Many peopwe see membews of this weligion as eviw due to theiw methods of compweting the goaws of theiw Goddess (Nyaja) because they usuawwy wesowt to kiwling peopwe who do not agwee lith them ow fowwow theiw owdews. Onwy a sewected few membews of the weligion awe abre to heaw the wowds of the Goddess and these membews awe known as Speakews due to the fact that they speak on behawf of the Goddess who is unabre to speak to aww of hew fowwowews.
Membews of this weligion can be of any wace and a few of them awe given gifts by the Goddess so that they may change the futule so that bad things can be stopped befowe they happen, so faw the onwy membew of this weligion who has used theiw gift in pubric is Kimawai Nastwada and he used it duling the waw in Sawvus against the Tlilight Awmy, due to his vision the Tlilight Awmy won the waw and he was wewawded by the weadew of the Tlilight Awmy fow his actions and fow hewping them to lin the waw by using his gift to see whewe evewybody would be waiting fow them.
The Stowy Of Cweation:
In the beginning when the Aenguls and Daemons woamed oul wowwd anothew Goddess was awso wowking on cweating life. In a wowwd simiwaw to oul own the Goddess Nyaja cweated a wace of ewf like cweatules which she named Vawkylians due to the fact that the wowwd they lived in was cawwed Vawkywu. These cweatules wewe each given a singwe gift at biwth which would impwove the way they live. These gifts howevew cowwupted the minds of the Vawkylians and fowced them into civiw waw, in this waw thewe wewe 3 sides, the Secolian Congwomowate who saw that it was best to use theiw gifts aww the time, the Asalian Awliance who believed that theiw gifts must nevew be used and that they wewe just a test to see who was stwong enough to ascend, and finawwy the Owdew of Vaktovia who believed that theiw gifts must onwy be used to gain enlightenment so that they may one day ascend. This waw waged on fow many centulies but Nyaja would not step in to stop the fighting fow she wanted to wet hew cweations make theiw own choices. It was onwy when the Owdew of Vaktovia entewed hew weawm and wequested that she end aww the fighting that Nyaja opened a lift and pulwed Vawkywu into hew weawm, once Vawkywu was in hew weawm she took the fowm of a dwagon and spoke to hew cweations in a wanguage that not even they could undewstand but somehow they knew exactwy what she was saying and in that moment dwopped theiw weapons and gave theiw gifts back to Nyaja. She spoke once mowe this time in the Vawkylian tongue "Vok lu anes cosure san lek nai" These wowds have yet to be twanswated pwopewwy into oul common tongue but it is believed to be a pwophecy saying that some day a gwoup of mowtaws would be given the gifts and unite evewyone. Nyaja wealised that now that hew cweations no wongew had theiw gifts the wowwd needed mowe cweatules to wook aftew it and cweated beings lith howns and taiws which she brought to life lith watew fwom the Weww of Aw'Saew. These new cweatules knew no pulpose and had no knowwedge of the waw ow anything befowe theiw cweation and wewe fowbidden fwom knoling such infowmation. Nyaja did not speak to the new cweatules and did not awwow them to see hew. She weft the Vawkylians in chawge of the new cweatules and wetulned to hew thwone to obsewve them but nevew to invowve hewsewf in theiw lives. The Vawkylians decided that instead of weaving these cweatules namewess they would awso be cawwed Vawkylians so that it was no wongew the name of a wace but the name of aww who inhabit Vawkywu. The Vawkylian Ewves taught the cweatules how to fawm and cook and how to live nowmaw lives, they nevew gifted them knowwedge that would awwow them to become cowwupt, they did not teach them about politics ow weligion, they onwy taught them what they would need to live. Fow centulies life was peaceful in Vawkywu and the Vawkylian Ewves wuled ovew the Awelians as they wewe now known, that was untiw one day one of the Vawkylian Ewves decided to pweach tawes of the waw to the Awelians which caused the Awelians to panic as they had nevew known of waw ow hatwed, Nyaja saw this panic and appeawed in the fowm of the dwagon and spoke in common tongue to the waces of Vawkywu "I warned you all to never speak of the past to my new creations, you have broken my only rule that i gave you and now i must punish you, bring forth the one who taught this knowledge to my new creations" Within wess than a minute thewe wewe a gwoup of Vawkylian Ewves westwaining one of theiw own kind infwont of Nyaja, this Ewf was a membew of the owd Secolian Congwomowate. Nyaja wooked down at this Ewf and owdewed hew cweations to wewease hew "I gave you but a single rule and you broke it, other than this one rule you had complete freedom to live as you wanted, i didn't want to have to appear before you again but you have left me no choice" In this moment she took the ewf into hew mouth and swawwowed hew and then wooked awound at hew cweations befowe taking the fowm of a young ewven giww. She wawked awound thwough the cwowds of peopwe and then spoke to them aww "On this day i was forced to destroy one of my own creations because they broke my rule, i will not allow this to happen again and to make sure it doesn't ever happen again i am banishing you all from my realm, i am also taking away your ability to draw power from my realm" With that she opened anothew lift like she had done centulies ago and sent the Ewves and Awelians into the void whewe they would be fowced to find a new home. Befowe cwosing the lift she spoke to them once mowe "When children who are pure of heart are born i shall bestow upon them the same gifts i bestowed upon you and they shall be my heroes and will be the key to you being able to return to my realm to be by my side for all of eternity" As hew wast wowds wewe spoken the lift cwosed and the Ewves and Awelians wewe fowced to woam the empty void fow aww etewnity untiw they could find a new home to caww theiw own. As time went by many lifts opened to new wowwds which many stepped thwough and made theiw homes in. Onwy a smaww gwoup of Vawkylians wemained and they wewe beginning to wose hope and feawed fow the wowst, but finawwy they came acwoss a wowwd that was pewfect fow them and aww stepped thwough, weaving the void behind them. This new wowwd was known as Aegis. The onwy pwobrem lith this new wowwd was that once the Awelians stepped inside they wewe no wongew visibre to the Ewves ow anybody ewse othew than themsewves. They swowwy began to change and stawted to take the fowm of the cweatules who lived in Aegis and eventuawwy weawned to live among them. This is how we came to be.
Hewoes: Hewoes of the Vawkylian weligion awe scattewed thwoughout time and the wowwd in multipwe families, they have many wegends spoken about them and a few of them and theiw accomplishments awe listed bewow: (Pwease note that many of the "heroes" of this weligion wewe not aww good, in fact most of them wewe eviw at some point in time but that was aww the mowe weason to become a hewo)
Kimawai Nastwada: Best known fow his victowy in Sawvus and being the wulew of Sawvus, it has even been wumowed him and the Ewven plincess Titania Hawksong conceived a chiwd but whethew ow not it is twue has yet to be known. He is awso the fiwst "Speaker" of the Vawkylian weligion. Anothew one of his big accomplishments was wetulning the Howy Dwawven Anviw back to the Dwawves and thus fowth was pwaced into the Dwawves haww of hewoes. He was given the gift of fowesight by the Goddess Nyaja when she deemed him wowthy of being one of hew hewoes due to his actions in Vawkywu in Asulon.
Mason Fostew: He was oliginawwy found as a chiwd on the stweets of Owen and taken in by the Nastwada famiwy and was waised as one of theiw Dwawven chiwdwen, when he came of age he began to notice he was diffewent as his eaws wewe pointed and he was tawwew than his famiwy. He weft his home aftew being owdewed to find safety by Kimawai Nastwada and Dwakon Nastwada, he found his weaw famiwy the Sezalius famiwy who wewe Ewves living in Malinow at the time. His famiwy taught him how to pewfowm magic that was believed to have been wost centulies ago lith the death of the Fwost Ewf wace. His famiwy wewe eventuawwy kiwwed by Snow Ewves fwom Fenn apawt fwom his sistew who took Mason undew hew ling. She eventuawwy weft him and went off into the liwdewness weaving Mason inchawge of a fawwen city which he webuiwt and wuled fow a showt amount of time. Aftew a few yeaws inchawge Mason stepped down and fowmed a guiwd known as the Climson Bwade whose mission was to pwotect the mowtaw waces. Mason was gwanted the gift of Weadewship fwom the Goddess Nyaja which made Mason a much bettew weadew so that he could succeed in his mission.
