Tossanism

Tossanism (Singular Tossamite) was the religion followed mainly in the areas of former Ryzan. It was a polytheistic pantheon with 5 major deities and several minor deities, each corresponding to a region of Ryzan and an element.

The remnants of Tossanism can be found in Modern Malyan Province, but most, if not almost all members converted to Twin Dragon, with CanadianToss idolized as a Legendary Hero.

The Tossanite United Temples
The Tossanite United Temples was the name of the church of Tossanism. the Tsar of Ryzan and the Grand Patriarch of Tossanism are dual heads of religion, and below them are 5 Patriarchs dedicated to each of the major gods of Tossanism. lesser Patriarchs are dedicated to their respective minor deities, and all patriarchs, including the grand patriarch and lesser patriarchs, have their own temples.

Caelus
Caelus was the god of the skies and power, he was the patron deity of the Empire of Ryzan. He founded their capital of Tossagrad.

The oldest story of Caelus was the creation myth of Tossagrad: In the years before Tossagrad (B.T.F.) the southern tip of Ryzan was inhabited by many disperate tribes waring for dominance over the region but never really coming into a long-lasting supremacy. The two great tribes that controlled this era were the Tossans, anscestors of the now great Toss Dynasty, and the Altians, followers of a heathen god who's name is now lost to time. These tribes fought to a standstill for many centuries before the Tossans were granted a great boon by the holy sky, a great crown of which controlled the winds which allowed for the Tossans to end the centuries long war but the power overwhelmed the Chief of the Tossans, destroying all tribes on the southern tip of Ryzan. Feeling remorse for the tribes, Caelus granted another boon, showing himself as his avatar, the eagle, and leading the Tossans to the fertile port of which would then be founded as the great city of Tossagrad.

Attinstáinz
Attinstáinz was the god of the earth, forging, and neutrality. He was the patron deity of the Dwarven high kingdom of Khuzdurin. Attinstáinz created the great Arkenstone which grants the divine right to rule over all Dwarves.

In times before that of civilization by thousands of years, the gods Adolebis and Muhitan got into a great brawl of fire and water. while Adolebis was clearing land for his peoples with his great fires, Muhitan was angered by Adolebis coming too close to the lands she was saving for her own peoples, and a great fight broke out between them. Adolebis scorched her swamps, and Muhitan flooded his plains. Eventually, Attinstáinz, who prefers to keep to neutrality, was sick of the fighting, and in an act of great force, Attinstáinz raised the great mountain range Golden Hills between the two fighting deities in order to break up the fight and keep the peace.

in the years of exile, when the dwarves were in their hundred years as nomads in search of a new home, they were travelling through a particularly dangerous mountain pass when orcs had them cornered. Attinstáinz saw the predicament of the dwarves, and caused a great avalanche to wipe out the monsters, while leaving the dwarves unscathed. Attinstáinz then came to King Óin II in a dream in the form of a nameless dragon, and showed him the long perilous journey ahead. when the young king had awoken, a map lay by his side showing him the way to the Rathnir, where the dwarves would discover the Arkenstone, a gift from Attinstáinz. When the dwarves came into contact with the natives of the Ryzan peninsula and they told them of their religion, the dwarves instantly recognized their savior, Attinstáinz, father of earth and stone

Muhitan
Muhitan was the goddess of the oceans and trade, she was the patron deity of the Serene Republic of Nova Balreska. Muhitan gave protection to the refugees of Old Balreska and as such Nova Balreska is built in the sea to honour her.

Muhitan earned her reverance in 20 B.T.F after the sacking of Old Balreska and the flight east. Muhitan warned the Balreskans of the coming sacking, knowing of the many ships approaching the port town but in their hubris the Old Balreskans refused to close their port in fear of losing out on the wealth that the trade brings. This lead to the complete destruction of Old Balreska, a site since lost to time, and the flight of the Balreskans on their great ships. Muhitan guided the Balreskans to safety but only after days of storms to punish their insolence of denying a god. To attempt to atone for their sins, the Balreskans founded their new city, Nova Balreska, on the sea itself, placing it in the mercy of Muhitan before all others. Even today, Muhitan was said to patrol the waters around Nova Balreska in the form of dolphins, graceful but vicious, to survey her lands.

Adolebis
Adolebis was the god of fire and destruction, patron deity of the Theocracy of Eldia. He scorched the Great Forests of Northern Ryzan to create grazing lands for his subjects.

Ontum
Ontum was the god of the void and control, patron of the Autocracy of Vologda. He grants his power through a holy sword of which his chosen king rules with an iron fist as per Ontum's ruling.

Spurdo Spärde
Spurdo Spärde was a minor deity, also known as _Spurdo_Sparde_, was a god of winter and hunting, he governs the great lighthouse of Spurdo's Islands to guide ships to Nova Balreska as thanks to Muhitan and Caelus.

Spurdo Spärde hails from the southern winterlands in Sørligste where he watched over and blessed hunters before he got driven out by a mob of angry polar bears. Spurdo left for the winterlands of Sparwood to the north-vest of Sørligste, but soon left in terror. For there was a specter haunting the winterlands, the specter of communism. Spurdo was forced to flee into the sea to avoid being corrupted by the specter of communism gripping the land. It was then that Muhitan came to Spurdo's aid and guided him in the form a dolphin towards a small mountain on the sea where he could make his new home. Caelus also allowed his skies to drop snow on the tip of the mountain as a token of friendship and as a sign of acceptance of Spurdo's presence in the Ryzan lands. As thanks Spurdo built a lighthouse on the top of the island to guide ships to Nova Balreska.
