Greulokin (culture)
Hail to the Greulokin, chosen sons and daughters of Prohen who cuts and measures the weave of men's lives, the father of dutiful Velos, and true king of the Gods of Aeras! Once upon a time they were ascendant, overlords of a great kingdom composed of other southern Sjalvolki tribes forced into paying tribute. They were ruled by the Teyberl Kings, and in contrast to modern Sjalvolki theology insisted that it was the god of fate who was foremost among the pantheon, for it was he who commanded Velos to grant man his gifts and their stipulations. In practice the functional differences caused by this alteration were few outside of basic rituals, but while the Teyberl Kings were strong it allowed them to justify their role as paramount clan. Times were good.
And then the Teyberl Kings fell to squabbling amongst themselves. The Great Kingdom of the Greulokin was lost in just one generation of strife as its tributaries revolted, and its ruling clans were forced to moderate their pride. Still, the Greulokin carry on practicing their oddly reorganized pantheon, and they have never forgotten that they were once kings among men.
