Order of Alzar'agnatus

The Order of Alzar'agnatus, or just Alzar'agnatus, was the national religion of Alzaria and remains the prominent religion in the current city of Alzaria, located in Sylvania.

The religion is heavily tied to the history of Alzaria, with the city being the main holy site for prayer and rituals. The faith focuses on the worship of the great Alzar - the incarnation of light itself, who came down to the mortal plane and founded Alzaria - as well as Alzar's kin known as The Elder Dragons.

The name comes from the phrase "Alzar et agnatus" which translates to "Alzar and his relatives". This shows both the importance of Alzar and how he has become the main focus and figurehead of the religion, but also that there is more to the faith than just him.

Omnia / The Ur-Dragon
Omnia refers to the consciousness that embodies all of existence. It is said, at the beginning of everything, when there was only Absence, the lack of anything created infinite Potential - all that could be, and all that would be. This intense force of endless possibility was so powerful that it became aware of itself, and thus this created the mind of Omnia.

Omnia was born with the innate desire to create. This desire led them to unleash the infinite potentials that lay within them, when the universe was but a void. They watched as this abundance of energy condensed into matter, and gazed upon its evolution into stars and galaxies. Since all matter originated from Omnia, it is often said that Omnia IS the universe, as well as its creator. There came a time when Omnia decided to leave their plane of omnipotence, with the intention of existing amongst the wonders of the universe. They wanted to experience their creations on their own level, rather than observing all of Space, all at once. Omnia's consciousness descended from their higher plane, beginning to manifest into the physical world, though their mind was so vast that a powerful form was needed to accommodate it. A body of insane magnitude towered over the early proto-stars of the universe. All across its surface, hundreds of gleaming scales, representing endurance and immortality, reflected the light of the stars that surrounded. Atop its broad neck stood a great skull with mighty jaws, representing power and strength, as the back of its throat expelled a turbulent ball of fire between its teeth. Extraordinary wings, representing freedom and grace, rose from its back, enveloping the cosmos with divine affection. Omnia's physical form was that of a dragon. The embodiment of all the potentials and eventualities of the universe. A being whose mind held eternity. In the holy texts of Alzar'agnatus, the ancient monks named it The Ur-Dragon.

'' Author's note: Some may recognise The Ur-Dragon from the Magic: The Gathering lore. I (Alzar) took a lot of inspiration from it and couldn't come up with a better name for it so I took that too. It's been one of the main reasons why Alzar'agnatus features a lot of dragon themes. What can I say, dragons are dope. ''

Modern Era
A large portion of the faith's history, during the modern era of Eldham, is documented on Alzaria's wiki page.
