Vasion

Vasion is the sister religion of Patronism. As a sister, this religion is there to revive the old teachings while having new ones to be suited well in the present days of Eldham. This is a contemporary strict monotheistic religion.

Deities
Hesto (named Baylen before) is the deity being worshipped in the religion alone. An all powerful and able being who takes charge of the affairs of His creation. The Master and Creator of the universe and everything hidden and seen. This deity keeps the same teachings of the past religion while adhering to new laws and teachings for contemporary means.

Mastery is the deity's dominant attribute. Strength, power, might and all traits that denotes any form of power belongs to Him alone. Generosity is His loving and kind attributes. His mercy, forgiveness, kindness and all attributes the denotes his soft loving side belongs to Him alone. These two are His most important attributes. The religion has has three new titles for Hesto to assist the contemporary faith after the death of the past religion.

The Harvest God. This title brings in attention to the creation of crops and foods that is being planted and farmed. The symbolism behind it is because food is seen as a great blessing and sign from Hesto to the people. Out of Hesto's generosity he gave the people food and crops to live and enjoy the life on the land.

Another reason is because the last worshippers of Patronism were ungrateful to the food that was given to them to enjoy and live.

The Master of Seasons. Hesto has power and control over the seasons, days, weeks, and months. He is the one controlling the time for the crops to grow and when is the best time to harvest those crops.

The Highest God with Fire. Fire has now been associated with Him just as the Seasons and Harvest. The association is demonstrating His power and how much He can cause famine and great heat upon those ungrateful worshippers, evil doers, or evil disbelievers. He shows His might and power through the concept of fire, fire is also bright, a guiding, and a source of warmth for the people.

At the moment, there are no schools of thought...

The Living after Death.
As the fall of Patronism became true and the last of it's worshippers have been gone the faith has been lost. It was a simple standing faith in Rathnir but now it has now been gone. Due to the ingratitude of it's followers yearning for what the empires have left the faith to follow what they desire. Its was now a dead religion, some of it's teachings have been lost and only some remained before the last of the worshippers converted.

A new religion, a sister religion of the dead faith, was founded on Angel's Landing to a follower who still yearns for the old faith after his conversion. A sign of inspiration came into him as divine thoughts inspired him to be the one in charge of reviving the faith. They newly converted worshipper was having a hard time to revive the faith because of how lost the teachings have been after he had converted twice. Hesto inspired him to build and establish a sister religion to continue the teachings while practicing new ones.

The sister religion, Vasion, was born.
