Summary:

Sagaism is a polytheistic religion, revolving around the stars, eleven gods, kindness and the unity of all peoples. Sagaists follow The Five Commandments of Anara.

The Sagaist religious text, ‘The Saga’ tells the story of a kind mortal, who dies at the hands of a man whose life they saved. Then the mortal, Anara is pitied by the stars, who had been watching over them and seen their kindness. The stars decided that Anara should be the one to watch over the new world, Eldham, so they gathered their strength and energy to bring back the soul of Anara to become an omnipresent divine being, a god. Anara then selected the Ten Minor Gods, each once a kind mortal who died unfairly.

The mortals of Eldham never heard of Anara, and were corrupt and cruel. Many prophets have prophesied that an Angel of Stars sent by the Gods, would come and spread the word of Sagaism to unite the different peoples of Eldham and spread kindness. This angel did eventually come, and was named Stella.

Location:

Sagaism is currently mainly based in Stoneport, with the mayor of Stoneport (at the time of writing), WarzywEkk being the head priest of Kiva and the first to join Stella in spreading the word of Anara. There is a large cathedral in Stoneport, dedicated towards Anara and the Ten Minor Gods. This cathedral also holds the original copy of ‘The Saga’.

The second base (at the time of writing) is Einsamkeit, being the second town to adopt Sagaism as its main religion. There is a church of Sagaism, the second place of Sagaist worship ever built.

In Eleanor, there is the third church of Sagaism built in Solaris, the acting capital (at the time of writing). In the future new churches will be built in the actual capital and another city which are still being built. At 4:23am on the 26/09/21 the King of Eleanor officially announced that Eleanor was to become first nation to recognize Sagaism as it's official religion.

Tremo, part of Uraka, within the vassal state of Titania (the same vassal state as Stoneport) recognised Sagaism as it's official religion on 26/09/21. There is a church of Sagaism there.

In Titan's Landing, part of Uraka, within the vassal state of Titania (the same vassel state as Stoneport and Tremo) has recognized Sagaism as a religion (not as its official religion) and has a church there that has a copy of The Saga. There is also a cathedral of all religions there, for everyone to celebrate their religious ideals, not just sagaism.

Symbol:

The symbol of Sagaism is a white inverted pentagram, white symbolizing simplicity, innocence, purity, light and faith. This inverted pentagram is placed on a purple background, symbolizing wisdom, creativity, devotion, peace, power and ambition. This dark purple can also represent the mourning of Anara and the Ten Minor God’s mortal forms.
