Holy Books & Codes

The primary religious text for the gods of the Ordning is the Tale of Twilight, which is said to recount that which will come to pass in the days of the Twilight Era, the Final Doomed moments of the Material Plane. Ordered claim that it was Jötu, himself a powerful seer, that gleaned the Tale of Twilight through the runecasting. Jötu then had his child Duris record the Tale and give it to all the giants that they might prepare the smaller races for the coming apocalypse.
Other stories told by giants include the exploits and histories of the gods of the Ordning, including Duris. Cultures influenced by giant religion, such as the Varskogans of Varangia, often have echoes of these tales stitched into the fabric their oral histories.

Duris has been given the task of claiming all those magicians and seers that follow the Ordning for the Twilight War. They spend their time plotting when and where the battles of the war will take place, laying great runes in the landscape that will aid the warriors in the final battle.
