[center][h3][color=0054a6]The Children of Artemon[/color][/h3][/center] In truth, the children existed in a somewhat anarchic state. They did desire the hierarchy, the holy harmony, of the their old homeland and still considered themselves subjects of the king. But among them he had no representative, in fact their numbers were almost entirely lacking in noble blood. The cult was primarily one for commoners, especially the middles class, and their forays into the halls of power tended to be limited to being administrative middlemen and the informal influence important crafts guilds can wield. The closest figure to a leader they had was Theldaneth, an administrator who had in no small part been responsible for the organisation of their voyage. With the respect that earned him, in addition to his experience, it became natural that people sought his council as he oversaw the orderly construction of their new home. He had never been considered much more than just another grey clerk, but what this new land would make of him remains to see. G/D) The children desired to resume practising their faith and re-establish contact with the gods, to be able to practise their religion was after all why they had come to this place. Proper veneration of the gods demands proper ritual, which in turn requires places and objects of worship. Among the numerous artisans a spirit of competition developed, many desired to make their imprint by being among the first to create worthy idols to their gods. Masons, carpenters, woodcarvers, sculptors, jewellers, blacksmiths, every type of artist and artisan who had a stake in the game set forth into the nearby lands seeking metals, clay, stones, trees, amber, anything their hands could work with which was of quality that would please the gods. They were duly reminded to keep their heads cool and not get themselves into danger as they explored the nearby lands. Notably the first idol which was to be made was not to Artemon himself, but to Orowuen, king of the gods. For he was the first among the gods and so he would be the first to be honoured.
