Branch of the lost religion of bellutera called The Heralds of Obeah. we focus more on the veiled Goddess’ love for humanity. Hey glorious guiding light the protects and cares for all. This light takes its form as magic. Our goal is not to separate but to bring humanity together towards a brighter future.

The main rules of the religion are as follows
All are welcome but conflict is not.
- fight if you must but not in the church
Those who join and use Obeah or the church’s name against another will be removed.
Members will not favor other members over anyone else for promotions or likewise advancement.
We strive to bring together humanity and as such will preform charity in times of peace to the war torn regions and realms if needed.
All other non daimon worshipping religions are accepted as fellows to our church and will be treated with respect.
D’Espana’s suggestions ——-
What is this faith about? The church is a branch off of the Heralds of Obeah. It focuses more on the three aspects of Obeah and their meanings. The mother, Loves and guides her children, The protector, keep safe and offer security to all, and lastly The Deliverer, to bring peace and save all under her wondrous gaze.
What are its core tenets? Spread the word of Obeah, Offer neutrality on the war torn Eastern Continent, Humanitarian aid
What do they want to achieve? The revival and hopefully Decent of the Veiled Goddess. In her Decent she will bring peace to all and create paradise on earth.
What is the role of their prophet? As one of the last few Heralds Obeah has chosen her to revive her faith. Outside of the revival not much is different.
What is the average worshipper of this faith supposed to believe in key religion matters, such as life, death, the world, etc? The church believes that life is magic and magic is the domain of the goddess, death is just returning to the Goddess and is not to be feared but celebrated, after death one returns to the embrace of the goddess and to her realm. The world is tainted from interaction with the realm of the daimons and while it hasn’t reached the Eastern Continent many areas are ravaged by them. Obeah in her decent will cleanse the world and bring peace and prosperity to humanity.
Is there a God? Several? None? The church believes that there are many gods and all non daimon worshipping religions are accepted and welcome.
Are they absolute? What do they embody? Obeah is the goddess of magic and Secrecy and studying her power is what brought about magic.
Is it a religion that is rediscovered off old texts, revealed in a vision to the Prophet? The church came about after visions of the down fall heralds and Sacred Obia’Syela.
What is its take on feudalism? The church has taken an approach to separate itself from politics going so far as to say in the rules that no political advantage shall be given to other believers for simply being believers.
Do they have founding myths? Refer back to the Heralds.
Do gods of the faith, if any, actively interfere in the world? If not, what prevents them from doing so? Obeah’s influence is in the small things thru sages and unique items she gives her blessing on the eastern continent.
Are there any views on warriors being more worthy vs priests vs bureaucrats vs advies? The other way around? With the churches position on humanitarian aid and neutrality priests are considered the highest in terms of ranking amongst noble roles as they have given up arms to pursue the faiths vision other than that all are at the same level and all deserve respect commoner and noble.
Views on wizards sages and mechanic elements. The church views individuals such as sages and wizards as those who have perceived some of Obeah’s power and take great pride in their existence as it further proves her love of humanity. Monsters are animals mutated from the impurities brought by the daimons and must be purified for the betterment of themselves and the world. Rogues and bandits who harm others for personal gain are frowned upon in the church.

Serena sighs puzzled as she swings back and forth from the tree limb. This place feeling so familiar yet she knows she has never seen it. In the distance a grand city full of life and even from this distance she can hear the happy calls of the people in it. Looking around the only actually familiar thing she sees is the Symbol of the Heralds in its beautiful and deep rich blues and silver hanging from the walls. Thinking back to her training she remembers tell of a great city home to the church called Rines in all of its splendor. But she has never been there so where is this? Serena sits puzzled for a moment, “is… is this a dream? If it is why am I dreaming of somewhere I have never been?” As this thought leaves her lips a flash of blue blots out the city and just barely she can make out the word “gone…” not in a voice but a force, before she awakens with a start looking around the darkened room of her estate the blue curtains of her bed drawn closed seem to almost pulse before she rubs her eyes and everything is back to normal.

Serena stares in horror as the once beautiful city, the same she saw just yesterday happy and thriving, is engulfed in flames and pillaged. The once beautiful banners torn and tattered, wall broken down and the light of life gone. As Serena focuses her eyes on the destruction an odd feeling overcomes her as her view distorts and pulls away. Now looking down on a large landmass with scattered and varying colors of light a strong and bright blue in the south of the land fading but a small stream of blue faded but not gone streaming away from the dying light heading north. As she watched transfixed as days and nights, weeks then months go past. The lights slowly but surely fade fewer and fewer blue lights until they are all but gone dim almost dead. "W-what is this?" she thinks before recalling the last of the letters of news from the Vorn main house. "T-The fall and loss of faith in the goddess. But how? why am I seeing this what are these dreams." she thinks as the lights dim out low and hidden amongst the others now all but faded into the background. "What does this mean?" she cries in her head unable to speak before her vision is pulled further and the landmass shrinks and oceans grow. A new landmass appears and a small blue light blinks. This light is not the strongest seen in the dream but it is steady and strong. As Serena's vision pulls towards the light the landmass grows and while from a new perspective familiar landscapes appear one light becomes two. One light in Perdan City strong and growing stronger unyielding in its tenacity, The other near the mountains of Perdan Mines. Confused and afraid serena cries out "What do you want from me!?!" Silence is her only answer as her vision pulls her towards the smaller but unwavering light. Pulling ever closer until she sees it, Serena who should be lying in her bed asleep is instead standing eyes closed but appearing regal as her sleepwear is replaced with fine robes of blue and silver. "Lead..." the voice like force says clear and resolute. Serena snaps awake and looks around only to find herself still lying in her bed her clothes normal as she looks around. "lead who?..." Serena questions before she stands and sighs

Serena's eyes open on a familiar scene, she is back in her childhood home or rather the Vorn family's hidden estate. Serena wanders around the familiar forest before heading to the near by lake puzzled by the lack of others. "Why isn't anyone training?" she thinks to herself as she walks the familiar path and arriving at the lake. Before her she finds the answer, "Oh it's time for the reading... I didn't think it was that late, it's not even dark yet how odd." she puzzles as she listens to the stories from the homelands. Great tales of battles against the daimons and the founding of the Heralds as well as the Sacred Obia'Syela. "Ha ha I loved these stories growing up!" she giggles to herself as she takes her seat nobody around her noticing. But soon something changes the stories of old no longer being repeated instead the Head Mistress turns and looks towards Serena, "Aren't you a little old for these stories?" she asks stern but lovingly, a far cry from her normal attitude of reverence and seriousness that she always used when talking about the goddess. "W-w-what?" Serena exclaimed confused before noticing a blue tint in the old maidens eyes. "I asked are you not a bit old for these stories girl?" The head mistress questions a tinge of teasing in her voice. "A-ah yes I-I should head back haha" Serena says trying to escape the unusually motherly gaze of the head mistress. Serena heads away from the Lake and back into the untamed forest turned training ground, after several moments she reaches a clearing with another in it. "Hello!" Serena calls before approaching the person. A women dressed in the Vorn family's battle dress her eyes sharp but filled with a strong desire not to harm but protect. "Welcome young one I see you have come quite the long way this time." she says before removing her helmet and revealing Isabel. "Oh Lady Isabel I didn't know you would be here tonight." Serena stumbles out with a slight bow before hands reach out and gently stand her back up. "Now child there is no need for that" Isabel say kindly before gently toying with her necklace. "You see we now have a different standing you and I." Isabel says quietly almost regretfully her necklace glowing slightly blue. "W-what do you mean my lady. Everyone in the Vorn family knows of your deeds it's only because of you we can even be here! You made our home on this continent how can we have a different standing?!?" Serena panics confused and lost before she hears footsteps approach from behind her as another enters the clearing. "The standing has changed because while I may have helped us settle you shall be the one to lift not us but all to a higher purpose." Isabel states matter of factly before removing her necklace and putting it on Serena. Serena looks around confused as a third set of footsteps appear in the clearing along with an aura so powerful it makes Serena's knees go weak. Isabel helps Serena turn to look at the newcomers before walking to stand besides them. The old Maiden her eyes filled with motherly love, Isabel Vorn Dressed to fight but only longing to protect and lastly a women in robes wearing a veil who seems to take in all that is around her besides the other two. """ You have a great purpose""" the three say in unison as a halo of blue light appears behind them. """We know you did not ask for this but fear not for we will guide you.""" the three state, The veiled women turns to leave "I am the last and with me comes peace, you are more than you know. Hopefully by the time we meet again you will understand that." She states as she walks silently away. Isabel looks to Serena one last time "We will meet again soon and by then you will understand. Don't be afraid I will always be nearby." she says before giving Serena a hug and walking back into the forest. "I am the first but to much has already happened so we shall wait." She says giving before taking Serena to walk with her. "We believe in your strength and I know you will do well. So don't worry we will love you no matter what." she smiles as the world around Serena fades to black. "Learn..." the force says before Serena shoots up out of bed clutching her chest only to feel an odd weight there. As she looks down she see a necklaces with bear teeth and claws. "W-what is happening to me" she cries...
