Adramalech

You suffer. I sense it. You suffer and struggle. You feel weak. Fragile. Pitiful.   And you are. Because I can not stomach weakness. And I cannot pay mind to small people such as you.   How does that make you feel? Hurt? Wounded? Gonna cry? I fucking hope so.   How does that make you feel? Mad? Angry? Want to hurt me?   Good.   Good. I want you mad. I want you angry. I want you to pick your sorry ass off the ground. Nobody said this was easy. Nobody said you would win. To the victor goes the spoils, and you have to earn that victory, by your own. hands.   So what are you waiting for? Earn your keep. Do you worship the heart of a dragon or a gecko? Are you as strong as a dragon or an iguana. Are you meant for more like a true draconic soul, or are you simply a weak, pathetic humanoid.   Then get up. Act and prove your worth.

Holidays

Festival of Lights: The Draconic gods are seen as being generally outside the realm of others gods, as the dragons themselves are creatures rather than traditionally ascended beings. And as the draconic gods are not bound to Rakuen itself, a week is given to all the gods. The Festival of Lights is generally on the final two week of the year, culminating in the the Solar New Year, punctuated by various occasions throughout.  
  • The Advent: On the first day of the Festival of Lights, adherents begin a fasting for the day, and upon dinner time when their fast breaks, bring out a candelabrum. This is used for religious observance, where every night, prayers are said at the lighting of a candle for the passage of time. Eight candles are used as part of the candelabrum, with for representing the four legs of Haumea, and four representing the dragons Bahamut, Tiamat, Deidra, and Adramalech.
  • Starlight: Generally throughout the proceedings of the Festival of Lights, decorations will be made throughout communities, including wreaths, decorative ribbons of red and green, and most importantly, candles, lanterns, and lamps. Starlight is the most popular event for decoration though, as it is usually a community event. In smaller communities, roadways and the doorways of houses are lined with candles, and families travel through the lights at night, singing various carols to one another as groups. Larger communities can get quite advanced with decorations, including more candles, stained glass for lamps to produce different colored lights, and large displays in public places.
  • The Nativity: A day of worship for the god of all dragons, Alexander, who was created by the divine might of the other draconic gods. This day is generally celebrated as a day of family and gathering. It is largely somber and subdued, and meant to be a night spent with those that matter most to you. Traditions include the completion of the candelabrum, homecooked meals, games, and the sharing of beds between family.
  • Noel: Noel is the day immediately after The Nativity, celebrating the birth and ascension of Alexander. This is a day of gift giving, and of appreciating those closest to you. Handcrafted gifts or personal gifts are most prominent, with items such as toys, clothing, and pottery, although silverware, glassware, and jewelry are also very popular gifts. The day emphasizes children in the morning, celebrating their youth, before devolving into raucous feasting and partying to celebrate adults. Large dinners late at night as well as various alcohols.
  • Solar New Year: In the days after Noel, the celebrations do not stop. The day after Noel is a public day of feast. There is usually a religious parade featuring small statues of the draconic gods, with emphasis to Alexander, followed by a community feast where everyone shares. Afterwards, partying is encouraged throughout, and no business is allowed to be conducted. Heavy drinking throughout the day was a particularly popular activity. Another was the election of the Dragon King, where each family would elect someone else in their family to be head of household, usually someone of lower status such as a child or slave, who would be allowed to order others around within reason. The event concluded with a celebration on New Years at around midnight, where the community would count down the last day of the year in unison.

Personal history

Adramalech is the Right Leg of Haumea, and god of Rage, Battles, and Riches. A powerful and ultimately a being based around anger, it is said that he was the one that most rejected the reception of a physical form when he was separated from Haumea. Thus, he is a conduit for some of mortals most simple and material desires. Although often worshiped in hushed tones, as many feel guilty to worship for the things they truly desire, there is a certain joy and pride in worshiping without judgement for that which you need.   Adramalech is, above all, worshiped by warriors of all sort. Fighters, paladins, barbarians, soldiers, and blood hunters all value his support in all matters of battle. He is also a mainstay among merchants and royalty, for his shared love of coin and riches. Racially, Adramalech is most popular with Dragonborn and Dwarves, both of who have a long history of worship with the draconic gods. Adramalech is also popular among Satryrs for representing such a pure emotion such as rage, as well as traditionally tribal communities that are more based around martial defense of their homes, such as Orcs, Avians, and Goliaths, and sometimes Tieflings. Also understated is Adramalech's worship from Minotaur and Tabaxi, who value rage as a component of their races, and value the worship of the ability to act angrily without inhibition.
