The Punishments
An old scroll describes it as below:
————————————————————
At first, there was nothing. Things seemed as good as they could have been.
When the gods’ rage fell upon the world, the impending doom will be what we saw.
“The Flakes” came first and brought coldness and weakness to humans. Snow starts its invasion, wiping the warmth out of the earth. It never stops, like a neverending curse.
“The Blood” would then drip from the sky, declaring as if it was never an ally. The red liquid evaporates the body when in contact, drilling into veins to decay the healthy.
“The Flame” was the last to come. Devouring all, and everything was gone. Souls uprose from the deepest soil. Fire submerged into the planet’s core.
One only way to stop the rage is to brighten the god, Hjúki and Bil, who sees from afar.
Bil wants nothing but tranquility, when peace exists it would not persist.
Hjúki desires a living gift, so sacrifice life no matter what gives.
They are two but one of a kind, deep in the ground yet high in the sky.
An apostle might appear in the shape of a man, they do what they say and pray for the dead.

The title of the scroll says “Tales of the Lunarity.”
If not mistaken, this should be what the religion here is about. Truly weird and incomprehensible.
