Masuul Religion

Religion

Masuul and Fui Ley share this religion.

The gods live on the tip of the highest mountaintop in Fui Ley, Heena. This is the highest point on the Qiswa Continent.

There are four gods of the world:

  • The Harvester
  • The One who Sows
  • The Lucky
  • The Worker

Although their names mainly respond to agricultural functions, they each have a very broad meaning.

The Harvester

The prime god, the highest of the highest, and the most important virtue; the one who sees a chance and takes it, and the one who is patient, knowing that their work will come to fruition. He is at the same time knowing when to leap and when to hold, and keeping an eye out for better opportunities than presented in the present. He is the needed change and seeing what needs changing. He is worshipped the most during Riin, the prime time for most harvesting.


The One who Sows

The One who Sows, or the Great Father, is both the biological father of the Harvester and of the earth itself. He is the bright idea, the beginning of the day, the first step, and motivation. The Great Father is mainly worshipped in Lockiz and Tholes, from the solstice and throughout the seedtime and flowering months, although that is only when it comes to farming. His other virtues are worshipped year-round just the same.


The Lucky

The Lucky is the name of uncertainty. He is both the rain that makes the ground fertile, the lightning bolt that strikes a tree and kills it, the silver coin discovered on a dirt road, a sudden chance making itself available, and whatever outcome may come of it. He is worshipped year-round more consistently than the other gods as you never know when luck, or misfortune, may strike. Many pray to him in chaotic times, but bedtime prayers also include him, mainly for him to watch over an individual's possessions or loved ones.


The Worker

The Worker is the least worshipped, not because he is unloved, but rather because he is the known determinant. He is the need to wake up and go to work, he is the slowness of the seeds' growth, the seasons' changing, and the ageing of people, and consequently also the death of everything. He is mainly mentioned in prayers when things get tough, chaotic, and uncertainty takes over. He is the natural order of things, and thus in peaceful times, he is not disregarded but rather loved for being so common that he fades into the background of everyday life.


The gods living on the mountaintop makes mountains an attractive place to live for many, as it brings them closer to the gods. Many mountain dwarves and goliaths have made their homes in the mountains, however, the weather makes it impossible to live too close to the Heena point, though many travel to the shrine that stands there when in need of otherworldly assistance.

Both Fui Ley and Masuul follow this religion, and even though the Heena point technically lies in Fui Ley, both nations agree that nobody ever could own the home of the gods, and thus Heena point is widely considered a holy place under no ruler but the gods themselves.
