The Order of the Elders
The Order of the Elders is devoted to the englightenment of all men, ensuring the salvation of their souls and granting them access to Asgard; the heavenly city in which Odin, the Father of All, resides. Referred to as the Order, the worship of the Elder Gods is based out of Nighthelm where the blessed truth is accepted and endorsed as the State religion.
The Elder Gods
The worship and knowledge of the Elders is open to all. As is proclaimed in the entrance of every temple of the Elders, whether it be large or small. The five Elder Gods of the Ancient Texts are given here.
All-seeing Odin, Father of all - Wisest of the Elders, he rules over all of Asgard.
Thor, Lord of the Skies - Powerful Thor commands both the anger of the worst thunderstorms, and the quiet mourning of the soft rain or snow present at a warrior's funeral. Travellers also pray to the Lord of Lightning when they wish for good skies during their journey.
Hildr, Mistress of Battle - Commanding the best and worst upon the battlefield, Hildr is the lady warriors pray to when blade meets blade, when their courage is shaken and their sword arm grows heavy from swinging. Lending strength, as well as guarding those she favors, the Lady of Blood dances in the flash of light from blade and shield.
The Dark Prince Loki Lietongue - Planning and scheming, the master of shadows and inky darkness, Loki is the patron of thieves and assassins, though anyone doing black business might whisper his name. What he offers should not be trusted however, for the Black God turns the best of luck to the worst, caring naught for who gets trapped by the turn.
Hel - Guardian of the Underworld, Hel ensures the souls within do not escape to find new life until they have paid for the black Sin tainting their soul. Eternity awaits those who pass into the pitch-black of the Underworld, their memories of dark fear the only company - other than the terrified shrieks of others lost in the darkness.
Founding of the Order
The Order was founded by twice King-elect of Nighthelm, the glorious prophet Thraymn. He is closest to Odin, and wisest amongst the High Clergy.
Religious Texts of the Order
The Ancient texts of the Elders have been painstakingly translated by the Monks and members of the Order so that the words of Wisdom and Truth may be spread to the common man and enlighten him.
Currently the Library contains all the translated texts on the Elder Gods.
