Ranism

The worship of Confibula and the holy swamp
The Creation

'''Confibula saw the darkness and lack of life in the world. He knew that with the power he possesses he can change this, he just didn't know how. He started by trying to make others like him, though the others could not survive in the void. So he created the holy swamps, a place where these beings can live. But the beings he had created weren't as spectacular as he had imagined. they didn't move and they didn't speak. Confibula wasn't disappointed, knowing that this is a start to many great things. After many tries Confibula finally had done it. He had created a living being, a being that was simple yet so fascinating. Tho the being was far from being intelligent. Confibula then created the human, sentient beings that could think by themselves. Confibulas structure was too complex to the humans, and so Confibula showed himself as a frog(the first being that he had created). The humans were lazy, they didn't wish to develop their intelligence because they had no reason to. They lived perfectly in the holy swamps, they didn't need to lift a finger. Confibula saw this, and so he made the world. A dangerous place filled with past creations and many things to help the humans grow and expand. Confibula also created death, so the humans have to work for their survival, and those who worked and were fair people would be able to go to the holt swamps. And the ones who were lazy and used others so they didn't have to work, wouldn't get access to the holy swamps after their death. Confibula's plan worked, the humans now were forced to adapt and develop so they could overcome the challenges of the new world they were put in. But soon the humans started disagreeing with each other, and then started insulting and soon even killing themselves. Different groups of humans started forming each with the intention of growing stronger and getting power over the world. These groups soon became nations, and a giant struggle for power began. All of these things made the humans move away from confibulas teachings. A group of people were formed called Ranists who wished to bring the teachings of Confibula back to the world, and hopefully even make peace in the entire world.'''

The Beginning
Long ago the people of Kibbutz were in search of a home. They travelled Rathnir for many many weeks. Many began to tire as food and water supplies dwindled. They needed to find a place to stay as soon as they could. But first they needed water. They stumbled upon a dirty, poisonous pond. They began to fill up their bottles. Just as a person was about to take a deadly sip of this water, a frog appeared. This frog spoke to them and told them if they believed in its power to save them, it would. With hope nearly lost and no other option the people followed the frog. The frog led the people to an abandoned town known as Ozhaliz. In the middle of the town there was a statue of a frog, with clean water flowing out of its mouth. The frog turned to the people and spoke its name 'Confibula' and then, with a flash disappeared. The people walked over to the statue. On the back of it they could barley make out one word and that word was Ran (water).
