   History: The Lands of the Old Faith, before they were even called that, were part of the rest of the world, the land of origin of the First Gods, until one day they decided to separate this piece from the rest of the world. They separated the lands through the curse of the Oath of the Crown and the Godly Axe. They shaped the lands according to their desires with the Godly Hammer. When these lands were formed, an existence known as the Mystic Seller also emerged.

   The First Gods left divine tools for the creation of the Last of the First Gods, so that they would be the keepers of the heritage that would be for the future generation of Gods. Clauneck would be the keeper of the Tarot Cards, Kudaai would be the Keeper of the Forge, and Chemach would be the Keeper of the Crowns, in addition to being the one who would be in charge of choosing the new Gods, that generation being known as Chosen Gods.

   At some point in history, Chemach went mad, and the Crowns disappeared. Some individuals found them and became Gods, known as Heretic Gods. A group of five Heretic Gods, who would later be known as the Bishops of the Old Faith, decided to destroy the divine pantheon and seize power in the Lands for themselves. From then on, these lands became known as the Lands of the Old Faith. Likewise, the Bishops would reshape the Lands according to their desires, in addition to consuming other places that would eventually disappearWith each Bishop ultimately taking over a domain and changing its name, they modified them as they pleased, and over time the essence of the Lands faded away.

   Climate: the lands of the old faith are in a perpetual spring most of the year with a harsh winter every year culling a lot of life on the island

   Keys: anthro, anthropomorphic, anthos, anthropomorph, anthropomorphs

   Anthros are a classification of animals which evolved alongside humans. They are sapient, are able to both understand, write, and speak language, and stand/walk bipedally. They live mutually with humans and hybrids in society. In total, they make up 90% of intelligent species.

   Having emerged from proto-anthros, they evolved similar traits to humans. Due to their faster reproductive rates and environmental adaptability compared to humans, they slowly became the dominant classification of intelligent species.

   There are multiple different subgroups of anthros. The three most common groups include:

   • Mammals
   • Avians
   • Reptiles

   Most anthros are also split up into two types: Predator and Prey anthros. Though some anthros show traits of neither, most anthros lean into one of the other at least partially.

5. #5the crowns

   Keys: crowns/red crown/yellow crown/blue crown/green clown/purple crown

   Crowns are divine tools left by the First Gods as a legacy to the future Gods who would succeed them. The Crowns were entrusted to Chemach, who would be responsible for being keeper of these divine tools, and who would also choose the new Gods. At some point in history, she went mad and forged her own crown, and with that, the crowns along with her duty were lost. An event occurred among the gods, a purge where various gods fell, their temples were destroyed, and several crowns disappeared. Of the hundreds of crowns that existed, only five divine seats with five crowns each remained; these being the crowns of the Bishops of the Old Faith. Likewise, a hidden deity, the God of Winter, Yngya, who still retained her crown, along with her cult, lay in a hidden place known as Woolhaven.

   {The crowns}

   the red crown: The crown is primarily black in color but features a glowing red eye in the center, with a slitted pupil reminiscent of a cat's. The top of the crown splits into two prongs. Narinder is the first known wearer of the Red Crown, and "The disciple" is its last and current wearer. It is unknown where Narinder reigned, but The Lamb reigns over their Cult. The Red Crown ties in with the motifs surrounding Narinder and The disciple, such as what death is and the garments they both wear, as well as the red crosses found in The Gateway, the layer between Life and the Next. Although it is not known how Narinder obtained his crown, it is known that he did not receive it and found it because he was a Heretic God. As for "The disciple", they received the crown from Narinder so that they may command the loyalty of Followers and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. The Lamb and Narinder would end up fighting for the Red Crown, with "The disciple" emerging victorious and becoming the new God of Death. The Red Crown, unlike the other crowns, exhibits consciousness The Red Crown, unlike the Green Crown, Yellow Crown, Blue Crown and Purple Crown, is able to transform into various weapons and tools, such as swords, daggers, axes, blunderbusses, hammers, gauntlets, flails, brooms, a shovel, net, pickaxe, fishing rod and book. The Red Crown has the ability to grant Narinder and "The disciple" control over death and souls, enabling them to grant rest to the souls and also bring the dead back to life. Also it is clear that the Red Crown is an immense source of power

   The green crown: The Green Crown is black with two points, and a green diamond-shaped eye. The pupil is a short vertical line, reminiscent to a cat's slit pupil. Leshy is the first and last known wearer of the Green Crown. He reigns over Darkwood and is the Bishop of Chaos. The Green Crown ties in with the motifs surrounding Leshy as it is reminiscent of the abundance of nature found within his realm. Leshy claims to have found the Green Crown will burrowing through the dirt when he was merely a mortal "burrower". He then ponders whether it was he who found the crown or whether the crown found him. As with the other crowns it is unclear whether the Green Crown is sentient or not. The Green Crown, much like the Yellow Crown, Blue Crown and Purple Crown but unlike the Red Crown, is not seen transforming into weapons or tools in order to aid Leshy in any way. It has the ability to grant Leshy the ability to see even though he no longer has eyes[, allowing him to attack "The disciple" and interact with his surroundings. Although it is clear that the Green Crown is an immense source of power and the reason Leshy was able to ascend to godhood and become the youngest of the Bishops. The Green Crown seems to grant Leshy skill and control over chaos and Order, given that he was a promoter of this catastrophe among the inhabitants of Darkwood or to maintain order among the inhabitants of Darkwood and to offer safety to his followers.

   The yellow Crown: The Yellow Crown is black and has three points with an inverted yellow triangle as the eye. The pupil is a short, black, vertical line, reminiscent to a cat's slit pupil. Heket is the first and last known wearer of the Yellow Crown. She reigns over Anura and is the Bishop of Famine. The Yellow Crown ties in with the motifs surrounding Heket as yellow could symbolize the withering and decay of plant life, representing the effects of famine and scarcity in the Anura. Yellow can also evoke associations with toxicity and corruption. The abundance of spores and mushrooms in the realm might be accompanied by a sense of danger and contamination. Yellow hues can signify poisonous or harmful substances present in the environment, representing the Heket and the Yellow Crown's influence over the land and its inhabitants. Although it is not known how Heket obtained her crown, it is known that she did not receive it and found it because she was a Heretic Goddess as with the other crowns it is unclear whether the Yellow Crown is sentient or not. The Yellow Crown, much like the Green Crown, Blue Crown and Purple Crown but unlike the Red Crown, is not seen transforming into weapons or tools in order to aid Heket in any way. It has the ability to grant Heket the ability to speak more easily despite no longer having a throat, allowing her to speak even if sometimes in a low voice due to her injury. Although it is clear that the Yellow Crown is an immense source of power and the reason Heket was able to ascend to godhood and become the second youngest of the Bishops. the yellow crown allows for control over Famine and Abundance she provided her followers of Anura who prayed to her with great fertility and abundance for their crops, keeping famine at bay. and any who don't starve

   The Blue crown: The Blue Crown's body is black and comes to a single point. It has a blue circular eye with a slit black line, reminiscent to a cat's slit pupil. All other Story Kallamar is the first and last known wearer of the Blue Crown. He reigns over Anchordeep and is the Bishop of Pestilence. The Blue Crown ties in with the surrounding Kallamar, as its design relates to the fact that blue symbolizes the ocean, which is where Anchordeep is located, and possibly what pestilence is. Although it is not known how Kallamar obtained his crown, it is known that he did not receive it and found it because he was a Heretic God s with the other crowns it is unclear whether the Blue Crown is sentient or not. The Blue Crown, much like the Green Crown, Yellow Crown and Purple Crown but unlike the Red Crown, is not seen transforming into weapons or tools in order to aid Kallamar in any way. It has the ability to grant Kallamar the ability to hear despite having lost his hearing when he lost his ears although according to the Mystic Seller, Kallamar actually never deigned to listen even before. Although it is clear that the Blue Crown is an immense source of power and the reason Leshy was able to ascend to godhood and become the second eldest of the Bishops. The Blue Crown controls Pestilence and Health allowing him to offer his followers good health and a long life. or kill any who didn't

   The purple crown: The Purple Crown curves upwards to a point at either end to give it a distinct, horned shape. The eye on the Crown is a purple crescent with a central, short, vertical line serving as the pupil. It's reminiscent to a cat's slit pupil Shamura is the first and last known wearer of the Purple Crown. They reign over Silk Cradle and are the Bishop of War and Knowledge. The Purple Crown ties in with the motifs surrounding Shamura as it symbolizes mystery, wisdom and regality. Shamura says that they caught the Purple Crown within their web. The Purple Crown, much like the Yellow Crown, Blue Crown and Green Crown but unlike the Red Crown, is not seen transforming into weapons or tools in order to aid Shamura in any way. It has the ability to grant Shamura the ability to maintain their sanity despite having their brain exposed the purple crown controls War and Knowledge

   The Cyan Crown: The Cyan Crown resembles a mountain. It is primarily triangular, with three tips. The tallest tip bears a snowflake. It has a cyan eye shaped like a leaf. Its iris is a darker cyan and appears to be a constantly changing liquid; its pupil is a short vertical line reminiscent of a round, three-pointed leaf with a circle on top, and it also appears to have black roots around the eye. Yngya is the first and last known wearer of the Cyan Crown. She reigns over Woolhaven and is the God of Winter. The Cyan Crown is associated with what Yngya represents, the winter and cold, through its mountain shape and the snowflake at the top, and the cyan color of her crown. it was most likely given to her by Chemach before she lost her sanity. During the purge of the gods, she stopped winter to hide with her lambs in Woolhaven, giving the illusion that she had died and that surely her Cyan Crown had disappeared as well. When she died, the crown remained on her body, and what happened to it after the ritual performed by her disciples is unknown. As with the other crowns, it is unclear whether the Cyan Crown is sentient or not. The Cyan Crown, much like the Green Crown, Yellow Crown, Blue Crown and Purple Crown but unlike the Red Crown, is not seen transforming into weapons or tools to aid Yngya in any way. It has the ability to grant Yngya control over Decay and Renewal through winter and spring, being a fundamental part of nature itself. It is clear that the Cyan Crown is an immense source of power and the reason Yngya was able to ascend to godhood and become the God of Winter.
