| Far over the sea to the west is the home continent of the human civilization that now populates most of the great central valley of Anor. They share their home continent with a civilization of Hobgoblins and Halflings. Small populations of Elves also exist. Along with the main 12 deities they worship a variety of lesser gods. Some of which have made it to the northern kingdoms, some have not.
The Western Continent of Aulund (Ancient Western Common for Old-Land, or Our-Land depending on the translator) contains cities dozens of times larger than anything on the eastern continent of Anor, the military might of Aulund is staggering if the kingdoms could ever be united in common cause. However they are mostly isolated, aside form the hofflan colonies. The great leaders of the past who colonized Anor no longer exist, except in mountains and monuments of stone. | |

| Subject: The Twin Sister's Mon Jul 27, 2015 3:09 am | |
| Name: The Twin Sisters: True names are unknown to mortals. For to know their names it is said is to have control over their domains.
Titles: Fate, Time (Respectively)
Portfolio: Destiny, Divination and Change. (collectively)
Typical Worshipers, Diviners, Madmen and Prophets.
Typical Worshiper Alignment; True Neutral, though any is possible.
Favored Weapon: Dagger
Legend: The Sisters are mysterious. not much is known about them. They are known to be powerful however. Though not part of the 12 some say they predate them. Madmen whisper in the dark that they are not part of the 12 only because they do not wish it.
All that is known is there was once a conflict, Some-say it was the war of the gods, others say it was during the creation of the world, others still claim it was the summoning of Donar and Desir, and a few claim it was the banishing of the Elemental Tyrants. No body is really sure, but there WAS once a conflict. The sister known as Fate believed things could not be changed, and the sister known as time believe they could be. With enough knowledge, enough forewarning, enough manipulation things could be changed.
Nobody knows who won that argument, but the sister's have been at odds ever since. Though at odds they are still worshiped as a duo. Their conflicting ideas balancing into a strange sort of neutral as they guide their prophets, clerics and heroes along their way.
Church: Small temples exist to the sister's on the Western Continent. Beyond that their worship exists all over but it is unorganized. Sometimes shrines to them are placed in other churches as gods of strategy give them homage for their knowledge, gods of harvest for their timing, gods of love for their control of fate. But otherwise worship is unorganized.
Spell Preparation Rituals. There are no known rituals, but divinations are often cast immediately after preparation to aid one through out the day.
Heresies The Greatest heresy in the worship of the twin sister's is the belief in a third sister known only as Change. Yet the older and wiser the follower of the sister's the more likely they seem to fall to this Heresy.
