United Crysalanism

United Crysalanism is a semi religious, philosophical and scientific study native to the People's Federation of Novareach. The result of the combination of multiple religions and philosophical principles across all of Rathnir and even some from Eldham. In particular we are the combination of Crystallianism, Nollcryism, and some elements of Cubist philosophy.

Teachings
United Crysalanism focuses on the eternal search for knowledge along with the fight against ignorance and greed. Advocating for equal rights for all.

United Crysalanism has 10 primary lessons which are mandatory to follow.

First Lesson: The Crystals
The true nature of the crystal has yet to be uncovered completely however many things are known. They hold power, wisdom and might far beyond what many can comprehend. Their light is something that should not be misused or underestimated. If their strength is to be used it is to be for the people, not the individual. Those who use the crystals for greed are the truest form of heretic. Those who misuse the crystals are ignorant to their true potential. You can usually tell the initiated and uninitiated apart by what they refer to the crystals as. The uninitiated will usually refer to the crystals as "redstone" where the true believers will use much more of a vague terminology such as the crystals, the Red Jewels, the Nova Crystal, the Nova Jewel, Etc. With that in mind just because someone uses the terminology of the uninitiated does not automatically make them a heretic, usually they are just misinformed.

Second Lesson: Order & Chaos
The crystals are knowledge, power, creation, and order incarnate. They animate all and allow for all to exist like a finely tuned machine. They have no borders or boundaries, they are perfection, they are truth, they favour not good nor evil. But what they give they can also take away. They can cause destruction unparalleled, chaos on an unimaginable scale, if used incorrectly. They are to never be used for such destructive purposes unless absolutely necessary.

Third Lesson: Equality & Equity
All Mortals are to be treated with the respect and kindness they deserve. One is not to be treated above the other as in the crystal, all is equal. Equity for all, all deserve an equal chance at life, all deserve to have a roof over their heads and are to be rewarded for their hard labour with the value of their labour. All are equal, no matter any physical differences nor lineage. No matter the physical ability, what they are attracted to, or what their gender is. All deserve safe and clean food and water. All deserve access to the best possible healthcare. Those who exploit others and create inequality are an unholy corruption.

Fourth Lesson: The Guiding Light
The force of government and the crystals must be in a state of Harmony to achieve true order. If the teachings of the crystal are not accepted then Society will fall as the forces of Chaos and the World's Maw will consume all. Truth, knowledge and the warmth of the crystal must be the Guiding Light for all of those in society. From the governors to the workers.

All is protected under the warmth of the crystal, accept it within yourself and your chains will be broken.

Fifth Lesson: Nature
Nature, the cosmos, and reality are a finely-tuned machine. The crystal is a representation of that machine. Do not throw it off balance.

Sixth Lesson: Society
In striving for order mortals have created Society to mimic the crystal. Just like nature, Society is a finely-tuned machine to ensure safety and security. Societies which cannot Ensure Safety and Security have failed the Crystals.

Seventh Lesson: Pillars of Order
There are Four Pillars of Order. Humility, Charity, Sacrifice and Prudence. To deny these pillars will bring harm to one's self and those around them. Ensure you follow them.

Eighth Lesson: Pillars of Chaos
There are Four Pillars of Chaos. Egotism, Greed, Sloth, and Ignorance. One must avoid these paths at all costs. For these are the path to damnation.

Ninth Lesson: Awareness
Be aware of one’s own actions and how they affect others. We all live in the finely-tuned machine of the crystal, do not throw it off balance and be mindful of others.

Tenth Lesson: Knowledge & Ignorance
Ignorance is the bane of the Crystal. Spread knowledge. Be open-minded. But those who corrupt and deny knowledge also deny the truth. Remain steadfast and faithful to these lessons.

History
Over the course of Novareach history there have been many who have tried to research and understand the artefact simply known as the Nova Crystal, with some even proposing more religious explanations. The organizations who have attempted to gain an understanding of the Nova Crystal include Crystallianism, Nollcryism, Nephrism, the Aberdeen Archaeological Society, the MoAC, and the Ministry of Health and Alchemy.

Other religions founded around the worship of the Nova Crystal include Crystallianism, Nollcryism, and Nephrism.
