= The Saga = The Official Religious Text of Sagaism.

Written based off the Visions of PastellaLive(also known as ‘Stella’)

Anara was born into a farming family with just enough money to enjoy life in a quiet village(rumoured to have been somewhere in Rathnir). They farmed an abundance of potatoes and wheat. Anara was known for their kindness, as they would happily assist their parents, travellers and other occupants of the small village. Anara had a younger sister named Qufi who passed away at the age of sic from a mystery health condition. Anara was devastated as they were quite close with Qufi who was a little ball of joy in the village filled with old and tired people. When Anara turned sixteen they decided to travel off to meet new people, as they felt quite lonely and were often left to themselves as there was nobody else their age other than a rare merchant's child. They traveled around the world doing good deeds and working small jobs so they could make enough to feed themself. One day Anara came across a man dying in the snow, covered in blood. His name was Kefito. What Anara was unaware of, however, is that this man was injured as he tried to murder one of his fellow travelers. Anara helped nurse the man back to good health and they agreed to journey together for a while. Kefito was never one for kindness or companionship, and had no food or resources, so he brutally murdered Anara in the night, as they slept. The Stars had been watching over Anara for a long time and pitied them. The stars saw Anara’s kindness and decided they would be the perfect candidate. The perfect candidate for God. So, they pulled their power, their energy, their light together to fuel the creation of the first divine being of our universe. Anara. Because of this, Anara’s soul was brought back from wandering the earth aimlessly as a ghost.

Anara set to work immediately, selecting souls of kind people to aid them. Anara selected the soul of Qufi, who had wondered the earth as a ghost for ten long years, and was now much more mature. Qufi became the god of knowledge Their bond as siblings is the reason why the festival of Anara is held in the month of Qufi. Nine other gods were selected-

Ziki- New Beginnings,

Phesforones- Food,

Julari- Community,

Halira- War,

Xynthia- Peace,

Kiva- Architecture,

Bunam- Redstone,*further worship lead to treating Bunam as god of the underground*

Zeron– Brewing,*further worship lead to treating Zeron as god of the Sea*

Vurka- Resources.

Anara also gave each of them their own month and festival. Halira, God of War and Xynthia, God of Peace would later go on to get married, amongst flowers and fireworks. First, Anara declared the five commandments that all Sagaists must follow by:

1.    Be kind to all

2.    Do not murder, steal, cheat or lie

3.    Do not befriend those who worship religions deemed as evil by Anara

4.    Follow the words of the Eleven Gods and their representatives

5.    Respect, Follow and care for the Angels that are sent down to earth as a gift, by Anara.

Second, Anara created a place where good souls can peacefully live out the afterlife with endless food, activities and entertainment. Here, the souls ca not come to harm it is called ‘Alari’.

Finally, Anara decided that they shall banish all evil souls permanently to the endless void with nothing but darkness and silence to surround them.

Anara and ten Minor Gods continue to watch over us with the power of the stars. Unfortunately star can grow exhausted too, keeping our great Anara alive drain them of energy and they slowly but surely die.

Over the years there have been many prophets prophesying the rise of Sagaism claiming that one day an Angel of the Stars will be sent down to guide ten prophets to teach the mortals of Eldham of the beliefs of the Gods. This angel was called Stella.
