A group of nomads were looking for a safe place to call home. These lands were rules by dark creatures that would devour anything on their path, even each other. They called them Telos, which means "end" in Greek, because meeting them will lead to the end of your life.
The group finally reached a valley where these creatures couldn't reach, so they decided to make it their home. Soon, they started to hear voices of creatures that where from another realm. These creatures explained that the valley was divine land (which is the name of the kingdom), a communication tunnel with the divine realm. They also explain that for the group to stay, they needed to service them. The group agreed as long as they were saved from the Telos. Within the agreement, a union started between gods and humans. The gods power grew as they bless more humans, while the humans had powers to defend themselves from the Telos.
Since the gods are the highest authority in this land, there is no castle or royalty. Instead, there is the main temple called Kyrios Naos for all the gods and a human gets selected by the gods to represent them called Archiereas which means "High Priest" in Greek. There are more temples, smaller than Kyrios Naos, and the gods also assign humans to them called Iereis which means "Priest" in Greek. There are also humans called Agioi Ippotes which means "Holy Knights" in Greek, they get selected by a god and granted powers and are sent to cleanse the land from the Telos.
Epilogi Archierea "Selection of High Priest"
Is a ceremony held in Kyrios Naos every time a new Archiereas needs to be selected. This only happens when the previous Archiereas dies.
To be selected as a Archiereas, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:
1. Must have served as a Agioi Ippotes for at least 15 years.
2. Must have served as a Iereis for at least 20 years.
3. Must be older than 60 years.
Epilogi Iereon "Selection of Priests"
Is a ceremony held in Kyrios Naos every time a new Iereis needs to be selected. This only happens when a previous Iereis dies.
To be selected as a Iereis, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:
1. Must have served as a Agioi Ippotes for at least 15 years.
2. Must be older than 40 years.
Epilogi Ieron Ippoton "Selection of Holy Knights"
Is a ceremony held in Kyrios Naos when someone turns 20 years old, so it gets celebrated depending on the birth rates.
For Agioi Ippotes, it's mandatory to train for 5 years on how to use your powers and weapon of your choice. The land fill with Telos is really hostile, so is important to be knowledgeable, mature and strong. Is possible to become a teacher instead of going out to cleanse the land, but it will not count for the years you need to serve to be selected as a Iereis nor Archiereas.
