Order of Sol

The Order of Sol is a religion in the World of Eldham, the Order is based around the worship of the single deity, Sol.

History
The religion was founded by the general of an army known as LitralPoop who, as told by the Book of the Forge, was said to have seen the great lord Sol appear to him atop a mountain above the burning city of Sodalis. The great Sol told General LitralPoop about the creation of the world and presented him with a book written by the ancient people of Eldham. He also told the General of an ancient city that was holy to Sol, where the old people had lived. He told the general that the city had crumbled away over the centuries and the the land would have to be rebuilt. Sol had the perfect vision of this land and he named it The Promised Land, promising that it would rise again and his people would live on through a new generation. After Sol disappeared, LitralPoop came down from the mountain and told his army of Sol and what he had told him, forming the beginnings of The Order of Sol.

Religious Subdivisions
There are some nations and cities which follow religions that are considered subdivisions of The Order of Sol. These subdivisions are groups of people that respect the overarching ideas of the order but prefer to focus on particular aspects, concepts and/or traditions from the main religion. These include:


 * Elebiomism - a religion focusing on the elemental and biome gods. These gods are children of the Elder Dragons and are sometimes known as the second generation of elementals, due to being formed from the four primal aspects of the universe that resided within their elemental predecessors. Elebiomism was first discovered when 2chainz, the founder of Elebiomism, met with the great Sol in Alzaria. They found out that the people of Elebiomism had been worshiping close relatives of Sol and 2chainz came to realize how much more there was to the world. From that day on, Elebiomism was considered a religious subdivision of The Order of Sol.
