Perhaps the world is in need of such example.

THE SUNDERED ENCLAVE

2093 AC
"The Sundered Enclave opens its doors, a group of Ymir and Pantheon Worshippers wishing to establish a Church at the foot of Mount Grimhjall."

A group of like-minded individuals that wish to reorganize the nearly forgotten religion of Ymir. Few recall the great sacrifice that was performed by Ymir to preserve the lives of Humanity, and even fewer remember the great deeds Ymir did before that. The Sundered Enclave, led by Grandmaster Bartholomew Wilkins who's a priest of Ymir, wish to begin expeditions to reclaim Mount Grimhjall from its largely abandoned state. Too long have demons lived in the heart of Vdalion's old capital, and too long have they been a stain on the land that Ymir gave his children to protect. It is time to assume responsibility and embrace a new era for the Shattered Lands. 

Those Wishing to Join send a message to Bartholomew Wilkins, or come talk to him in the Ten's Citadel.

Enough have been gathered.
It is time to open the doors of the hall to the outside.

SERMONS AND RITUALS

Rites and Practices:
Followers of Ymir must follow 3 important Tenets for the church, Live, Pray and Protect your Prayer Grounds. These three rules can be interpreted any way that followers would wish to develop according to their faith's specialization. Many followers can decide to follow a specific Pantheon God aside from Ymir, to worship that aspect of him alongside Ymir himself. This way, their tenets and rites changes according to what god they would follow. Priests can only form part of this specialization, and can be done so in order to fully develop themselves as worshippers of the Sundered Faith. Following Ymir should never interfere with one's duties if they pertain to one of the Aspects, such as being in a different order/church in service of a god mentioned in the Oath of Honor. Specializing in more than one god is always recommended when it is done to try to better understand Ymir as a whole, in his infinite magnitude.

The Sundered Enclave and its followers must always seek to learn more about the world around them, and will do so passively so long as they enjoy their life and the fruits born from Ymir's Sacrifice. Back in the day in a past long gone, many used to worship Ymir's sacrifice by praising Martyrdom and attempting to achieve it, however as of recent with the new organization, this form of worship has been deemed too dangerous. Instead, we honor Ymir's sacrifice by enjoying what he achieved with it, which is the chance for us to enjoy our lives in our respective ways and manners. Be it through embodying Athelios' judgement or Ualdir's ambition, one has many possibilities to worship Ymir.

Sermons:
Sermons in the Sundered Enclave are not one sided for a Priest, they are talks where people's lives are discussed as many of Ymir's history is debated and spoken about. They serve as Grand Debates within Ymirholl that can elaborate on one's knowledge and further their ideas. This is done through a stick which is passed around whomever may wish to speak their piece while being directed by a Priest who will serve as Arbiter for these discussions to make sure they are not out of place, disorderly or simply done with malicious intent. This Sermon is done in an attempt of better learning the ideas of others and what they have come to know during their lives.

Personal Prayer:
There are times where a prayer is needed between a small set of individuals, usually 3 or 2. This prayer is rigid, as opposed to many of the other teachings of the Sundered Enclave. It is a prayer that can be directed to Ymir and any god which is requested off of a Priest or Initiate. If none is requested, then the general prayer may be used, if one is requested, then one can use the other prayer. They are simple, and both begin with the same stance. One must clap their hands once to call the attention of the heavens onto themselves, and then utter the following depending on the situation.

General Prayer: "The greatest of gods, Amier, I call upon thee; O' great father, bless this one like you have blessed all the sons of man before." After which, the person being prayed to will be instructed to respond with "Hail Amier." Ymir or Amier are interchangeable.

Specific Prayer: "Hail Amier, god of space and humanity. Grant this child the gift of your shards, and guide them forward in the troubling times ahead," After which, the priest will add onto the prayer by saying one of the following.

"Athelios, show your child the strength of duality, to not weigh one method too far over another. And redeem those lost."
"Nemea, grant your child your merciful admiration, the willpower to struggle through hardship. And guidance to their path."
"Enarr, allow your child a fragment of your wisdom, the ability to sail through any sea. And banish any storm in their way."
"Gala, reveal your child foresight of the future, the sight to see true from false. And show ways never seen before."
"Aschea, boon your child with their family, the power to endure pious life for salvation. And penance for our mistakes."
"Vdali, permit your child tranquility, the cold solitude needed for peace. And the ability to avoid all disasters."
"Chireus, give your child bravery for the unknown, the adventuring spirit to seek the edge of all maps. And the bravado for change."
"Ualdir, share with your child ambition for victory, the honor of a true warrior. And greatness in all battles."
"Mestra, forge your child's dreams, the inspiration for musehood. And aptitude for their crafts."
"Caius, find love for your child, eventual eternal rest for their soul. And the end of their long treacherous paths." (usually reserved for funerals)

There are no Grand Rites as of the current moment for the faith.
