From publisher blurb:
Over a thousand years ago in the area that is now the Untamed Gauntlet, the Temple of Lorium performed blessings for the people from the gods. The Temple of Lorium was polytheistic and was never intended to be ruled by a single god. Prior to the Schism, individuals would travel for days to gain blessings from the priests that presided at the temple. As the war continued, those travelling for blessings diminished due to the heightened danger. With the gods being divided, this trickled down to the priests causing them to choose sides. With the priests waging their own war amongst themselves, the temple was destroyed with Pravus and the priests that fought by his side claiming victory.
Pravus was a dedicated follower of Ragnar and decided to keep hold of the temple. Pravus and his fellow priests headed under the temple to wait out the war and maintain prayer to Ragnar. With continued dedication to Ragnar, the god bestowed upon Pravus the knowledge of a ritual called Everlife.
The Ritual of Everlife was a guarded secret that wasn’t widely shared with mortals. This ritual grants priests that Ragnar deemed worthy the ability to gain an everlasting unlife to continue their worship.
