Brief Story
The Faith of Erion was founded by Palladus Avalum I, after the paladin received a message from Erion Himself in His phoenix form, guiding him and his people, enslaved by the Gorn Empire, to the territory of Avaloria shortly before the Cataclism that created the Desert of Gorn. He later wrote the tome that would be known as The Book of The Phoenix, containing all of the beliefs of the Erionian religion, and founded both the Church of Erion and the Paladin Order of Erion.

The Age of Light and Dark witnessed the rise of the Faith of Erion, as it became the number one religion in Avaloria. Later, it'd spread to Breniel and Heartland, although never reaching the amount of popularity from its homeland. It also witnessed, however, the darkest time in the history of the Erionian religion: the rule of King Daemon Avallum the Usurper, who converted the religion into a massive fundamentalist system, oppressing all nonbelievers. It was later restored to its old ways by King Raphalor Avallum I.
