Etymology

Dlroch'veldr is a term derived from two linguistic components: the root Dlroch-, referencing the Wolhos deity "Dlrocha" often associated with guiding principles and the universe's moral structure, and the suffix -'veldr, similar in function to "-ism" in modern languages, denoting adherence to a belief or doctrine. Together, "Dlroch'veldr" translates to "the teachings or faith of Dlrocha," encapsulating the spiritual guidelines attributed to the deity. Historically, the term describes the faith, its followers, places of worship, and sacred texts.

Symbols

Dlrochsteg

The Dlrochsteg is a revered emblem central to the tenets of Dlroch'veldr, symbolizing much more than a mere decorative insignia. It encapsulates profound spiritual and philosophical meanings tied to the origins of existence, life's cyclical nature, fertility, and the intrinsic ecstasy one can experience in life.

Derived from an abstract depiction of copulation, the Dlrochsteg embodies the faith's veneration of this act as the cornerstone of universe creation and life propagation. It underscores the faith's belief that this union, in its most intimate and primal form, is symbolic of life's most essential forces and mysteries.

In its design, the Dlrochsteg is bifurcated into two distinct yet harmonious components. The elevated, detached segment symbolizes the phallus, representing male masculinity, strength, and vigor. Conversely, the lower separate section is indicative of the female vulva, signifying femininity, creation, and nurture.

While there exist myriad stylized versions of this emblem, each with its artistic interpretations and nuances, the foundational shape and the deep-seated symbolism it carries remains universally recognized and revered among its followers. As a representation of unity, balance, and the powerful forces of life, the Dlrochsteg serves as a profound reminder of the faith's teachings and beliefs.

Beliefs

Dlrow-L’cha Creation Myth

The Dlrow-L’cha Creation Myth is the foundational narrative of the cosmos according to the religious beliefs of the Wolgos. This myth delineates the birth of the universe, the creation of their supreme deities, and the establishment of the world of Gotha.

• The Ethereal Haither Elks: Dlrow and L’cha

Before time itself had a name, an immeasurable void of silence and darkness sprawled. Amidst this abyss, two luminous figures meandered: Dlrow, the majestic male Haither, shimmered with a cold, blue aura, his antlers resembling ancient tree branches capturing whispers of unborn galaxies; and L’cha, resplendent with a warm, golden hue, whose every graceful step resembled ripples across a tranquil cosmic pond. Their existence, though eternal, was marked by solitude.

The universe, in its embryonic silence, orchestrated a fateful convergence of their paths. Drawn irresistibly together, a celestial dance ensued. Their dance was not merely of form but of energies intertwining, the void around them pulsating with the energy and force they emanated. When they finally united, it was a celestial outburst so radiant that it painted the void with brilliant swathes of colour and energy.

• Birth of Dlrocha and the Cosmos

From this celestial union arose Dlrocha, a deity who inherited the combined vigor and essence of Dlrow and L’cha. With a  precision and an artistry, he moulded the remnants of his parents into a grand cosmic artwork. Their united resplendent light birthed the Alir, a radiant sun which became Dlrocha’s throne. The sporadic sparks, reminiscent of their divine dance, became the guiding stars studding the dark oblivion beyond, while their ethereal remnants turned to dust and coalesced into the planets and other celestial bodies.

• Emergence of H’ghes (Tyr)

From the union of Dlrow and L’cha's ethereal blood and light, Dlrocha sculpted another deity, H’ghes. Cloaked in a resplendent red aura of fiery light, she was destined to be Dlrocha's muse and collaborator in creation, her glow a perpetual bringer of fertility of life to universe.

• Creation of Gotha

In their expressions of their love, H’ghes  caused Dlrocha to spew his seed on the celestial body of Gotha. Dlrocha’s potent seed birthed its expansive oceans and pulsating life. Their combined affections also gave rise to the Haither spirits, ethereal custodians of Gotha’s natural wonders, who govern the forces and mysteries of nature and infused the world with mystic energies.

• Cultural Significance

This myth, steeped in imagery and symbolism, is the lifeblood of Wolgos’ spiritual and cultural traditions. Ceremonies, rituals, and iconic symbols—most notably the Dlrochsteg—are painted with scenes from this epic tale.
