Soledom

Soledom, or Valrean Soleannen is a polytheistic branch of the Soleannen doctrine. It was founded after the Valrean Holy War and Simulami Inquisition.

Information
Soledom is a complex and diverse system of beliefs that is practiced in the region of Valriegesland. Unlike the Soleannen Doctrine, which is also a polytheistic faith that recognizes the existence of multiple gods, Soledom incorporates the worship of local spirits and deities that are exclusive to the region where it was founded. In contrast, the religion of Soledom recognizes the importance of local beliefs and practices, and seeks to incorporate them into its own religious traditions. This often means that the worship of specific spirits and deities is deeply ingrained in the culture and history of the region where Soledom was founded, and that these beliefs are tied to the natural world and the environment in which people live.

One unique aspect of Soledom is its spiritual connection to the Emperor of the Valrean Realm, who is believed to be a divine figure and the protector of the people of the Valriegesland. This connection is exclusive to the region and is not recognized by the Soleannen Doctrine. The people of Valriegesland believe that the Emperor is a direct descendant of the gods and has a divine mandate to protect and guide the people of the region. They also believe that the Emperor has a spiritual connection to the land and the natural world, and that he can communicate with the spirits and deities that are worshipped in Soledom.

History
Following the Inquisition against both Soleannen and Solevielism in the Empire of Simulami which led to major decline in Soleviel faith, and growing tensions between religious factions in the Empire of Valreach in-which led to conflict and ruin in central Valriegesland, orders of both Soleviel faith and Shroudism in the Valrean Holy War ceased their arms, and negotiated a new religious doctrine for the Valrean Realm.

It was to become Soledom, a Valrean answer to Soleannen and a church in-which power wasn't in the hands of foreign nations nor a elected hierchy, but the Valrean Realm itself. Emperor Yorg M. Aulian declared the religion a faith for the Valreans and Valreach, where both Soleannenism and Shroudism would unify under a new church.
