The Old Way

Return to theology.

The Old Way or The Old Ways are terms for human religions who worship the Godhead in his aspect as the Skyfather, or Perkunnos, as opposed to Theos. The old way also acknowledges two other gods, Kosma, the Earth Mother and Apollon, the incandescent sun and aspect of the youthful beauty of men. The old way is still practiced by the Eleum Loyce Vanir, and aspects of it still remain in the rites of the Cambrians and the Stromgarde Aesir.

Modern practice of the old way is tolerated in Drangleic, although the divine inquisition holds it in great suspicion. Nonetheless, Inquisitioners are able to see past this, including to respect Cambrian slayers.

There are rumors that druids, hermits, and hedge-witches continue to practice ancient rites of the old way.
