Hivamism

Hivamism is a religion in Rodinnbrok. Its primary goddess is Hevus (more commonly known as "The Queen"), though the four Rulers are worshipped more often.

History
Hivamism was founded by the Hivam I, also known as the first Hive Knight, after he had gotten a vision from an unknown source about all that had happened from the birth of this universe up until the present. He wrote the first and second chapter of the book of Hivam, a copy of the first currently kept in the Library of Matis. Currently, a temple and a new Hive of Fevu are in the making, though it will take at least a couple of months 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. "I almost drank it once." Hivam I says. "There wasn't any ritual or anything. The Rulers, the Duke, maybe even the Queen would have been so angry."

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 was 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 would be 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. He was unfortunately murdered by an unknown killer.

The Queen
Hivamists believe that the Queen is the current mightiest being of all, only next to the late King. Not much is known about her, exept that she was also present during the sculpturing competition and that she absorbed the power of the King after he died. 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. He also created the four Rulers for the protection of earth, and the Kingstar to honour the late King.

The Kingstar
The Kingstar is a small, very dense star that could easily be held by a human or a hiveling. It grants the power of the stars to the wielder.

The Earl
The Earl is one of four Rulers, and the god of fire and day and night. He lives on the sun "Sol", and his real name "Igneram" may not be spoken unless dire help is needed. He created the Shield of Flame and Frost in order to help humanity.

The Shield of Flame and Frost
The Shield of Flame and Frost is a shield which freezes anyone who attacks the wielder and sets anyone ablaze who the wielder attacks. It was in the property of the kingdom of Favu, but since it fell the Shield was lost and it hasn't been seen since.

The Count
The Count is one of the four Rulers, and the god of the weather and the water. He lives on the moon "Luna", and his real name "Nubesam" may not be spoken unless dire help is needed. He created the Trident of Water and Weather in order to help humanity.

The Trident of Water and Weather
The Trident of Water and Weather is a trident which, when thrown, turns the weather against the target. The target may freeze, drown or get struck by lightning. It was once in the property of the kingdom of Favu, but since it fell the Trident was lost and it hasn't been seen since.

The Burgrave
The Burgrave is one of the four rulers, and the goddess of the sky and the ground. She lives in the void "Inan", and her real name "Humusam" may not be spoken unless dire help is needed. She created the Wings of Impact in order to help humanity.

The Wings of Impact
The Wings of Impact are a pair of wings which not only grant the wearer the power of flight, but wherever the user lands an impact in the ground is created which damages nearby people and might even create a crater in the ground. It was once in the property of the kingdom of Favu, but since it fell the Wings were lost and weren't seen since.

The Castellan
The Castellan is one of the four Rulers. What exactly she is a goddess of is unknown, but it's assumed that she is the goddess of mind and the emotions. Where she currently lives is unknown, though it's likely in Eldham. Her real name "Favuvam" may not be spoken unless dire help is needed. She was the queen of the kingdom of Favu and created the Crown of Sickness in order to help humanity.

The kingdom of Favu
The kingdom of Favu was a kingdom of hivelings many centuries ago. It owned the Kingstar, the Shield of Flame and Frost, the Trident of Water and Weather, the Wings of Impact and the Crown of Sickness. The entire population lived in a giant hive, namely the Hive of Favu. It fell after a group of rebels betrayed the Castellan, and she left. There is nothing left of the Kingdom now.

The Crown of Sickness
The Crown of Sickness is a crown which gives anyone who the wearer desires a random effect like poison, blindness or nausea. It was once in the property of the kingdom of Favu, but since it fell the Crown was lost and wasn't seen since.

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 and should be honored.

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 has written the first and second chapter of the Book of the Hivam, which contains his vision written down in detail. He is planning the construction of a temple where sacrifices can be made and a second Hive of Fevu were people and human-bee hybrids can live.
