[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 2955852, member: 40749"] [b]Asturian religious Lore[/b] This is the basic belief of the Asturian religion, I'll have dogma, and other aspects of the clergy up soon. [B]Legend of the Battle of Good and Evil, the advent of Man, and the Day of Darkness[/B] Know ye that long before the present age, the world was bathed in light, and that light was love, and the Deva called the light Astur. The earth was filled with exceeding beauty; honey and milk issued from its secret founts. Then Darkness also issued its seed. A tempter, devourer of souls, the bane of Light, and this darkness was called Zokun. There were those of the Deva who named the Darkness god, and glutted in desire and lust, thence blotting the light from their eyes. And they were not satisfied that the light should anoint the earth, so that those who sided with the light moved to oppose them. Their war was a fire consuming the earth, and the skies hung thick with fat and bone. This man called the Battle of Good and Evil. Misery joined in equal ruin for six days and seven nights, and on the seventh day Darkness and Light sought a reckoning. The hand of Light gripped its blade, great and terrible; and the cloak of Darkness was as its shield. Thus were they armed for war. True struck the blade of Light, and the Darkness was cleaved and was not. Then did the blade pierce even the earth. The seas boiled and were scabrous and long the earth wept. Even so was the earth riven, dividing the lands ever more. The blood of the Darkness fell to earth; where it hit the land were the People of Darkness formed. Those Deva who had named Darkness god became the Serpent Naga, and they did hide their faces from heaven. Where the blood of Light met the tears of the earth, the People of Light were born. Content in its work, the Light blessed the earth, and all was made well. And then, wounded, the Light fell in a heavy slumber. “The Light will burn in our hearts and will not expire.” This man swore, for the god of light shall return to claim the earth. And the sword of light, called the Divine Sword, came to rest with the Legion of Darkness in remembrance of their betrayal. And there was Peace. Yet after this, a moon was hung in the heavens, its face gazing balefully downward upon the earth. It was an ill omen, swollen heavy with foreboding and dread, and it was said that Darkness yet had power. The Deva who remained true to Astur moved to the sky to bring Light and Hope to men where Cloak of Darkness rose above the earth, and Eye of Darkness gazed down on men. And now the souls of men were sifted and tried by the Darkness as it sought to bring about the day of its return. This man called the Day of Darkness, for the light will depart and the dead shall rise to the throne of judgement. Know ye that this is the Last Judgement, when all will be weighed and found lacking, and all brought to ruin. The works of man will be brought low; the Darkness will set naught all of man’s labours in preparation for its terrible rebirth. Know ye that Zokun is yet at the door. Gird yourselves with light, for our purpose is one: this must not come to pass. [/QUOTE]
