The Adoration of the Light

Gods & Religions of Rathnir  The Birth of the Adoration of the Light 

There once was a man who travelled far away, across many empires. He wasn’t any different from the other, he didn’t need much to feel happiness and would live off with whatever would be at his reach. Until one day, the sun was shining right on top of him, an eagle flies down towards him, shining like a star, and hands him a book with the message of God. The man is shocked by this event and thought that the heat from the sun had made him go crazy, but he wasn’t going crazy, he saw the eagle again, sitting on top of a tree, he asked the eagle, “Who are you, and what do you want from me?”

The eagle simply stared towards the man’s eyes, “I am the messenger, God chose me to enlighten you, by giving you the ability of language and of mastering the beauty of architecture” said the eagle without even opening his mouth. “Teach the people of your surroundings with the arts of speech and architecture.” said the eagle. The man was speechless, but he believed his eyes. He took the book and set foot towards many lands, and share the message of God. The eagle flew away into the skies.

''' What Was the Message of God? ''' The message of god was written in a language that no one was able to speak in, other than the man himself, who is known as the enlightened. He was gifted by God, the art of speech. The enlightened would master the art of writing and transcribe the message about God’s demand. He would also write about his adventures through the Lands of Rathnir.

 The Calendar: 

The Adoration of the Light’s Calendar (ALC) is one of the most important aspect of the religion that its followers watch with attention. It’s all about cultivating lands and living a half nomadic life. At the respective seasons. There are 4 seasons, 8 months, and in each month, there are 15 days, with one exception being the month of Lecemkcwm, which has 16 days.

* Note: 1hour irl = 1day in mc.

There are 4 seasons who are divided in two categories. Swrdefodeamc(Lecemkcwm+Voffemkcwm) and Enneklodeam(Ramknolsx+Dxiciddremk). In the Swrdefodeamc period, the followers of the Adoration of the Light, have found a land where they’ve settled and cultivate the land they’ve settled. In the second period of the year, known as Enneklodeam, the followers stop cultivating and travel far away, to find a place to settle to at the very end of the period. The new year is celebrated every day on the last day of Dxiciddremk.

''' How should a follower of the AL act? ''' A follower should respect every living being that exists in the world. Which is why the followers have to be vegan. Its duty is also to spread the message of God. They should act calm and never anger themselves or anger the others voluntarily. Non-followers of the AL are considered as inferiors but should not be treated unfair, because if God pardons its followers, its followers can and have to pardon the non-followers of the AL as well. One day will come, when the whole world will become followers of the AL and God will bring down from the sky, a great palace, which would end the preparation of the next life in the over world.

 The Reformist Priest 

The Reformist Priest, also known as diditornot, or by his priest name "Ad-Wedosomieonokas Laxioka", heard the voices of the enlightened one, he had died, and the book was gone with him. But his spirit still lives on, and he has transmitted his knowledge to diditornot. Diditornot decided to go on an adventure to settle a place, for it to be the heart of the Adoration of the Light. While he was travelling a long way where to settle, he decided to reform the religion, because believes that the spirit was corrupted, and that his knowledge wasn't supposed to be shared after his death. So he rewrote the message of God, so that the sacred texts could actually make sense. He believed that; [A follower should respect every living being that exists in the world, but for reasons of survival, he decided to allow the followers to eat meat, till they treated their animals well, otherwise they'll be cursed. Its duty is also to spread the message of God. They should act calm and never anger themselves or anger the others voluntarily. Non-followers of the AL are considered as inferiors but should not be treated unfair, because if God pardons its followers, its followers can and have to pardon the non-followers of the AL as well. One day will come, when the whole world will become followers of the AL and God will bring down from the sky, a great palace, which would end the preparation of the next life in the over world.] He also redesigned the ALC, making it more practical and less irregular than the original one, by creating a calendar based on the movement of the sun, instead of counting days and nights. Months are known as Bielgoskik; Laskosbielgoskik(January), Manlobielgoskik(February), Smeksosbielgoskik(March), Ilaskosbielgoskik(April), Imanlobielgoskik(May), Ismeksosbielgoskik(June), Onlaskosbielgoskik(July), Onmanlobielgoskik(August), Onsmeksosbielgoskik(September), Laslaskosbielgoskik(October), Lasmanlobielgoskik(November) and Lassmeksosbielgoskik(December). [17th of July 2021 (Gregorian Calendar) = 17th of Onlaskosbielgoskik 20 (Reformed ALC)].
