Ancestral Faith

= The Ancestral Faith =

The Ancestral Faith is a religion found in Erinia. The religion's primary deities are the ancestors of the Second Generation.

Main Beliefs
The Ancestral Faith believes that the world of Rathnir was created by god as a paradise world, these gods went on to have children, The First Genreration. The gods soon after left Rathnir in search of a new world to make their own but they left behind The Ancestors. The Ancestors went on to build and have children of their own, The Second Generation and they created the Guides to help their children achive what they had done, ascend to Godhood. But they did not leave without giving a gift, immortality in the form of respawning, so that they many have as many chances to ascend as they need. The Ancestors now roam Rathnir as incorporeal and powerful spirit looking over their children.

Creation
In the beginning, there was nothing and there was gods. These gods went of to create there own realms, weather that being in the Over or Under worlds. But they soon grew tired of creating realms and needed to make a place for rest. This they made and they named it Rathnir. Rathnir is a paradise world, having the touch of all the gods of creation. They soon took advantage of this world and rested and relaxed with one another. Trough this they created humanity and the First Generation, The Ancestors. The Ancestors were different from us, they were closer to the gods both biologically and physically, for they interacted with and talk with each other daily. The gods soon grew to like their creation and gave them a gift, a way to become a Demigod through the Guide of Ascension. But soon they had to leave, for their jobs as creators are eternal and so they left. The Ancestors then created the Five Guides. This included an edited version of the Guide of Ascension, for they knew that The Second generation would be different, farther from the original gods and the Ancestors. The Ancestors soon took on the Ritual of Ascension and they became Demigods and left Rathnir's mortal plane founding the spiritual plane. They gave the Second generation a gift before they left however, the gift of immortality in the form of the recurrence, so that they may have as many tries to ascend as needed. -Prophet Night of the Parens
