Sunism

The religion of the sun, also known as sunism is a religion that revolves around the sun as a concept of worship. It has few mandates, a somewhat descentralized hierarchy and considers the sun as an entity, as a concept and as the actual astronomical object. It preaches that all stories deserve to be heard and that it’s followers should see the moments of sunset and sunrise as sacred, needing to be prioritized for resting and contemplation. The religion has of monuments simple wooden benches pointed to the location of either the sunset or the sunrise, with a sign on it’s back saying: “watch the sunset” or “watch the sunrise”, generally marked in orange. It’s banner consists of an orange background and a yellow circle on the middle, symbolizing the sun on the orange horizon. One book is known to at least talk about the religion, written by xNinjacraft, the recognized shaman of this religion under the Morikomi Shamanism perspective as a sect at the time of the book’s discovery. He was the last practitioner known in the Northeastern realms of Eldham prior to it’s welcoming to the umbrella. A few of the religion’s mandates are on this book named “Book of The Sun”. They go as follows:

“(...) For the followers, they should preach:


 * That the sun has seen it all, and knows, maybe not it all, but much more than anyone.
 * That all have a story to tell, and all deserve a spot on the sunlight.
 * That all things that begin will come to an end, although some will endure far more than others; for what matters is not the end nor the begging, but the middle.
 * For the inbetweens, the passing moments, the metamorphisis, the transformations, the dualities, the loyalty, the equilibrium and for those who live in the middle.
 * That to respect the journey, all should rest at the end, and take all the land embebed into the sun’s light as a safe space; to honour what was and what will be, rest and watch the sunrise.
 * That all will end well, for time heals, and for all that was and what will be, all should enjoy the now, the present moment.
 * For the certainty that the sun will appear again on the next day.”

The writer also spreads chests with baked potatos across the known world. When asked about it’s reason for it, they linked it to their religion. They said:""Empires rise and fall, mate. We don't know what may happen tomorrow. This place is a safe place still. For the travellers and for the hungry... and for those inbetween the rising and falling empires."" Atop one of the Morikomi Mountain peaks one can find a sunism altar, a place to watch the sunrise and sunset.
