Faxemis Angelae

Origins
Faxemis Angelae was created in November 2021 by a hermit monk, ShipElectric731, to whom the gods showed themselves. He lived a peaceful life on his farm, located near Alfheim, where he worked every day after praying. The gods sent him on a journey across Rathnir, with the aim of spreading the religion. He walked for days and nights, trying to find a good nation where he could establish his religion, until he found the Archducate of Grandia, where he settled.

The beginning of the universe:
Long before time was a thing, when the universe was just a big void, Faxemus wandered around dreaming about turning that nothingness into something.

It was then, after thousands of years, that he decided to create something, another God: Bellum. Faxemus gave Bellum the mission to create a perfect place that he could call home, and where he could observe the universe and defend the balance that existed in it. Bellum worked non-stop for years until he finally got what he was asked to do. He dubbed his creation Bariteliath, which means "The perfect place" in the Gorzetheriall, the ancient language of the gods.

Having a place that allowed him to see the entire universe, Faxemus made his second creation, a small red ball he named Liliath, and threw it into the void. A few seconds later, a huge explosion was heard and light was seen for the first time. Liliath's explosion transformed the universe, filling it with large, bright white stars.

So he created a third God, Avelinae, or as he is better known, Sacrileth, and gave him the duty to create a planet with life, so that they would no longer be alone in the universe. Shortly thereafter, Bellum was given the duty to create a place where evil spirits and evil souls, who had been corrupted by the darkness of the void, could be placed, and guards to protect life on earth, guard the prison and protect the house from the gods. This prison of his would be bellow the void that exists under the earth and would be nicknamed Infaiall

Avelanae took about 15,000 years to create its inhabited planet, but Bellum was not so lucky, finishing his project nearly 2,000 years after Avelinae. His guards, also known as angels, took another 500 years to create, leaving many evil spirits loose in contact with humanity.

The Great Fight
A long time had passed and humanity was already well developed, when rumors began to circulate about a group of people who worshiped an evil god. When these rumors reached Bellum's ears, he immediately decided to act and hunt down the evil spirit known as Noxetus, a spirit that lives in the darkest and coldest corners of the void and that constantly corrupts people in order to harvest their souls. Bellum then created multiple types of angels, each one responsible for protecting different people, temples, towns, cities and empires from the evil spirits.

He, along with the two most powerful angels ever created (Lux and Aqua), went to work trying to find Noxetus to free humanity from that monstrous creature. Little did he know that the spirit was already harvesting souls and had found a group of loyal servants who saw him as a god, I am speaking, of course, of the acient followers of the Abyss Mysticism religion.

Noxatus' followers had been strengthening him, by expanding their religion, so, when Bellum and his companion finally found him, it seemed like it was too late: humanity had become corrupted and seemed hopeless. Avelinae, the creator of manking, wasn't able to look at his creation anymore: humans were not the same.

A huge fight began, on one side was Bellum and his angels and on the other side Noxatus and his followers. The fight was so brutal that divided the universe in half, leaving one side in an eternal darkness. Bellum won the fight and imprisioned Noxatus in Infaiall, the prision bellow the void, from where he escaped once more, leaving Lux on his cell. But he was eventually caught with the help of three players who saved Lux and imprisioned Nexatus with one of the best sacrifices given to the gods.

He is trapped in Infaiall, under the tutelage of the angel Lux, angel of light and sun, who Noxetus once managed to imprison in his own cage.

How should a Faxemis Angelaean temple look like
For a temple to be considered as Faxemis Angelaean it must only worship the Faxemis Angelaean deities, have altar where the cardinal can perform masses and sacrifices, have benches where people who wish to attend masses or sacrifices can sit and have a body of water (with a size of 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, 9x9, ...), where sacrifices can be placed (normally inside a barrel that is set on fire)

How to properly do sacrifices
The temple must be all purified, placing redstone scattered throughout the temple and in front of the doors overlooking the outside. Then you should go up to the altar and call the divinity to whom the sacrifices are intended. After calling it several times, you must say what you want from divinity (protection, help, wisdom, etc.). Then put the barrel in the center of the water, put the sacrifices inside the barrel, catch fire to the barrel, and then call the divinity that you're worshiping to come and get your sacrifices
