Eretzism/Avatar Contact
Contact has been made
After the village was wiped out, screndt2 was approached by a small child by the name of Ciriel when he returned to Fheuvenem after the lootings. Ciriel told him of a promise she made to her mother before her mother was dragged away by the Old Grehk forces. This promise was to have both herself and screndt2 say Kahl'a for the dead of the village. He agreed and was led to the small temple in a state of disrepair. He watched this small child in prayer and the strength she seemingly got from her faith in the aftermath of the destruction of her village.
After much time with Ciriel in the temple and reading old tomes, screndt2 realized that this was his calling. He returned to Fheuvenem to finish some tasks there before becoming a priest not only in action, but in name as well. He was there greeted by Ciriel. She turned out to not be a small child, but an avatar of the Forest and she told him he was worthy of becoming its next leader to once again spread Eretzism across the land.
First contact in Ulallo!
A priest of Eretzism, Detinu Detinu, had just finished an 8 hour preaching in the rural areas of Ulallo when welcomed into a peasant family's cabin, he fainted, his body dropped to the floor. The peasant ran to aid him but a bright light coming from Detinu's hand blinded her. The light seemed to gently move Detinu outside and carried him to the edge of the lake. There he sat, cross legged, hands stretched out forward concentrating on the water. No one could distract him. Not even the strongest men could move him. His body seemed to weigh as much as the heaviest stone.
For five days Detinu sat, motionless, not breathing. At the time of the highest sun on the sixth day, he was flung backwards around ten paces, where he landed on his feet, unstartled. A wide smile blessed his face. Immediately, he told of a young male who showed him beautiful lakes, vast seas, delicate ponds, puddles bursting with life. The young male called himself Laceus and described himself as a protector of the water, an Avatar of the precious liquid that holds life together, a guide for Detinu.
The Priest explained that while he may have been gone for 5 days, he had actually spent over 3 months travelling with Laceus, learning, observing, questioning. Laceus would not reveal all that Detinu wanted to know. However, he did state that Mother Nature is the most powerful force in this world. No army can defeat Her, no one can stop Her, and She can defeat all. He shared that by allowing Mother Nature to prosper, all the evil in the world would be eliminated. However, as people of this world, it is our duty to protect Her. Those who damage Her must be stopped. He said that he was happy the view of Qvraggism had been changed to evil as members of that religion continually cause harm to Mother Nature and stressed that whatever measures needed to stop those who harm her, should be taken.
