Lost Gods

"I swear by all the lost gods: whoever they may be."

The Lost Gods are a pantheon of deities currently being rediscovered throughout Rathnir. While their origins are unverifiable, they seem to have originated from the nomadic Najer culture, then forgotten as the nomads settled in villages.

Currently, only one deity has been confirmed, with others theorized.

The Buried Bells


Firstly rediscovered in the buried temple at present-day Najera'Jad, the Buried Bells is the first lost god rediscovered. While its form is unknown, its significance is that of Renewal. Two bells suspended by chains serve as the symbol of the deity; with the left representing life (Chimed at birth) and the right signifying death (chimed at funerals).

It is thought that villages that customarily have two bells in their town center have so as homage to the Buried Bells.

There are two known proverbs referencing this deity, which were found inscribed in the buried temple at Najera'Jad:

"Men, kings, and even gods may fall, but you shall rise again."

Written in response to when tragedy befalls someone.

"The Bell tolls for thee - the bell tolls for me."

Written to convey the passage of generations; The young surviving their ancestors.
