The primary religion of Elterlein. The people of Elterlein believe in a cyclic system of creation, wherein Gods, called Vorläufer in the Elten tongue, meaning progenitor or precursor, form creations which then rise to overcome them. At this point the creations assume the Vorläufer mantle, placing their own creations on the world who will continue the cycle. The latest Vorläufer in the cycle is named Ahn, meaning forefather. Ahn himself is not worshipped in a traditional sense, as he is taught to have been destroyed.

  • The primary religion of Elterlein. The people of Elterlein believe in a cyclic system of creation, wherein Gods, called Vorläufer in the Elten tongue, meaning progenitor or precursor, form creations which then rise to overcome them. At this point the creations assume the Vorläufer mantle, placing their own creations on the world who will continue the cycle. The latest Vorläufer in the cycle is named Ahn, meaning forefather. Ahn himself is not worshipped in a traditional sense, as he is taught to have been destroyed. It is a popular belief, however, that Ahn’s spirit permeates the world and guides his creations. Worship of Ahn equates to posthumous gratitude for creation and paving the way to eventual ascension. Because of this, the Elten people believe that a traditional priesthood is unnecessary and instead follow these principles, teaching them to their children. This leads to the Elten principles of self improvement and a constant aspiration for excellence. Rather than rely on powers they cannot understand they seek to understand all power in order to eventually secure humanity's ascension and repeat the cycle anew.
