Story of Nárhit
Background
The religion was conceived at a time where the Palesh people still lived in the East Keltian Steppe, thus the locations in the story are located there.
Before Nárhit's Travels
The king of the gods, Ánu, received a prophecy that, before long, a single man would overtake his popularity. Angered, he sent upon a famine that would decimate the steppe cities and nearly destroying the Palesmenian way of life. This lead to many people abandoning their artisan way of life and becoming traders, wandering the steppes in the hopes of scavenging food for their families.
The Story, In Short
Nárhit, a steppe trader looking for food, was contacted by an old man in the inner quarters of the city of Vísbad, who told the young trader of a Héhod, a small sun made out of many pieces located in several cities throughout the steppe in return for the location of a secret grain warehouse. Nárhit decides to go on this quest and goes to many cities and gets the peaces, except for at the city of RésiKót. When he reports back to the old man that he could not find the last piece, the man kills Nárhit. It is then revealed that the old man had the last peace, and wanted to get the rest of the pieces from the young trader This lead to many people treating this man as a martyr in the struggle for survival. His popularity caused many people to abandon the way of Ánu,
