Story for the Day: The Divine Connection

While Frewyns and Galleisians worship many gods, they do not worship every god there is.

Story for the Day: The Gods' Stone

Left from Frewyn's prehistory, the Gods' Stones, or the Gods' Seats as they are known in the south, are massive stones, dressed and decorated with images from the kingdom's past. Legend says that these stones were once the seats of the Gods, where doting devotees could come and offer tribute to their Gods in person, and while many of these stones only exist in theory, two of them exists in fact-- rather, three.
