Hivamism

Hivamism is a religion in Rodinnbrok. Its primary god is Haeif (more commonly known as "The King").

History
Hivamism was founded by the Hivam I, also known as the first Hive Knight, after he had gotten a vision from the Duke about a coming unknown threat. He wrote the first chapter of the book of Hivam, with a second chapter being written. Currently, a temple is in the making, though it will take a while before completion.

Main beliefs and practices
Hivamists believe that bees are the creatures most closely related to the gods, namely the King, the Queen and the Duke. Thus, they must not be hurt, enslaved or in any other way abused. "Honey may be farmed, but any (camp)fires under the hive/nest may only be on when obtaining the honey(comb). It must be extinquished as soon as the honey(comb) is harvested. The hive/nest must be in open air, and the bees must be allowed to roam freely. When the bees get aggravated, run away and don't let any of them sting you." -Hivam I

Honey is a holy liquid and may only be drunk during prayers, sacrifices, and other holy rituals. This is because Hivamists believe that this liquid grants the drinker a greater connection to the gods. However when drunk casually, the gods would punish the drinker.

Creation
Hivamists believe that the universe once appeared as a hexagon made out of honeycomb filled with honey. "In the Hexagon, Haeif lived. He ate the honey and his powers grew to a godlike status. Haeif became the King of the Hexagon. He created Hevus, who became the Queen. They created galaxies and birthed the Gegons, who became the Dukes of galaxies. The Gegons birthed Telgs who inhabited stars. Telgs were arrogant and prideful so they begged the King to give them something special for their solar system. The King held a sculpturing competition, and the winner would get something special. Zol, the Telg of our solar system built the Man and the Woman, and Proxim, another Telg, built a statue slightly resembling the King. Zol won the competition, so Proxim got mad and brought his statue to life (which is called Vesporl) who killed Proxim and persuaded half of all Telgs to go against the will of the King, who imprisoned the entire group of Vesporl followers, including Vesporl himself. The prize was life on a planet, and earth became the green planet we all know and love." -Hivam I

The King
Hivamists believe that the King is the mightiest being of all, holding the power to create and destroy. His real name, "Haeif", may never be spoken aloud exept by the current Hive Knight when an apocalyptic event is taking place and the King is the only one who can help. The King created the Queen and the Gegons. He also held the infamous sculpturing competition that resulted in the creation of life and evil.

The Queen
Hivamists believe that the Queen is the second mightiest being of all, only next to the King. Not much is known about her, exept that she was also present during the sculpturing competition. Her real name "Hevus" may also never be spoken except by a Hive Knight during an apocalyptic event.

The Duke
The Duke is the ruler of this galaxy, and one of the third most powerful beings in the universe (third only to the King and Queen), the Gegons, the children of the King and Queen. After he noticed that the Telgs were jealous of Zol because of planet Earth and started fighting each other for it, the Duke decided to kill all of the Milky Way's Telgs, which were his children. This was to protect his galaxy and planet Earth, which he is secretly somewhat proud of. His real name "Stenorit" must never be spoken except when a Hive Knight suspects that an apocalyptic event will take place.

Zol
Zol was the last Telg to ever rule our solar system, the system of Sol. Like many Telgs, she was extremely powerful. For the sculpturing competition she created giant statues of a man and a woman, which won her the contest. Thus, she was partially responsible for the creation of mankind and all life on Earth.

Proxim
Proxim was the last Telg to ever rule the system of Alpha Centauri. For the sculpturing contest he created Vesporl, which was brought to life after Proxim became enraged due to losing. Proxim was killed directly after that by Vesporl.

Vesporl
Vesporl was the creation of Proxim, and the god of hatred, anger and revenge. After he was created, he killed Proxim, persuaded half of all Telgs to join him and go against the will of the King (the rogue Telgs are known as the Congregation of Vesporl) and the King imprisoned the Congregation and froze Vesporl in solid honey. He has not been seen since.

Hivam I
Hivam I is the first Hive Knight, creating the religion of Hivamism after he got a vision from an unknown source telling him all that had happened before and during the dawn of mankind. He is currently in the process of writing the second chapter of the Book of the King, which contains his vision written down in detail. He is planning the construction of a temple where sacrifices can be made and a hive were people and human-bee hybrids can live.
