Sirean Mythology

The Sirean religion is the religion of the durnish of the Northlands, adopted by the dwarven and Salrech Barbarians. It is the worship of the Sirea family tree, the divine bloodline and dynasty of the monarch clans who rule over the The Northlands. It is the one of the most popular and widespread religions behind Semmahn Mythology and Zobernian Mythology.

The religion takes its roots from a monotheistic worship of a single god, who divined Oreyd I, the founder of The Northlands, and his family.

The Sirean Family
The Sirean Family is the lineage of Oreyd the Pious, first king of the Northlands. The bloodline runs into most of the people of the Northlands, but today is direct into the clan of Daecherholme, the current monarchs. Worship of the one god is still prevalent, but the central worship is of the "great eight": Oreyd and his wife Vaylia, their four sons Oriodus, Carbaunus, Siobahn, and Maraudus, as well as the wife of Maraudus, Eydil, and their son Dahnn.

Animal Aspects
Oreyd I claimed that everyone had the spirit of one of three great wild animals that inhabit the Northlands: the bear, the wolf, or the raven. Each clan is attributed to one of these aspects, but also each person when they reach adulthood. The bear usually symbolizes strength, though over the years this has evolved physical and mental strength. The wolf symbolizes courage and leadership. The raven symbolizes cunning and intelligence.

The crest of Clan Daecherholme is the raven, while the personal crest of both Victor IV and his wife Livia are the bear, leading to their monikers of Raven Bear.
