. This is gained evidence when one of the shamans, Gretel, wanted to do a ritual against the God of Lighting. When the others discovered her, she was just on the floor and dead. Next to her were two runes, a guardian and the light. But after the attempt the gods cursed the shamans and nobody cared that much about the Noumors.

Brotherhood
The Brotherhood was created to defend the Shamans and the village. They lived in a Fortress and they got some prerogative, like they don’t need to pay taxes and get food without paying for that. When it was created there were only ten members. There was a Master who was the leader. Under him were the Shamans. They are mostly just created maps, potions and drinks for the Brotherhood. For last there was Socius. They are just the normal members, who are assigned to missions. But in the end they got 50 members. This was big compared to other towns.
