Ghedhun

In this religion, it is believed that somewhere at the roots of the earth lies a place called Ghedhun - the halls of creation - where the master craftsman Asgund works day and night to create and maintain life.

The worshippers pray to the servants of Asgund for visits and blessings.

Of Giants and Dwarves

Once there were many giants like Asgund roaming through the ancestral forests. The world was peaceful and resources were abundant; the world was in perfect balance.

But within the giant Tollesh grew the seed of ambition. He thought better of himself than his peers and left Ghedhun to make himself master of beast and man.

This first act of selfishness disturbed the balance of the world and the other giants worked even harder to restore it. One by one, however, all of the giants left the halls until only Asgund was left. To help him with his monumental task, he created the dwarves as helpers and protectors of the sacred halls. The dwarves helped Asgund, but still the duty of maintaining balance was too great. So the dwarves themselves crafted many more divine beings and sought to ally with the spirits of nature. The servants of Asgund were sent out into all corners of the world to protect and maintain the balance of nature.

The World in Balance

The believers in the Ghedhun try to keep balance in all that they do. It is their sacred duty to help Asgund in preserving life and the balance of the world. Every disease or misfortune has its source in a disturbed balance either in the natural or the spirit world.
