Kithairien: Hierarchy: Difference between revisions

There are a few records of supposed wild men living in the more dangerous regions of [[Layonara]] who are actually solitary priests of Kithairien. They do not appear as lithe elvish followers, instead these solitary priests are seen as shaggy, unshaven illdressed ruffians.

It is unknown exactly, even to his own people, how Kithairien became a god. Though they were delighted at his ascension and have widely varying legends, they have no explanation. He worked most of his life to establish what he called the old ways for his people. His establishment of the wild elf tribes was an effort to bring the race back to what it was supposed to be in his eyes. He was opposed by many in his mortal life, but a [[slow]] trickle of elves began to hear and agree with his message. His life's work resulted in the forming of a large tribe of elves seeking out these old ways. In those days it is said that he called no one higher or lower then himself, that all were brother, sister, kin. It is due to this that his devout consider themselves equal to the rest of their people. While the priests of the Falcon are afforded respect, they never demand better status. Since it was started before the splintering of the first tribe, this tradition is one of the few that remains constant amongst the tribes. When inhibitions are frowned upon, and personal freedom made a tenet of religion, many disagreements occur. However, because of their belief system, they simply splinter and move to new areas rather then dissolving into civil war or other such tragedies. The original tribe, called Runner's Children, led the way for many segments to eventually stretch out and explore many of the continents. Though these elves left the continent of [[Voltrex]], after the [[destruction]] of their first, last, and only city, they are still called kin and often referred to as cousins.
