Maðr, The One (“Him”; Ducateon faith of the Steel Realms)
Posted on June 22, 2021 in Steel-Realms
>General Motto: “There is The Way, and all else is secondary.“
Quick Reference: Maðr is a Divine Principal associated with discipline, order, hierarchy, stability and stone; They are an entity that reflects the powers of Conviction through Essence. This deity has NOT affirmed participation in The Godspeak Accord.
The Ducateon are technically monotheists. Although they acknowledge that there are many aspects to this divine entity, they refer to it as “Him”, “Maðr”, or “The One”. Maðr, pronounced “Mann” by most (also ‘ma-thur’, ‘mod-r’), though being grammatically masculine, it usually refers to the entity irrespective of gender. They openly individually venerate other deities as aspects of Maðr. There is even rumors of a sect of Gloom Bringer among the Ducateon, that follow the ways of “The Encroaching Darkness” and are killers of the priests of Maðr.
Promise of the Afterlife
There is a universal Afterlife for all of the folk who follow Him. It conforms to the standard Afterlife processes and manifestation.
The modern age is heavily defined by the clash of faiths in the “Affray of Darkness and Light” in which he seeks to escape playing a significant part.
