Din
Din is very different from Grevedin or the Goddess. The dwarves are the only ones who practice this religion. Each Clann, or family, of Dwarves has it's own protector. They work together on a council represented in Byd by the War King's council. They each have their own customs for their god or goddess.
Clann Name:
Elsker Stolthet Styrke Hellig Modige Dyktig Nyttige |
God:
Eliskert- love Stolthetiso- pride Styk- strength Helligra- (female) holy Modige- (female) brave Dykt- skilled Nytt- useful |
Priestesses of the Titan's Goblet
This religion is mentioned in book two, and in my side story The Curse of Lor'Ada. The Priestesses, women with extraordinary abilities and senses, guard the Goblet fiercely. It is only practiced in Lor'Ada.
