Beetriaty

Overview
Beetriaty is a cult-like religion which believes in catalysing the Day of Reckoning (the end of the world). Beetrians however believe that they will be saved when the world is destroyed because of their faith. They believe that beetroots and cannibalism both give both power and knowledge and are the bridges between mankind and the underworld.

Origins
Beetriaty originated in the catacombs of Solanaria, a town in Bardonia. Followers of Tuberism in Solanaria condemned the worshippers of the beetroot as they were committing 'heretical' acts. All alleged beetroot consumers and worshippers were imprisoned in the town's dungeons with many being tortured or executed. All victims of the massacre were thrown into the lower levels of the catacombs where they would remain unseen for several years.

Jorgel Rykuh, the founder of Beetriaty, would stumble one day upon the aftermath of the massacre as he explored the catacombs. He would be enticed by the scent of beetroot soup, an unfamiliar smell to him because of Solanaria's strict laws against beetroots. Jorgel found a cauldron of soup that had presumably had a human body inside and drank the soup which gave him a hallucination that traumatised him. 2 days later, however, he would return again to the cauldron in a fit of rage and accidentally pour its contents all over himself. This bathing in blood and beetroot enlightened Jorgel to his true cause and he was spoken to by an unnamed deity recognised as The Cauldron Messenger which told him "Through beetroot and blood they can all be saved."

These words are what caused Jorgel to devote himself to Beetriaty and spread its messages.

Beliefs
Beetrians share few beliefs currently due to the religion still being in a primitive state, but amongst them are:

Sanctity of Beetroots
Beetroots are undisputedly an object of major importance in Beetriaty. The condemning of beetroots ultimately caused the deities to reveal themselves to man in hopes of ridding the world of beetroot hate, and the eating of beetroots can cause people to be spoken to and enlightened by the gods. This shows how beetroots are the main connection between us and the underworld.

Day of Reckoning
The Day of Reckoning is an idea shared and accepted by many faiths, but none look forward to the end of the world as much as Beetrians. Followers of Beetriaty anticipate that the rest of the world will be punished by the deities for their mistreatment of the Beetrians and ignorance of the gods and that Beetrians themselves will be at one with the gods as they spectate the destruction of every last block in the world.
