RELIGION
 

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.
