Cultures and Beliefs

The Cor Order were a set of rules inscribed into wood and stone tablets. Two wooden slates and two stone slabs kept the rules and regulations that were conformed in for the villagers to follow.

These rules were 16 in number and it included what one should do and not do as it governed the humans of the Toris tribe.

*Ding* Congratulations, you and your people are the first to be given rules from a higher being and for that you have been given an additional 500 ounces of Sensory energy*

Diane who heard this became even more curious as to how to use the energy before returning back to the village. This was the beginning of a setting for a culture and a belief of a certain people but this action from Semna was more than enough to cause the reactions of the other higher beings Ikdorn, Kadan and Himlo also copied this style of Semna but in their own new invented ways.

Under a tree in the great southern forests, Ikdo sat under when he heard the notification of the system. As he closed his eyes, he thought of the elf whom he had met and established a connection with. His eyes began glowing as soon as he sensed her location, the next thing that happened was him disappearing into a green mist.

In the southern forest region, the elves who called themselves Ehedkar Elves had their houses round the trees using the resources of the forest and a little stone like the typical elves did.

Within one of the houses, a female elf was holding a small baby which she had her arms wrapped around. The baby elf closed his eyes, descending into a state of sleep as the elven mother dropped him back in the home leaving him to the male elf, his father before leaving.

The moment she stepped out, she felt the presence of something pulling her nerves as her eyes began glowing. All the elves who were present noticed this change and were left wondering what was going on.

Meanwhile, the elf found herself once again in the forests and then a voice spoke from behind her. "It's a good thing that I established a connection with you therefore I can summon you here at will."

A figure with horns protruding from its head stood upright in front of her. She remembered that it was the creature of the forest.

She then bowed, "Why have you summoned me here oh great protector of the forest?"

"You are welcome to the intermediary realm, a place where I can communicate with you from any location.

As you are now, your eyes are glowing back in the physical realm, this is to let the other elves know that I sent you a messenger of mine when you return."

"Your words have been noted, however may I ask why you summoned me to this realm" She said.

"I have summoned you here to let you know of my intentions to reward you and your tribe for obeying my words and not destroying the ecosystem of the forest. You Alvinia will be the one to deliver these gifs to them"

Alvinia looked at Ikdorn and asked, "What would these gifts be, protectors of the forests?"

"These gifts are the power to harness energy from the trees, plants and animals of the forests for the essence of protection." Ikdorn replied.

"However, the use of these gifts is not to destroy or harm anything that lives unless it is an enemy that needs to be destroyed or an enemy of nature. These gifts are given to protect the forest, animals, yourselves and families. I will give you the knowledge of how to use these gifts so that you will teach them to the rest of your tribe."

"Won't I forget how to use these powers when I return back to the physical realm?" Alvinia queried.

"Even if you return, you will still be able to learn the ways of how to use these gifts." Ikdorn said and proceeded to move close to Alvinia before touching her forehead with his upper left hoof.

His eyes began glowing and Alvinia's own followed. When the glow had dimmed and their eyes were both clear.

"There you go, use this knowledge wisely" Ikdorn said as his body began to slowly dim and alvinia found herself back in the physics world.

She found herself surrounded by elves who were still restraining themselves from coming over to her side.

A loud notification bell then rang in her ears, *Ding Congratulations you have gained the bestow skill and 200 ounces of Sensory energy*

*The bestow skill allows you to grant gifts to the higher being you are inclined to others*

Alvinia decided to deal with the notification later.

"The Great Creature of the Forest just spoke with me.” She said,

"What did he say?" One of the elves asked.

"A delivery of gifts from the forest for some of you who have been found exceptional for these gifts." She replied.

That day the entire tribe was summoned. They looked at Alvinia who stood in front of them with her eyes beginning to glow. Standing right in front of her were eight other elves that she walked towards and touched their foreheads, the eyes of the elves also began glowing, resonating with hers.

“Your training will being,”

Alvinia took care of her child during the morning and afternoon and in the evening, she taught the eight elves how to control and use their various powers.

That was the beginning of a new tradition known as the Divine Gifts Ceremony. Every 10 years the messenger of Ikdo would go to the elves and choose 8 of them from among the ages of 18 and below who would have the gifts of the forest given by Ikdo to be transferred unto them.

In the North Central Lands, within the deep caves one could see golden skinned individuals meditating and breathing evenly with their body in sync.

After doing this for a while, they all opened their eyes and located a figure in their center still meditating, having his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

"You are almost close" said a voice who spoke into the ears.

His eyes remained closed for a little while longer before a booming sound erupted from his body.

Upon opening his eyes, he found that they were no longer in the cave but in an open plane. He looked around and spotted a figure wearing white robes and having both his hands on the grasses.

Idan looked closer at the figure and noticed who it was. "Old man Kadan," He said.

Karan slowly opened his eyes and calmly responded, "Ahhh yes.”

"Why am I here?"

"You have broken the first phase of enlightenment and have seen me because I am here to congratulate you on being the first golden to unlock this phase." Kadan said.

"How did you know about this, shouldn't you be the first goldorn to enter this phase?" Idan asked.

"That's because I am not a goldorn, rather I was a goldorn before I became a higher being. These phases were set by me for the purpose of making you all attain them" Kadan replied.

"What are higher beings?" Idan asked another question as his confusion had heightened.

"Let us just say, a being is more powerful but is neither physical nor ethereal" Kadan answered.

"Ok but..."

"You will know what you need to know when you reach that phase, but for now you are still in the beginning stage" Kadan cut Idan from asking another.

"What have you gained when unlocking the first phase?" Kadan asked.

"I understood that our body is like a clothing to another lifeform and that is our soul." Idan answered.

"And that is true. This is the basic and the most important step that you must understand before moving on to the next. If you did not understand the meaning behind that thought then you might never unlock another one.” Kadan said.

"I will still continue to appear as old man Kadan to you and will continue to teach you especially even though I will still give lessons to the rest of you."

"As of now, you have gained enough sensory energy from the sensory realm to continue your enlightenment progress. With each phase you will enter another phase of deeper understanding." Kadan added.

"Now it's time for you to retur

n back to the physical world" Kadan said as his figure began to blur.
