Creation
The principle of Creation holds that Eldham-Rathnir is the third world in Creation; the first having been Paxia, and the second Jagdas, now a heap of fire and brimstone. Additionally, these worlds hang between Heaven, the realm of Solon, and the Void, the realm of Hephes. Other mortal worlds besides the known three are taught to exist, yet are concealed and separated by the Divinities.

Manifestation
The principle of Manifestation holds that Divine Aspects, Deities, can manifest within mortals, making them their vessel. Divine vessels are granted the ability to perform miracles related to their Aspect, to the greatest extent. However, when a vessel acts contrary to what pleases their Aspect, the Aspect can sever their connection to their vessel. Vessels are ultimately the greatest source of divine influence in Eldham-Rathnir.

Reincarnation
The principle of Reincarnation holds that after death, mortals can be reborn as new individuals, with new bodies and new minds. When reborn, mortals are largely unaware of their past lives, yet through divine influence they can be recalled. However, one’s reincarnation can be prevented, as well as one’s soul potentially destroyed, through divine intervention.

Syncretism
The principle of Syncretism holds that all deities, from whichever religion, are primordial aspects of either Hephes or Solon which have been misinterpreted. It allows competing religions to be assimilated and synchronized with the existing deities and theology of Stir Leyarandd, creating a unified, if not homogenous, faith for all believers. This principle additionally maintains the authority of the Prophet among any sects of the faith.
