Aregar
Not far from the city Gallieham lies a large ruin that is believed to be the home of an ancient religion that died out two thousands years ago. What is left is a walls and a floor of a stone building. It has a large central room with a few smaller rooms off to each side. Each of the left walls are covered thousands of carvings of symmetrical shapes. The only word that has been found at the site was Aregar in the center of the building carved into the floor. The building its self is balanced not just in how it was built but also with the nature that surrounds it. Buried in a corner of the ruins was a void created in the wall after the building had been built. In the void was a book that talked about the at the time unnamed religion. Since then though historians have referred to the religion as Aregar, because of it was the only word carved at the site.
All historians know about the religion has been from a book that was written by an injured wander. Apparently they cared for him for about a year while he recovered from an unnamed ailment. Will healing he wrote about this antiquated religion as he called it. He wrote that the group believed in balance in everything, but especially nature, and self. He added a list of virtues that they also sought after. The list was, acceptance, honesty temperance, compassion, respect, responsibility, perseverance and humility. In his writings he describes elaborate celebrations that were said to take place four times a year. These elaborate celebrations the devotees were dressed elaborately with what he described as outfits that sparkled, or jingled with each step. During these elaborate celebrations there was a lot of music and dance. Apparently each devotee of the religion was to bring a song, musical instrument or dance for the celebrations. Two of these celebrations lasted from dawn to the following dawn. The traveler also could not understand why both men and women were dressed so alike. He found that to be distasteful. He also went on to say that while there was a leadership structure he did not understand it as both men and women held similar roles. He stated if there was a head of the religion he didn't know because all were treated equally. That is all that the wander wrote. there are some historians continuing to studying the ruins trying to understand it more.
