Church of the Two Lôdiem

The Church of the Two Lôdiem is a polytheistic religion founded by the Prophet Potiauara Apisamus, on the Elegatî Tribe, nowadays Elesgate. The religion was practically extinct when the Nelondian settlers arrived on the swamp, because most native elegatîans died because of foreign diseases or were forced to convert to Draconism.

The Church was revived by the Prophet Koala Apisamus after he saw and talked with the Two Lôdiem in a vision.

Two Lôdiem
The Church of the Two Lôdiem believes in two gods, those being:

-Lôdi Eilâtome, the god-universe.

Lôdi Eilâtome is the god-universe of the Two Lôdiem church. That means that he is the universe itself, existing before everything else was created. Lôdi Eilâtome created Lâdi Alaechma, the second goddess worshipped by the religion. The ancient Lôdiemi used to perform rituals every night to worship The Lôdi, for they believed that night is the moment where Eilâtome is the closest to them. Nowadays, the Lôdiemi only perform this ritual at the first night of every year.

-Lâdi Alaechma, the goddess of creation.

Lâdi Alaechma is the goddess that created the planets and all of the living beings. It is said that Lôdi Eilâtome created her using a 10 point star to create her body. The star is now present on the Church's flag as a symbol of the perfection of creation. The worship of Alaechma practiced by the Lôdiemi is done at the middle of the 5th month of the Elegatîan calendar, and all the members of the church put offerings on three little boats made out of wood, and throw them on the lakes.

Messengers and Guardians
The Church of the Two Lôdiem believes that every living being on the planet, small and big, are messengers of the Two Lôdiem and of their perfect creation. For that reason, they treat the living beings with complete respect, only killing an animal if they need to eat. The most revered messengers of the Church are the bees, for they represent the perfect stability in nature.

There are also the guardians, the protectors of the realms, those are:

Ei-Tatoleor, Guardian of the Ei-Pachoter Realm and protector of the mystical creatures.

Ei-Kitina. Guardian of the Ei-Lachoter Realm and protector of the animals.

Ei-Potoka, the true manifestation of the evil of human mind, false Guardian of the Ei-Shachater. He became the false guardian after murdering Ei-Lakatar.

Realms
The church believes in the existence of 3 realms, those being:

Ei-Pachoter
The Ei-Pachoter realm is where the souls of the deceased good Lôdiemi goes to rest for all eternity, it is considered to be the paradise of the Lôdiemi. The Ei-Pachoter is created depending on what the Lôdiemi loves the most, but the realm also has a main hall, where all the souls can interact with eachother. The main hall is also where the mystical creatures roam free and where the gate to the Ei-Lachoter realm is located.

Ei-Lachoter
The Ei-Lachoter realm is where the stars, planets, and living beings reside. It was the the first realm to ever exist and is the middle one. The Ei-Lachoter is considered to be a test for the living beings to prove their value and go to Ei-Pachoter or Ei-Shachater when they die.

Ei-Shachater
The Ei-Shachater realm is where the evil souls go to be punished for their sins. It was the place of the Guardians War, where its true guardian, Ei-Lakatar, was murdered by the evil manifestation of the human mind, Ei-Potoka.
