The Path of the Gods

NOTE: This is an OOC Document until finalized.

The Path of the Gods is a Religious Sect of The Manifest Path based on the lost religion of Order of St. Iestyn. It has similar practices as the Manifest Path and shares much of the core beliefs with it, however as a descendent of the Order, it gives worship to Tyr and Zisa and continues the Order's core beliefs, rituals and history.

--History-- Officially, the last few worshippers of the Order joined the Manifest Path after the disappearance of the Grand Master Drystan Bellator and the destruction of the Grand Cathedrals of Giask and Askileon. The last priest of the Order, Fulco D`Este started talks with the Manifest Path's founder, Koli Bedwyr, whilst a vocal worshipper of the Gods started a debate and condemned the move by Koli, a Colonist and non Lurian, to start a new religion not based on the Worship of the Lurian Empire's Gods; Tyr and Zisa. Ramiel Avis at the time found it very much an abuse of the Dukeship because Askileon was for all intents and purposes the Lurian's Capital City whereas Koli was just a traveller. However both Fulco and Koli managed to eventually get Ramiel to see the wisdom of the Manifest Path, and so Ramiel agreed to the Manifest Path taking in the lost worshippers of the Gods. And so the Path of the Gods was given life and the traditional religion and values of the Lurian Empire was kept.
