Fislankif Sect

The Fislankif sect evolved from the Church of Six Divines, with the sect establishing six guiding principles and focusing on the gods Necros and Valet. All the gods are seen as embodying natural forces of the world, which requires them to balance out in their eternal war. The sect was effectively formed when the missionary Josu Mogrus arrived in Arcturus. The sect also refers to some of the gods of the pantheon by different names.

Arrival on Arcturus
The missionary Josu Mogrus arrived in Arcturus May 19 2021, and began converting citizens of Arcturus to the Church of Six Divines. The arid environment of the land led the worshipers to place greater focus on the gods related to death. A temple would be constructed in the northern desert of the island with land being deemed Fislankif (meaning lifeless land in Limpashim). The sect would quickly develop it's own philosophy centered around the Six Divine Laws.

Vikhr's Message
On the night of July 1 2021 the rains Vikhr sent down would not cease. The rains began to raise the sea level in some place causing the Flood. In a bid to appease Vikhr Josu Mogrus began a prayer within a circle of soul sand to commune with the god and halt the rains. Josu reports to have seen messages from the god apparently telling him, "I. am. what. I. am. and. what. is. is. I.". He would later receive a message telling him to seek out the statue of the messenger and sacrifice a cow atop it. He would almost immediately set out to find this statue in hopes of appeasing Vikhr.

Chern's Gift
Members of the Sect began investigating an abandoned settlement of Woodsted. The members report seeing a grid of gold ore with two chickens trapped inside the ore. One of the chickens escaped and began talking, according to the members who investigated the chicken said, "Where is my bitch, I'm gonna go look for my bitch". As they attempted to place the chicken within a boat the chicken rowed the boat of its own volition and swam away into the sea. The members then began trying to commune with the gods to receive a sign. Apparently the gods responded by sending beehives and honey, with the members leaving out of fear. When they returned the gold ore was gone and only the chicken named "Bitch" remained. A statue to Chern (the god believed to be responsible) was erected and the chicken was taken back to the temple.

Six Divine Laws
There is no one way to worship. To debate and engage the teachings is itself an act of faith.

Maintaining the balance of the gods is essential. Should any one god become too powerful the world will be destroyed by that god's tyranny.

It is the duty of worshippers to be warm towards others, and ensure the health of their communities.

One must be flexible and keep a calm mind even during strife.

Everyone has a role to play, and each person has a responsibility to find and fulfill the role they're best suited to.

The gods manifest in many ways. Worshippers of all other faiths ultimately worship different forms of the church's gods.

Breaking these laws is seen as allowing one of the gods to become more powerful, thus creating imbalance in the world.

Afterlife
The sects beliefs diverge majorly from the core religion in how they perceive the afterlife.

Materials of Essentia
Essentia is a key part of the Church of Six Divines, it is believed to be the essence of the gods that give objects their properties and people their personalities. The sect believes that some materials contain higher concentrations of essentia thus giving them special powers.
