Flosism

= The Story of Flosism = When Rathnir was dormant in the primordial age of the world, there was chaos. Ancient seas broke away the rocky coasts around the Phagosian Sea, and vegetation was nowhere to be seen.

In time the seas calmed and Flos, the mother of vegetation was born. First, she created grass, and it covered the landscape wherever it could grow. Next, was flowers and vegetables, they managed to create stable ecosystems of insects, early mammals, and reptiles. Finally, she created trees, which brought vast amounts of oxygen to the planet, allowing for mammals and reptiles to grow larger in their environments.

While she valued all of her creations, she took special care of the flowers. Some may say too much care, as eventually, they began emitting special energy. They each gave off different effects, mostly good.

When she discovered this, she knew that she needed to put someone in charge of taking care of these flowers and the people around them, so she contacted the Prophet Claef, a Faun from the continent Slytör. He would observe the flowers, and record what each of them did. To this day, his teachings and observations stay in place, particularly in the Blessed Diarchy of Knossos, which is currently regarded as the Holy Land of Flos.

Floral Attributes
These flowers are recognized as holy symbols within the Blessed Diarchy of Knossos, and their attributes are seen as truth. While most flowers give off a positive attribute, one is seen as dangerous by many, and that is the Wither Rose. The Wither Rose is seen as a source of Power, and it is well believed in the Flosist belief that too much power can corrupt. However, there is a group of Flosist believers that see otherwise.

The Wither Sect
The Wither Sect is a group of people who see the Wither Rose as the bringer of true happiness. People who believe that power is all one needs to bring about goodness in the future. While accepted into the religion, Witherists (As they are called within the Flosist Church) are heavily looked down upon for their method of belief.
