Origins
Tristindal like many great things started as an idea. A crazed mushroom fiend and a Cave Troll met one another after the collapse of their old home and so formed the idea of Tristindal, the concept was these two very different men wished for a save haven one secure and solid enough that should another collapse happen they will survive regardless. As time passed stranglers dug into the mines and began to build a home for themselves within the massive cavern dug by the two, at first this caused outrage and anger from the original settlers but as time went on the newcomers and settlers eventually got along with one single-minded ideal "The way to freedom is through sweat stone and toil!" and so they cavern grew and as it did more people came. This was the beginning of something great and they all agreed upon the name Tristindal, one of power and stalwart defense of their ideals and way of life in the decades to come.

The Grand Cavern: Soon after the first three newcomers came plans for a giant Two-hundred and fifty Kilometer cavern began and thus the ideal and perimeter of "The Grand Cavern" began.

One Forth Fold: It came to be as they had dug one fourth of the cavern or Sixty Two Kilometers had been dug a celebration was held and the now six "Settlers" prayed to Cavilon and Drank and made marry.

Ideology
The common placed Ideology of Tristindal is that of "Freedom is within the stone's womb." it is the key term that has the deepest and honorable meaning in Tristindal. This terms simply means "You are born of stone and may one day die in stone returning to it." In other words the greatest honor a man of Tristindal or even a woman or child is to die doing not only what one loves but doing so inside the caves. This does not mean that other religions are not accepted it simply means that the main cavern is home to this ideal and it is a write of the dead to die to the stone to be encased in it solidly and wholly.

Religion

Influential Factors of Culture
