The Phusdite's
The Phusdite's are a large group of people who worship the Goddess Phusdite, The goddess of winter. She forced the people of Katyusha to create a temple in her honor and surrounding it with the capital city, this promise was broken so and the goddess went into hiding after creating the frost, they now travel the plains, mountains, and caves of katyusha looking for her and collecting any items found along the way as offerings and other gifts (also trade items) they are usually seen wearing multiple layers of clothing, big jackets with an assortment of furs on the inside with a light blue outside, also thick hats made of hide and other furs, they are always seen wearing snowshoes or having snowshoes on there large backpacks that some of them also use as sleeping bags, on top of that they are sometimes seen with reindeer or Clydesdale horses carrying heavy loads through the snow. Sometimes there political leaders are seen wearing tall fur hat made from bear or wolf skins along with a dark blue out coat that has traces of silver and white traces on them. Phusdite guards usually carry pole axes and wear light armor and sizable snowshoes that create an easier place of balance on the snow, they also wear the usual Phusdite attire under there armor. They usually travel in giant groups that sweep across the land stopping at select points that they call 'Irinc's' in the groups there are usually two priests, ten Phusdite guards, nearly nine hundred and eighty followers of Phusdite, and some caravan, adventurers, and merc's that follow the people to ensure that they travel safely through the mountains and plains.
Structure
They have a religious higher and a religious lower, the highest rank is called goddess bound and the lowest is called the goddess lost. The priests are the ones who sing the song that Phusdite puts in there ears so the people of her worship can hear what she says. The middlings are supposed to write down and listen to everything the priests say and pass it on to anyone who didn't. The last long are the people told to spread their knowledge of the goddess Phusdite to all other people no matter what they say or think and to continue doing it until they are dead or till everyone listens to them.

They walk among the frozen lands of Katyusha with an assortment of clothing, usually comprised of Thick winter coats, hats, pants, shirts, snowshoes made for deep snow, and giant backpacks that are big enough to fit humans, all tinted light blue and silver. Their guards are seen wearing light armor and bigger than normal snowshoes along with poleaxes and sometimes spears and shields along with the normal attire of the Phusdite people. Their priests are seen wearing tall fur hats and dark blue clothing with silver and light blue strands running through it, sometime they wield staffs and clubs other times they are not seen holding any weapons. The average Phusdite usually owns some kind of knife or axe along with a blue steel helmet.

Oryenta decided to follow the path of freedom and parties, she aloud everything under her people. Oryenta soon died because her followers overran her and hated her because she would let people get away with everything they wanted with no punishment at all. All the followers of Oryenta meshed into the ranks of the Phusdites and followed her blindly without thought, they wanted to be imprisoned.

After that, she went back into hiding and her followers then started scowering the lands to find her after one of her clues that she left was destroyed by the king of Katyusha.
Divine Origins
This religion has many beliefs that Phusdite will do anything they need as long as they do anything she says. these beliefs came from when Phusdite claimed all things covered by her snow and when she herself, speaking in the native tongue of Phusdites, that she would give them whatever they need as long as they sacrifice their trinkets to her.
