Ancient Triquatra
Because of the great Roman influence the Religion of Triquatra
was much the same as that of earlier Roman life but as time passed
the people of Triquatra began to base the Roman religion on the
land in which they lived, for instance they based their gods on
the geography of the island and gave thanks to these gods for what
they had on the island. Although the Triquatrians had based their
religion on the Roman beliefs they decided that they wanted to escape
the problems the Romans had by changing the names and ideas the
Romans had:
· Rethius (Jupiter) was seen as being the god of Amon Gwareth:
the Mountain Region.
· Bundune (Bacchus) was seen as being the god of Dorthonion:
the Forest Region.
· Cardios (Neptune) was seen as the being the god of Shaffera:
the Farming and Forest Region.
The people of Triquatra believed that the gods worked together
to give them their land and their survival just as they had to work
together to supply each other with the resources needed to survive.
They believed in many other gods but found that the three gods of
the land were the most important and all that they had on the island
revolved around these gods.
They built many shrines and statues to worship these gods all over
Triquatra. Including a major shrine in Centos of all three gods
and a shrine in the corresponding city.
Triquatra Now
This religion was practised all over the island and can still be
seen today, with statues and buildings remaining in most of the
cities, this religion was practised for over one thousand years
until the Portuguese influence in the Late Middle Ages, where the
religion of Christianity was brought to the people of Triquatra.
Although they did not accept this religion straight away they eventually
accepted it allowing it in to their lives and culture. After many
years Triquatrian religion died out and Christianity became the
most practised religion in Triquatra, this remains that way today.
