Magic and witchcraft is a topic not many in Bronmir wishes to talk about.

Few are brave - or greedy enough to dabble in the spirits forbidden magic, and those who do must be in perfect harmony in both mind and soul in forder to keep these enormous forces in balance.

Small amounts of magic isn’t life-threatening and is used by the wise ones to see the future in dreams or by priests who wants to comunicate with the gods, while large amounts of magic is used by those who wants to be powerful or wise without putting in the work.

A priest funktions as kind of a religous advicer.

They don’t speak/communicate directly with the gods, but recieve signs, visions in the form of hallucinations or dreams. If the priest wishes to ask the gods something or for other reasons contact them, they will use small amounts of magic to help the trance along.

Each god has a priest (except Aiti) who represents their ideals and can advice the commoners without warping their words beyond recognition and misguide the masses to their own advantage. 

Each priest is chosen by their predicessor and is so because they in some way embody the god’s beliefs and ideals with a pure heart. They are also judged by the gods themselves.

Law and order is upheld by the kings garde (in the capital) also called “knights”, and by normal guards in the smaller cities and towns.

Guards are chosen by the chieften in the smaller cities and by a general in the kings garde.
