The Old Way

There was a national folk religion before the first God-King. Its name is lost to the ages, if it even had one at all. It is still practiced by a secret cult that calls it the Old Way.

In those days of the Old Way, the untamed wilderness was a place of monsters and demons. Horrible creatures roamed the unsettled lands. To leave civilization was a death sentence. After Kæryd Blynda came into being, all of the demons vanished. However, fear of the wilderness remained as superstition.

Though demons roamed the world, this was the natural way of the world. Some people had magic and used it to protect their kin and neighbors. But when God-King Gurfnyng banished the demons, people lost their magic.

Gods are only as strong as the belief in them. Kæryd Blynda replaced the Old Way by changing the belief state of the populace at large.
