Duodecim

Followers of the Duodecim believe in a world ruled by 12 Gods and Goddesses, similar to other polytheistic cultures. Depending upon your upbringing and values, you might favor one element (or god) over another. The basis for the sisters stems from this belief. The Duodecim are specifically celebrated on a yearly basis, each receiving one wet and dry season before the next it held on high. There are many superstitions and legends about what birth means during each of these years.

Examples:


 * It is considered very bad luck to foal during the years of Nox or Timor and many mares will refuse to breed.
 * Foals born during the year of Vita are usually very celebrated.
 * Foals born during the year of Sapientia are often times considered to be the reincarnated souls of past horses.
 * Foals born during the year of Caussa tend to be considered more intelligence than others.

Though these things are believed by some, there could be as little or as much truth to them as you'd like. The Duodecim is the most widespread religion on the island and even those that do not follow it observe the attachment of their Gods to the year for timekeeping purposes if nothing else.
