Priesthood of Noarae

Mythology & Lore

The Priesthood of Noarae is made up of people who have devoted their lives to the goddess of creation, Noarae.   Noarae is one of the original two deities that predate even time itself. The other being her brother @Vonir the god of Destruction.   Noarae created the entire cosmos, and everything within it, either directly, or indirectly. After creating the stars and the planets, she created the planet of Erilar, followed by the other gods. The other god were unable to create things like Noarae. They could either destroy, warp, change or combine her creations when wanting to make something new.   Noarae has no fixed appearance as she appears as different races, as the creator of everything, save for her brother, @Vonir, she is responsible for the creation of all life by proxy and does not choose favourites. Her appearance changes to suit whoever she appears to, but most people claim to have seen her surrounded by a golden light.

Priesthood

The priesthood of Noarae is a Matriarchy. Males are allowed to preach the teachings of Noarae, but the seats of power withing the priesthood are held for women. This is due to Noarae being seen as the mother of creation, the priesthood tries to emulate this by having the head of the priesthood be a mother herself.   The priesthood is known for wearing gold and white in their robes, to represent the light of their patron goddess.
