Cult of Gluto

Summary
The cult of Gluto is a religion that worships the council of Gluto. The godly organization of deities that's intention is to prevent the armies of the underworld and Akrui from taking the overworld. The gods themselves each represent small sects of life, excluding Akrui who rules the underworld. For example Vadin is the god of the sea fishermen and sailors. The Glutonians believe that when one dies they create a rift to the underworld into which the minions of Akrui drag the spirit. If the goddess Demetis thinks one is loyal or brave enough to be an assistance in Gluto's eternal fight against Akrui she will rescue them from there fate of eternal torture to help fight as a spirit. The way the Glutonians believe this balance came to be is that long ago a recently deceased spirit wondered into a dimension of evil. The dimension eroded away there ideals and granted them great powers until they where completely evil. This spirit became Akrui. As it became evident that Akrui was turning this world into a mirror image of the underworld so 11 brave people sacrifised themselves to gain great powers to fight of Akrui. These are the gods who parley at Gluto. There are also legends. Souls who have accrued powers in there fight against Akrui.

The difference between Gods and Legends
In mythology, gods are often legends, they aren’t certain and have weird and intertwining histories, but in Glotonian mythology and religion legends are very different to gods. Legends are ordinary people that not only have been chosen by Demetis but have ascended, once battling Akrui, through the ranks of the Glutonian armies until the gods recognise their talent and give them weapons enchanted with some powers of the gods, say the gift to Ohra D’Demitis which was a scythe capable of grow crops anywhere. There are also living legends, people who are so devoted to Gluto that they end their life to help its struggle against Akrui or have overcome great evils in the human world itself, all legends have their own special place in history though. Legends usually stand out for their extraordinary talents even before they die. Your chance to become a legend after your death is very small, it is almost impossible to rise to deity.

The gods
Less is known about the history of the gods, since their deaths are usually centuries, some even thousands of years ago.
