Editing Spolitism for Bogmoth (section)

===Dawn===
At the Dawn, Spolitism did not fully exist, as Lendarsh had achieved hegemony throughout Pelanda during the Gray Age, partly by reestablising the Jernotian High Gods.

Contrary to popular belief, Spolitism did not develop in response to Nysalor.  Rather, Spolitism's practices of propitiation and human sacrifice were rediscovered when the Aldryami reforested Pelanda.  By propitiating resurgent nature, Northern communities were able to survive while surrounded by Elven forests.

Spolitism became useful against Nysalor, as its darkness magic was both powerful and not easily assimilated by Nysalor's Bright Empire.  Spol and its Elven allies resisted both Dara Happa and Nysalor for generations.  In part, this was due to powerful magics that enshrouded Pelanda is Shadow, weakening the magics of Light and Sky and Fire.  The Aldryami continued an alliance of sorts with the Empire of Gloom, and they were reveared, especially in the Gardens of Karresh.
