Ipolitalism

Ipolitalism is a religion that worships Ipo, the Creeper Faced Flower God of Mercy. Followers of Ipolitalism or Ipolitans follow a set of commandments known as "Ipo's Will". The current holy books are "Revelation of" and "The will of Ipo". The book "Revelation of" describes the discovery of the ancient scriptures that outlined the following of Ipo and the revelations sent by Ipo to Theodor The Ipolitan. The book "Ipo's Will" states the conmmandments of Ipo and the interpretation of them. The only known Ipolitalist church is Mortifer's Church of Mercy.

Revelation of
I was traveling the far east when I found it. A cave

There was nothing seemingly wrong with the cave, but after some exploring I found a wall with scriptures written on it.

At first I could't read it, but after staring ar it for sometime the words started to make sense. Heres what it said:

"It was not an act of spite for our creator to make us, but an act of love and mercy. And is this not also our reason to be alive, to love and share mercy. For isn't that the most noble cause of them all? For that is the way we will please Ipo, the Creeper faced flower, creator of man and the guide to our salvation."

After I could read the scripture I first heard a hummung that got louder. When it almost hurt my ears it stopped as suddenly as it had started. Then I head the booming voice of Ipo in my head.

"Go and build the church that worships mercy. Go and fill it with beds for the travelers. Go and find Ipolis."

So that is what I'll do. For I am a servany of Ipo.

I am an Ipolitan.

Ipo's Will
Here I lay on to you the commandment of Ipo and how to follow them


 * 1) Go and build the church that worships mercy.

This commandment does not only mean a physical building, but a spiritual state of mind. A church is only a husk of stone without mercy and love. So before you lay the first brick, make sure you really have the heart to give mercy.

2. Go and fill it with beds for the travelers.

The bed here is a metafor for the hospitality of Ipolitans. Once you start following the word of Ipo you should be ready to help a stranger when asked and as a sign of this, all of the churches of Ipo have beds for travelers in need.

3. Go and find Ipolis.

Ipolis was the ancient town where Ipo created all mankind. It was destoyed as greed overtook love and revenge overtook mercy. Once there are enough Ipolitans it is possible to find Ipolis onve again and its ruler shall lead a new time of mercy and love.
