History
Joratruf
A religion based around faith in the Joratruf, three mighty Gods who rule over the universe as well as various other beings that populate the universe. Joratrufar is the term used to describe members of this faith. Values and traditions of Joratrufar are passed down orally (via regurgitation), making it difficult for historians to record an "established" scripture:
"These are called the Rites of Life. Generosity, Bravery, Honor, Courage, Compassion, Hospitality, Temperation,Passion, Discipline, and Loyalty These are to be upheld by all Joratrufar, as the Gods will it."
The Three Realms
"Elltun: Home of the Dragon and great cities in which the Gods reside."
"Manngurd: Home of Men"
"Niifa: Realm of the undead and the portals of Magik, which can be found on Manngurd."
"These realms were created when the King of Gods, Midol, let his dog Snuki and cat Snalli loose to play, and they tore up his body, creating each realm from his flesh, bones, and hair."
