Deities

On Salus, there were beliefs in a various number of deities, religious routines, and practices. Each culture had anything from a single deity such as the Divine of the Dagmar to the animistic Temujin and even the polytheistic Fenchess (a deceased tribe of Salusian eliminated by the Sundering). Below are a list of the few surviving major deities from Salus and the society with which they are associated.

The Divine and the Shi'a

The Divine is said to be the creator of all life on Salus and was said to be represented by the pink crystal located in each Dagmari village. She was said to also sustain all life on Salus freely granting wisdom and knowledge to all who would seek it from her. The Dagmar are unsure of whether or not she lives following the Sundering still but commemorate her wisdom and being with small crystals around his/her neck. The Shi'a are considered the children of the Divine. The Dagmar are unsure of what part the five Shi'a played in the world but are certain that at least 1 of them survived the Sundering.

The Hiimori

The Hiimori is the name of the collection of spirits worshipped by the early Temujin. Each of these spirits represented a specific aspect and although each Temujin paid their respects to each spirit, each Temjin had a specific spirit that was designated as their patron spirit. The spirits were:

Wolf - Wolf was associated with community and health. The Temujin selecting the Wolf as his/her patron often tended to the wounded and sick and the growing of the community.

Raven - Raven was associated with intelligence and the ability to think and reason through issue and solve problems. Raven followers were renown as generals and leadership roles such as Gerel, the great Temujin general.

Hawk - Hawk was associated with foresight and the ability to see what was coming before it happened. These Temujin often belonged to the mystic and shamanistic ordered and often guided the spiritual aspects of the Temujin culture.

Stag - Stag was associated with wisdom and fortitude. The Temujin who selected the Stag as their patron worked tirelessly on perfecting their crafts and trades. These Temujin were strong and useful in daily village life as well as war.

Serpent - Serpents were renown for their agile nature and their natural talents as assassins. These beings were rare in the Temujin culture as they were seen as dirty and underhanded but were useful in certain situations and thus never fully exterminated.

Bear - Bear were proud warriors who would be the first on and last off of the battlefield. These Temujin embodied strength of body and often found their place as personal bodygaurds.

Tsekenew
