Podastism

1. Resumation

The podastism is a religion that follows The Holy Librum and worships the god Terostyros, the religion's symbol is the ashes of the prophet Recas, denominated as The Urn of Podastia. The religion is monotheist and has a very fast-paced book based on the history of friendship between the farmer Recas and the king Anacletus.

Currently, the religion is headed by the Podastist States and has the grandarch/pope as the title of its leader.

In the history, Recas died in fire at his way on spreading the word of the god Terostyros and became a Prince of the Livings, together with the king Anacletus after his death, and then helping the main god to keep the sustenance in the people's world.

2. Rituals

The temples have to be open to the public all the time

In public encounters, there will be one torsen (Priest) to be the praying leader.

In public, the torsen will follow The Holy Librum and express their thinkings about the actions of the protagonists.

Pasén is the grateful word in this religion, every paragraph in The Holy Librum finished, everyone needs to chat/speak the word.

Still in public, at the end of the reading and the encounter, there will be one or a few workers passing by all the people giving them any simple object (wool, paper, sign...), and then, near the altar, there must be an anvil, where people rename their received object to a special word or wanting.

After everyone finish renaming their objects, workers will pass by the people and get the subscriptions back, and then, all of them will be "sacrificed" in the three cauldrons, in a random way.

Everyone, incluiding the torsens, should wait until all the objects in cauldron be despawned, and then everyone should chat/say the holy word, and then be able to leave the temple.

Now, in personal/private, you can sit in a pew/carpet and express your feelings talking on a loud or silenced mode to the Podastia urn (or idk, just chat), and then say the holy word, and if you do have an object, you can do the cauldron sacrifices and then too wait until the items get despawned, and then you will be able to leave the temple.

3. Terostyros

Terostyros is the supreme deity, the only one god of the podastism, being also the guide of the prophets Recas and Anacletus.

Terostyros has no face or representation in the book, so the Golden Totem is used to symbolize him, together with the fact that the god uses the totem to contact the livings.



4. Prophet Recas

Recas is considered the founder of the religion, as he was the first to start spreading the word of Terostyros, and also considered the most important figure in the Holy Librum.

In the book, Recas is the main messenger of the god in the living's world, and died by burning in public square, on the way of trying to give the knowledge of Terostyros's existence for the people of other civilizations.

The prophet's ashes or the Urn of Podastia are made to symbolize the burnt body of Recas.

5. Prophet Anacletus

Anacletus, or King Anacletus the first was the king of the Kingdom of Podastia, and was a prophet that, together with Recas, contributed to the spread of the podastism.

The prophet at first, didn't believed in any deity and ignored Recas when talking about Terostyros, until the own Terostyros himself contacted the king with the Golden Totem, in order to advise Anacletus to hear the farmer Recas.

Anacletus also was the creator of the Urn of Podastia, the main symbol of the religion, as he ordered the urn to symbolize the deceased Recas soon later.

6. Maexus

Maexus is the promised land of the podastists, and is the final travel destinated to everyone, being leaded by the deity Terostyros, and helped by the prophets Recas and Anacletus.
