Nomudou

The Way of the Spirits, or also known as The Way of the Drink by the common folk.

(A WORK IN PROGRESS)

Through journeys of self-discovery as well as consulting wizened sages in the desert, the truth of the spirits has been revealed.

Foundation

Several nobles of the Grand Duchy of Fissoa began experiencing strange visions after imbibing strong alcohol. At first they believed that these were merely the effects of the drink. After some time, the images that saw during these periods became clearer and seemed to reflect either the past, present, or future.

Earl Samuel Quasath and Countess Silesia Wentwood discussed these visions that they both experienced and decided that more knowledge was needed to interpret them. Countess Silesia make a perilous journey into the depths of the Palm Sea in search of the famous Wizard of the Palm Sea.

After many days of searching, she found the Wizard who eventually explained that the visions that some had been experiencing were the Gods, or Spirits, attempting to communicate with mortals. The Wizard said that these were visions often not clear as to the intent of the Spirits, but did indicated what they wished the mortal to do provided they were interpreted correctly. According to the Wizard the Spirits had been trying to communicate with mortals for many generations but few had taken their visions seriously. Most people dismissed them as an effect of too much drink.

With this knowledge at hand, Silesia returned to Fissoa where she shared this knowledge with others of similar thought.

Samuel Quasath listened to what Silesia said, confirming his own thoughts and whispers of the spirits in his ears. His path was then set and the spirits guided him to a decision to create a new church based on an old idea. Wisdom from the old spirits to guide the new lands.

Beliefs

Nomudou believes in self-confidence and listening to wise counsel. The spirits are wise, a power beyond age and earthly bonds. The spirits are guides. They can take you anywhere. Enjoy life to the fullest. A full life does not need to be balanced, although balance can bring fulfillment. War is a necessary evil, but do not go searching for it. There is good and evil in the world, and they both drink. Self-control can be abandoned and regained, to achieve fullness.
