There is much speculation on the origin of Lucerna, but much of the knowledge has long been lost...

While the intricacies of these gods has been lost over the years, they continue to be the prominent figures in Lucernan religions to this day. Lepidlanvhi, representing the sun, light, order, pride, and kindness is the more popular god among most anthroids, with the Guiding Light religion being the largest practiced in the world. Her symbol is often three pairs of hands, paws or hooves cupping the sun and is most found etched on temples, safe houses and even over the thresholds of doors of those who practice.  Those following the Guiding Light are often said to be stern, yet kind, and prioritize practices of charity, selflessness and protection.

Not much is remembered of Chiroptanvhi as many of the ancient etchings and sculptures of him and his creations, the battai, have been destroyed. During the height of the corruption the other anthroids were led to believe that by eliminating the cause of the corruption, the battai, that the tainted magics would stop the consumption of the world and its inhabitants, or at least slow down drastically. This proved to be untrue, as the eradication of the battai only seemed to increase the corruptions influence on anthroids. Those remaining speculate that nearly 70% of the world's population has fallen to the tainted magic.
Chiroptanvhi's religion has long since died, with the name of it stricken from what's left of the Motti's tomes of knowledge. It is widely believed that Chiroptanvhi, often referred to as the God of Darkness, created the battai to spread the corruption and represents cold, darkness, death and envy.

The darkness swallows all who wander into it.
There are no second chances for the ones who forget.
For as long as anyone can remember,
the darkness has owned the night and claims all lives of those who disrespect it. 

Not much is known about how the corruption came about or all that cause it to spread so voraciously, but what is known is that it is extremely dangerous. Corruption of the environment contorts the beasts and flora within it, causing them to be consumed by poisonous tainted essence. Beasts and flora tainted by the corruption are not consumable nor purifiable by just any anthroid, though it is rumored that Lepidlanvhi herself has the ability to purify corruption within the environment. Dozens of centuries have passed without an anthroid witnessing Lepidlanvhi or her grace in person. Some speculate the corruption has claimed her in the mortal plane, ascending her back to the heavens. Others speculate that she roams among Lucerna, purifying what she can to provide safe places for her motti to live.
Despite this, there is no known cure for becoming tainted by the corruption when it comes to anthroids. Motti will wither within a decade of becoming corrupted, losing their antenna and the ability to perform magic. It is a slow, damning illness that causes brittle bones and chronic, sharp pain all the way into the soul. All light and color leaves anthroids who are affected, eventually leaving them a faded purple-grey to a purple-black color, absent of markings with purple eyes.
