Azkavlandian mythology

Akavlandian mythology is the folk religion of the inhabitants of Azkavland, a nation-tribe in eastern Serbia.

Lokve and the Elder of the Moon
In the early 9th century A.D, the Azkavlandian prophet Lokve (LOCK-vay) had a vision of the Elder of the Moon, a moon god that slept on the moon when it was not full.

On full moons, Lokve and his followers would sing the Awakening Prayer, to wake the Elder so that he would not fall of the moon. He would move to a star when awakened, and go back to the moon the following night.. The other Azkavlandians said he was a madman. One day, Azkavlandian soldiers seized Lokve during an Awakening Prayer, and executed him by impaling him into a wooden pole.

Dragons
In Azkavlandian mythology, there are two types of dragons. There are Dark Dagons and Light Dragons. Both types of dragons are conjoined twins attached by a 3-foot long cord attached to each dragon's ear. Dragons are the size of humans.

Light Dragon
Light Dragons are beige dragons that serve the Elder of the Moon. They live in clouds. They fight against Dark Dragons.

Dark Dragons
Dark Dragons are black with red eyes, and they live inside of mountains, and come out to terrorize Azkavlandians. Priests must say the Prayer of Protection on the last day of the month, because Dark Dragons attack on the night of the last day of the month.

Dragon Claws
Dragon Claws are sacred objects that are believed to be severed arms of Dragons. Dark Dragon claws are believed to bring bad luck, and are burned when found. Light Dragon claws are believed to bring good luck, and are kept by priests. Priests use them to heal people or bring people luck when in need.

Syncretic Post-Christianization religion
After the Christianization of Azkavland by Hungarian missionaries, wooden idols of the Elder of the Moon and Lokve were burnt in bonfires, with devastated Azkavlandians watching. Scriptures were also burned along with dragon claws.

the conversion to Christianity did not quite succeed. The Azkavlandians continued to worship the Elder of the Moon and Lokve, except Lokve was represented by Hungarian saint Andrew Zorard, and the Elder of the Moon was represented by a crucifix. Light Dragons became known as angels, and Dark Dragons became known as demons. However, they were still conjoined by a cord attached to the ear.
