History
In an ancient time long ago, the islands of Baronov were ruled by different Jarls and their Jarldoms. The Jarls believed in the Spirits that they would protect them against any threat and give them victory in their conquests and raids. However all the Jarls each believed that one of the spirits were more superior then the other which is what caused feuds with much bloodshed and wars. However one Jarl from the Jarldom of Bar who lived on the island of current day Baronov named Harald Karlson, with the help of Skógr, he conquered the rest of the jarldoms in the region bringing peace and becoming the greatest Jarl of the region.

Harald would voyage around his Jarldom, making outposts and shrines spreading the faith while also researching more about the spirits. However Harald discovered something interesting, an ancient ritual that could bind spirits and gods into objects and a ritual to release them from their prisons. So Harald researched further but Skógr demanded he stop or else he and the spirits of the Krellr would destroy the land, Harald would take this threat and in order to provide protection to the people of his Jarldom from the wrath of the spirits, he trapped the primary spirits into objects and hid away his research so no one would find it.

However without the protection of the primary spirits, The Jarldom Fell leaving it up to the lands of Avalon and others but soon enough a traveler named Cakehacks would settle on the old Jarldom Capital making the Kingdom of Baronov and the religion would fade away but then the Battle of the Faiths happened. A series of events that happened within the Kingdom of Seahaven where Skógr, Aldrnari and lǫgr are found by tomb raiders who powered the spirits by placing them at the fallen Igskorani Temple however now the religious state of the kingdom would fall into ruin.

This would lead other religions send their faithful followers to taking advantage of the situation and to bring their religion into the isles. However the followers of the spirits went to find Harald's old research to release their spirts. They would go through ruins filled traps and lost outposts of the destroyed Jarldom of Bar to find a pieces of Harald's research to piece together and perform the ritual to release them. Many contenders tried to stop them, Such as a new faith called Valnorsicism, from the land North Norcician came from. However they and others were repelled as the spirits were released from their prison and protected the faith of the Baronovians once again.

At first, there was a void of darkness, in which Sólbjǫrg and Máni existed peacefully in order to maintain balance. Sólbjǫrg then created the sun and with it, it brought light to the void. Sólbjǫrg then followed this by gifting pieces of the sun to his lover, Máni. Máni then used the gifted pieces of the sun to create the moon, bringing night and day to the void.

It was then Sólbjǫrg and Máni decided to create the mortal and spiritual planes, using their powers, they set a barrier between the world's of the living and dead. It was here Sólbjǫrg's and Máni's first child was born out of the tears of the sun and moon were planted into the void, Skógr.
