Recreationism

Recreationism is the belief in the Shattered God, and their many aspects. Its core beliefs are that of unity, repair, and community. The primary church of Recreationism is split into several other churches, or sects, with the potential to create more always on the horizon. These other churches worship "shards" of the Shattered God, almost every Shard is a God of their own.

Creation and Goals
Recreationism dictates that all existence is just the fractured pieces of a nameless creator deity. This includes the ground, the void, the heavens, and those that reside within each. Recreationism has a primary goal of reuniting the pieces of the initial creator deity and bringing all reality into a heavenly bliss without form, this goal is being strived for by each of the sects in their own unique ways, from trying to fuse all modern religions into Recreationism, to rebuilding the empires of the past.

The Church of the Shattered God
This is the primary church, and is the default church for most new members. It worships the whole of the Shattered God, also known as the Recreator in this sect of the religion. This church usually consists of wandering nomads with no home, however it does have a centralized chapel in Novus alongside the other sects. The followers of this church often go from place to place restoring ancient ruins or demolishing old buildings across the world. The nomads of this sect specialize into the other sects based upon their skills and specific beliefs in regards to Recreation itself.

The Church of Razzveraxe
This is the church following the Shard that made the Sun, Razzveraxe, brother of Obora. This church worships the sun deity in variety of ways, however it is mostly in the form of feasts and/or unions, whether it be between two people in marriage, or nations in an alliance. As such, the Church of Razzveraxe mostly consists of diplomats and wordsmiths in the hopes of unifying peoples of all backgrounds under the fold. This church too shares in the Chapel of Novus, however it may also have other chapels in multiple cities as to spread the word of Razzveraxe and the Shattered God.

The Church of Obora
This is the church following the Shard that made the Moon, Obora, sister of Razzveraxe. This church worships the moon deity in many ways, mostly in private prayers and/or fasting. These rituals, while private, are not the only rituals done by this church, it is only that other rituals, such as the degradation of a bond, are taboo in most countries, and thus are practiced infrequently if at all. The church of Obora mostly consists of spies and other secretive peoples, they hope to attain knowledge and unify the world through separate yet convening paths. This church also shares the Chapel in Novus, but it may have secretive cults across the world as to maintain balance.

The Church of Zeferoyh
This the church following the Shard that is the winds of the world, Zeferoyh, husband of Quiana. This church worships the wind deity in a few ways, primarily in sending information across the world, and assisting tradesmen of all varieties, however it does have proper rituals in the forms of ritualistic dance and art. As expected, the church of Zeferoyh is made up of wandering artists and people of culture, hoping to unify the world not through conquest, but through shared vices. This church does also share the Chapel in Novus with the other sects, though it may also have traveling missionaries across the world, as well as acting messengers.

The Church of Quiana
This is the church following the Shard that is the waters of the world, Quiana, wife of Zeferoyh. This church worships the water deity in plenty of ways, through donations and/or sacrifices of valuable minerals, mostly gold, iron, emeralds, lapiz, diamonds, and netherite, although not all of these minerals are sacrificed, it is commonplace for at least one to be during a ritual. The Church of Quiana is made up primarily of sailors and businessmen, connecting the world through seaside trade and capitalism. This church also shares in the Chapel of Novus, however it may have other chapels or altars in various other cities.

The Church of Geld
This is the church following the Shard that is the earth of the world, Geld, partner of Phyram. This church worships the earth deity in a variety of ways, mostly in the form of endurance training and/or the creation of roads, these roads can be of any variety, even basic paths. The Church of Geld is made up of caravans and builders, bringing the world together in a more physical way through the trade of resources and construction of walls/roads. This church too shares the Chapel in Novus alongside all other sects, but it may have small roadside shrines and chapels in new towns.

The Church of Phyram
This is the church following the Shard that is the fire of the world, Phyram, partner of Geld. This church worships the fire deity in a great many ways, mostly in the form of rigorous combat training and/or the demolition of old buildings with no more use, sometimes a building they plan to destroy may be claimed by the Church of the Shattered God for reconstruction, in these cases, the Church of Phyram is to back away from the site with no issue. The Church of Phyram is made up of soldiers, strategists, and demolitionists, hoping to pull the world together through conquest and force. This church shares in the Chapel of Novus like all the other sects, however it may have altars in war camps and missionaries amongst armies.
