Saemonite Mythology (Origo Mundi Map Game)

Saemonite Mythology is a body of myths originating from the Realm of Northern Saemonites as a way to explain the nature of the world.

Etymology

The conception of mythological gods and deities has existed since the movement of the Saemonites from a nomadic empire into an absolute monarchy, with the Wars against the Saemonites being key signatures signifying that the ruling dynasty of the Saemonite Empire having lost favoritism among the gods.

Many citizens within the Northern Realm considered the gods to be of a higher level of being, being transcendent of time and reality. Many Saemonites would base specific events both locally and nationally as being influenced or directly affected by the gods, from a good agricultural harvest to the end of the ruling dynasty.
