The Children of Curiosity

Worship practices

The followers of Corellon are primarily called “The Children of Curiosity” throughout Allion, they stand for the right to pursue whatever their interests lie in, Most of these faithful belong to the vast but spread out elven race, however it isn’t rare to see other races among the faithful.

There is not a set way for these children to express their faith for their god, as stating their own curiosity is considered to be the best way to express worship and belief, as this was the way they believe their god had lived.

The Children of Curiosity have only a few “rules” in place in their religion, as rules are made to limit one and one’s curiosity, it is to respect joy, and never do harm upon one’s joy, even if it means leaving your curiosity unanswered.

Myths and Legends

It has been said that Corellon once wandered the material plane as one of his faithful, he held the title of “Titan of Curiosity” he never stayed in a single place for long, as his habit for exploring and discovering new lands and questions guided him.

A tale passed down in the religion by the older elves tells of the appearance and prowess of their god, Corellon had the appearance of an elf dressed in clothes made of the land, roaming, he wielded two blades by his side everywhere he went, scouting majestic antlers from his head. Some variations of this tale even include the probes of Corellon in combat, light on his feet and capable of teleportation to wherever he wanted, crossing the battlefield in an instant. His blades dancing through the air and his foes. This variation of the tale led to the creation of a fighting style within the religion where the flowing moves of martial arts look so smooth it could be prescribed as a dance.

There is a legend that Corellon will appear during the Festival of Questions to single Curious one, in the form of an animal, with only a single constant, no matter what animal has been seen or sighted, it always had two pale white antlers sticking out from his head.

Rites of passage

The Festival of Questions, a festival where the children of the religion that reached adolescence in the past year partake in, as a grand festival in Imanthyr during Spring draws in faithful from across Allion, where this celebration will be held, for the following week the young, will receive a list with questions which they are asked to find the answers to, to stimulate their curiosity, these questions have answers in and outside of the city. These questions stand symbolic as it requires the children to travel into the unknown and make discoveries.

How does this religion clash with others

The Children of Curiosity have always been at strained relations with the Followers of Aanar, as their curiosity has a tendency to go against the order in place.

Corellon is a devout follower of Llira who respects joy and life, which has translated over to the Children of Curiosity having immense respect for her followers.

Corellon has always been at odds with one of his children Lloth, the patron of the drow, and this translated over to their respective followers

In General, like Llira, Correlon has issues with religions that promote death, harm, misery and despair, and supports the religions that support happiness, joy, life and freedom
