Vepribism

The Beginning
Some time ago, but not too long, a player known as Slagathorus broke open an obsidian tomb holding a destructive god-like being within, this being marked Slagathorus as it's worshipper, but this was not something Slagathorus agreed to, Slagathorus did not worship The Zarzaleus, instead, he sought to seal it away once again.

This however, was not an easy task, but Slagathorus found Somebody, he was unsure of who he found, but they said could help. Together, Slagathorus and the person sealed The Zarzaleus back within the obsidian tomb before it could do anything, protecting the world from the destruction that would have otherwise been brought upon it...

Long Ago
This person revealed itself to be Augmentum, Old God of Growth, Augmentum was once worshipped by thousands of people, but The Zarzaleus killed nearly every single one of them, after which the god and their remaining followers sealed it away within an obsidian tomb deep beneath the ground.

Augmentum then left to guard the tomb for eternity, but later, when they looked away from the tomb, for only a moment, Slagathorus had accidentally broken it and freed The Zarzaleus.

Today
Augmentum told Slagathorus to leave them to continue protecting the tomb, telling them of their replacement, Vepribus, God of thorns. Slagathorus created a village within a spruce forest, naming it after this new god he had heard of, building a shrine to the god, attracting it's attention, and being deemed as a follower of the god Vepribus.

Beliefs
In vepribism, it is believed that every star in the sky is a god, watching down on everything, and due to this, all rituals are to be done at night, when the gods look down onto the world.

Sweet berries are a gift from Vepribus, the thorns a deterrent for any of those who are not worthy, the vines receed when somebody fitting to pluck the juicy fruit without pain approaches, there are currently no worthy mortals.

At the town of Vepribus, an altar stands atop the tallest hill, the berries that grow upon this altar at sacred and NOT TO BE TOUCHED.

Worship
Worship of Vepribus involves consumption of sweet berries, a thorny gift that grows quickly and in large amounts, rituals usually consist of sacrifices or entertainment, as being a god can get boring at times, the god usually makes themselves known through rapid growth of nearby plant-life, sometimes they do not however, simply watching.

Ritual entertainment can consist of dances, duels, and various other activities.

War between vepribians is prohibited without permission from Vepribus, this is rarely allowed, if the war itself continues, the vepribians are to leave the war as soon as possible, and as peacefully as possible, it is considered extremely dishonorable to battle a fellow vepribian without permission, and can lead to no longer being considered apart of the religionby it's members.

Those who believe in vepribus should have some sort of charm or relic on them, though it is not needed, this should be an item solely dedicated to this purpose, as the meaning of this is to show devotion through giving up an inventory slot in the name of vepribus, if your item is ever stolen, it is okay to make a new one, as it is the sacrifice of an inventory slot, not the item itself.
