Religion and the Gods

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 32 views Contributors

As within all nations, a citizen’s religious leanings are their own to consider. However, Morvalin society does favour certain Gods, with particular leanings towards three who feature most in their day to day life.

The Reaper

A life well-lived deserves an ending well-met. Everything will end, of course – that is the way of life, and what gives it meaning. A Morvalin hopes to go to the Reaper’s embrace with a long set of stories, deeds and memories, and it is not unheard of for a person to dress up as the Reaper for the Night of Remembrance festival, mingling among both the living and the dead – a reminder for the living, and a caretaker for the dead.

The Muse

Morvalis is nothing if not home to crafts of all kinds. For a society that concerns itself with creating beautiful things in literally all forms and fashions, a prayer to the Muse is as natural as waking up and thinking ‘What shall I make today?’ It is not unheard of for a person without inspiration to say that the Muse has turned their back on them, or to dedicate some great work to the Muse.

The Scholar

Likewise, freed from the drudgery of many chores by their undead workforce, Morvalins have plenty of time for learning. For Morvalis, the Scholar often walks hand-in-hand with the Muse, each one a part of the same beautiful artwork, delicate poem, theatrical performance, perfectly-brewed coffee, and so on. Without learning, one cannot perfect one’s skills.

Ceremonies

Dedicating something to the Muse or the Scholar is seen as a ceremony in and of itself – at the same time a vital part of any process of creation and an act of religious significance. In this way, there are no formalised rituals within Morvalis for either the Muse or the Scholar – it is down to the creator to decide how much their creation is an offering or has ceremonial value. The Reaper is integral to their funerary rites, and the Night of Remembrance.
