Mythology and religion
Apathy is probably the best word that describes the nearly non-existent relationship that Coronians have with the known deities. The most prominent of all religious groups in Corone are probably the Clerics of Draconus that have a temple in every larger town on the majestic island. They offer their services to the common folk, preaching of their Dragon Lord, but most of their words fall on deaf ears. Some say that’s mostly because the very nature of Draconus whose mannerism is known to be depicted with a rather slow reaction time. This is probably the reason why the clerics accepted a handful of demi-gods as well, most of them drawing roots from the tribal worshiping back in the Age of Commencement, making the religion somewhat polytheistic. Three of these half-deities are most common amidst the common folk.
Wyron – The deity of harvest, mostly worshiped in the Yarborough county, but it is not rare that people in Radasanthia are caught with an idol of this deity in their homes. Usually depicted as a reaper with the head of a bull and a tail of a dragon. By his blessing the crops grow and the trees bear fruit.
Am’aleh – The deity of the sea, worshiped in most of the coastal areas, especially in the Tylmerande area where the seashell crops supposedly rise and fall by the desire of this deity. Am’aleh is also the idol to which most of the sailors tell their prayers if facing a tremendous storm, and to which most fishermen thank for their catch. Though gender of this deity is unknown as of yet, it is mostly described as a creature with a lizard’s head and the tail of a tail of a fish, holding a pitcher of water.
Trisgen – A demi-god of strife and war. Most soldiers of the Royal Armed Forces have a minute idol of this god around their neck just to stay on the safe side of this deity. It is said that when the humans and the elves rode against the massive force of the demons, Trisgen rode with them, wreaking havoc amidst the demon lines. While there was an unknown hero during that strife, it was never confirmed that it was Trisgen himself. The figure of Trisgen mostly resembles a gallant warrior, mounted on a back of a winged lion, holding a hammer or an axe.
These three are the most known, but by no means the only ones that can be heard throughout Corone. It is said that there is a god in Corone for pretty much anything and that is the thing that angers the Y’edda Druids the most.
Though the druids remain hidden in Condordia, mostly around the town of Ruild, both the druids and the fabled town are ever elusive to the outsiders. It is suspected that this town stands on the back of something known as the Rootwalker, but nobody got more information about this to make it anything more then a rumor. Their enmity towards the clerics is not an open one, but if a wandering druid meets a Cleric of Draconus, there is a good chance he would give him a piece of his mind. The druids think of the polytheism as heresy and they remain loyal to Y’edda despite the fact that “The Rogue” gives them little in means of presence and blessing.
