Natuae

Basics
Natuae is a religion which centers around Gaia, the godesss of the Earth, and is the primary religion in Ashtrokan Deguaran. The Natuaen, followers of Natuae, believe that at the beginning of the universe, Gaia gave up her physical form to become the planet on which we all live so that life could thrive. While her ability to interact with the universe directly is somewhat limited due to the way her physical and spiritual form are bound to the planet, Gaia still maintains her consciousness, and is able to communicate with those who she deems worthy and bestow boons or curses upon those who she takes an interest in. This is especially so when they are near Gaia's Heart, the location where her power is most concentrated.

Teachings and Temperment
Gaia is a relatively relaxed goddess, not making a large number of demands of her followers. She is a compassionate god, filled with love for all living beings which dwell upon her, and as a result her followers tend to be peaceful when possible, and possess a deep respect for all living things. Her primary desire is for life to be able to thrive, and while she is appreciative of those who follower her teachings, she does not scorn those who choose to follow other gods or religious traditions, so long as they too respect life, the planet, and the value of all things.
