Vetus De Deorum

Vetus De Deorum is a religious faith based on the existence of 2 gods who are the creators of the realms. Ancient texts have stated their names, purposes and explanations for the history of the world. Crestus, god of creation, life, luck and strength, is responsible for the creation of the overworld or Eldham and all the beings who inhabit it: cows, pigs, sheep, and humans. Coldir, god of destruction, death, misfortune, and mischief, is Crestus’s brother and creator of the hellish realm known as the Nether. Coldir is responsible for contorting Crestus's creations, creating monsters that are known now only in legend, undead soldiers made from both man, animal, and plant alike.

Through dark magic Coldir created an army to match his brother's followers. Angered at the sight of what his brother had done to his creations, Crestus fought Coldir for hundreds of years. Eventually Crestus was victorious and imprisoned Coldir in the farthest reaches of the end dimension. The End being a strange place, seemingly unreachable by man, populated by tall dark figures capable of teleportation and incredible strength, and filled with small floating islands of stone and purple thin tree like vegetation.

After the war, man had seemingly wiped out what was left of Coldirs army of demons and monsters, those who were leaders of the factions who helped win the war established a pact between nations, that they would work together to prevent conflicts and keep peace as a normality. A few years would go by as leaders in the group stepped down and were replaced by their heirs, some of which had very different ideals than their predecessors and broke away from the pact, as humanity began to heal itself and rebuild, it soon began to tear itself apart. Some of the new leaders broke away from the pact and The world fell into opposing factions of people who all had different beliefs, Ideologies, and cultures. Over many years These nations fought for control over resources, religion, and control over contents and even the entire world, many would fall and others would arise. Eventually the pact was completely dissolved and the knowledge of Crestus and Coldir fell into legend and eventually was all but forgotten as less and less people know of the shrines and temples overtaken by nature and reduced to rubble over time. Now very few know of this old faith, and even fewer practice it.
