Verdis Elementum

Verdis Elementum is devoted to the worship and study of the five core elemental domains of life and the gods that rule over and reside within those domains. It is through study and worship that we may better understand the elements that make up the world around us and the gods that reign over them.

Origins

While Sir Atwin was exploring western Dwilight he came across many tomes and scrolls that contained information on the gods and elemental domains, the history and teachings of Verdis Elementum, and the history and information of ancient dwilight. These tomes and scrolls were written in a native language of Dwilight and thus the translation process is going slowly as there are only a few known people who can read and translate the language.

Beliefs

There are five core elemental domains that make up the existence of both our world and our lives. These elements are Spirit, Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth. Through the study of these elements we can gain insight into the workings of the world around us and how to use the elements to benefit our everyday lives. Through the worship of the gods who reign over and reside within these elemental domains, we gain insight into our own strengths, weaknesses, and desires thus gaining a better understanding of ourselves and how to improve our lives.

Most followers of Verdis Elementum focus their studies and worship to one god or gods from one elemental domain. This is mainly due to the amount of time and knowledge required to understand the basics of just one domain or god, let alone multiple gods and domains. There are those, however, who choose more than one, or all five domains to study and worship.

Gods and Elemental Domains

Each elemental domain has one god that resides over it, and many others that represent that domain. These five gods make up the Ak'tar. The Ak'tar is the ruling council of the gods, and they are responsible for overseeing both the actions of fellow gods as well as the actions of mortals. While it is possible for a god to directly interact with a mortal, so far no interaction has been heard of or recorded.
