Introduction to Drolism - The Gods

Many of the rich and mysterious cultural traditions of Iego stem from the planet's native religion, Drolism.

Drolism, known in Iegoan as Droltara, centers around the worship of a trinity of deities: Drol, the primary deity and namesake of the religion; his daughter, Ashi; and his son, Dasho. The deities themselves are the manifestations of different aspects of the life breath or energy of the universe. This is a Force-based religion, so "life breath" can be interpreted as meaning the Force itself.

There are many parallels between Drolism and the religion of the Mortis Gods. They are both Force-based religions centering around the worship of three deities--represented as a father, a son, and a daughter--so some scholars believe they may have originated from the same ancient belief system.

Drol, God of All Things, Supreme Lord of Iego, is the incarnation of the life breath of the universe. He is a neutral deity, as he is capable of both protecting and punishing the people of Iego, hence why the Separatists exploited people's faith in him to cover up their operations on the planet. He is strongly associated with storms--something that both nourishes and harms--and his primary symbols are water and lightning, which are deemed sacred. The Mortis God he is analogous to is the Father.

Ashi, Goddess of Light, Lady of Mercy, is the daughter of Drol. She is strongly associated with the Moons of Iego and the native Diathim, also known as "angels," who are said to have been created in her image. From an outside perspective, she represents an incarnation of the Light Side of the Force. The Mortis God she is analogous to is the Daughter. One of the most widely practiced sects of Drolism is dedicated to her, known as Ashideyi, or the Way of Ashi. A primary feature of this sect is its emphasis on medicine and healing; as a result, its followers on average have long and ailment-free lifespans, which is ultimately the basis of the belief that Iegoans are immortal.

Dasho, God of Darkness, Lord of Chaos, is the son of Drol. He is strongly associated with the underground caverns of Iego and the native Maelibi, also known as "demons," who are said to have been created in his image. From an outside perspective, he represents an incarnation of the Dark Side of the Force. The Mortis God he is analogous to is the Son. Legend has it that a deviant sect of Drolism exists known as Dashodeyi, or the Way of Dasho, that practices black magic in the form of ritual sacrifices.
