 ==== Pantheon ====
-//See Also: [[lore:Five Gods Pantheon]]//
 [[lore:Destura]], [[lore:Besello]], [[lore:Morvita]], [[lore:Cieterra]], and [[lore:Vitilità]] are equals within the pantheon of the //Five Gods//; although they may be more or less important to the lives of their followers during their life. Destura is said to bless a child during its first steps while Vitilità is spoken of repeatedly as young adults leave the home of their parents.
+Outside of the pantheon each of the divine imbue mortal heroes upon this world. These [[#Eroe]] are always selected in pairs, but unlike the clergy are not often paired. Each eroe is the pure representation of their divine and serves to further their goals - even if that brings them into conflict with each other.

 ==== Creation ====
-All of creation is both male and female. The world was born in a clash of violence and rage, pain and sorrow. The five gods game into this world as pairs - just as men and women are natural pairs. While the world would survive if either of them die it would be a far more shallow place. The gods and goddesses are meant to comfort and support each other just as man and woman.

 From the love of the divine the world was showered with life. Existing in so many different forms several lifetimes would pass before even a single couple could decipher them all.

 The clergy of the //Five Gods// relies on very information practices and liturgy. This occasionally gives rise to splinters within the Five Gods. The Ministri accept such an event not as a problem, but instead a chance to learn the unexpected.
+Conflict have also arisen internally. Often clergy and laity will rally around the local eroe and when different eroe come into conflict the followers may splinter. To the divine this is simply the natural order. Their own divinity is both supportive and in conflict and so should their eroe.
 ==== Other Religions ====
-With a weak central authority it is up to each pair to decipher how to react to other religions - especially thoe whose doctrine oppossed the Five Gods.

 ==== Magic ====
-Magic is alive as a lesser heartbeat to that of the world. A shadow existence the lives hidden from the sun. There is no prohibition against using magic of nearly any means, except for the rejection of your peers. This "shaming" can be powerful enough to change the course of even the most stubborn.
+Magic is alive as a lesser heartbeat to that of the world. Those who turn from the divine to embrace this lesser heartbeat are not considered lost or evil by the religious. Instead they are simply people choosing for themselves a lesser path. Magic is not force for destruction or evil, but men have been known to use it for such purposes, just as with any other tool.
+===== Divine =====
+==== Destura ====
+[[lore:Destura]] is the duality god of luck and goddess of misfortune. It is Destura who reads someone's fate and shows them their destiny. This reading happens when a baby is first blessed sometime during their first year of life. Most parents have their child blessed as soon as possible for without Destura's first blessing their spirit will forever be trapped on this world after death. Once blessed they are known to Destura who will visit upon them luck and misfortune for the remainder of their days.
+==== Besello ====
+[[lore:Besello]] is the duality god of animals that walk and goddess of animals that fly or swim. As one of the divine Besello holds sway over all animals. These animals serve followers as beasts of burdens, feed and clothe them, and occasionally companionship. It was a gift from Besello who gave his followers the loyalty of the dog to help hunt and defend. Cats and parrots are both considered sacred, serving to carry the words from followers to Besello.
+==== Morvita ====
+[[lore:Morvita]] is the duality god of death and goddess of life. It is Morvita who watches over the birth and passing of all life. As teh goddess she is the sun, as the god he is the moon. This cycle and passing is seen and worshiped by all. Morvita is said to walk among mortals during the nights when the moon is no longer in the sky. It is this new moon when a meaningful death might summon the divine himself. During the full moon Morvita is reflected in her full glory and all life is worshiped. A penitent follower will not seek to take any life during the full moon.
+==== Cieterra ====
+[[lore:Cieterra]] is the duality god of the sky and goddess of the earth. Cieterra holds sway over both the firmament and earth. Cieterra is the judge over the pleasure and punishment of the afterlife. The gifts of grain and wood has given people food and material to house them safely - the winds cool their brows and fill their sails. The earth also shakes and swallows homes whole while lightning and hail fall from the sky crushing the wicked and penitent. Followers come before Cieterra seeking judgement over mortal affairs.

-==== Divinity ====
+==== Vitilità ====
-  * **[[lore:Destura]]**; god of luck and goddess of misfortune - one's fate or destiny
+[[lore:Vitilità]] is the duality god of fire and goddess of water. Vitilità holds sway over vitality and fertility - the reckless bloom of youth. All of the divine are equals, but Cieterra is considered the eldest and Vitilità the youngest. From childlike wonder and exploration to the first passions of love Vitilità is invoked often as a curse by parents or breathlessly by lovers. Fire is a protector who drives away fears and darkness, but is hungry for destruction if left unchecked. Likewise water irrigates the fields and carry ships, but floods care nothing for those washed before it and storms destroy ship and shore alike. Tempestuous, turbulent, unbridled, uncontrolled, and unrestrained and but a few words to best describe this divine.
-  * **[[lore:Besello]]**; god of animals that walk and goddess of animals that fly or swim - the beasts
-  * **[[lore:Morvita]]**; god of death and goddess of life - the passing of all life
-  * **[[lore:Cieterra]]**; god of the sky and goddess of the earth - the firmament and earth
-  * **[[lore:Vitilità]]**; god of fire and goddess of water - vitality and fertility
-==== Protovita ====
+==== Eroe ====
+Each of the divine claim two people are their eroe (heroes, avatar, first one) on the world. One is always a man and the other a woman. They hold sway over the nature of the god or goddess upon the world. The eroe are marked by a tattoo clearly visible on their body. Unlike the clergy these pairs do not travel together and in fact rarely work well together as each represents only a single aspect of the divine.
