Editing Category:Lords of Kobol

Colonial religion is centered on the Lords of Kobol, analogous to the [[w:List of Greek mythological figures|Greek Gods]].

According to the [[Sacred Scrolls]], the gods once shared a paradise-like existence with the people of [[Kobol (TOS)|Kobol]]. Later circumstances forced the exodus of the human population of Kobol to [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|the Twelve Colonies]] and [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], and lead to Athena's suicide. See [[History of the Twelve Colonies]] for more.

The existence of the Lords of Kobol is attested to by the survival of numerous artifacts, including the [[Arrow of Apollo]], the [[Tomb of Athena]] and the [[Gates of Hera]]. However, although she accepts their historicity, [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]], a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]], has called their divinity into question.

There is a notion in fan circles that there are twelve lords of Kobol, by analogy to the twelve Cylon models and twelve Colonies, and perhaps the [[Wikipedia:Twelve Olympians|Twelve Olympians]] of greek mythology. A post in RDM's blog loosely addresses this.

:Q: "Twelve cylon models and twelve Olympian gods seems too much of coincidence to me. Is there any connection? "
:RDM: And Twelve Colonies. Coincidence....?"<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/03/index.html#a000023|title=RDM Blog|date=12 March 2005|accessdate=|last=Moore|first=Ronald D.|format=|language=}}</ref>
