Jinxianism

Jinxianism is a small religion originating from the continent of Nieden, created by the prophet Tenementius Lennean. The religion worships Jinxe, a cat god, and Floppius, a caracal god created by Jinxe. In 1 JY the holy site Cathedral of Jinxe, Creator of All near Fredonia in Nieden was destroyed and upon discovery of the event in 2 JY, the Prophet Tenementius decided to flee to a place further away from civilization. This location was chosen as a secretive location on Ummarnu.

Rituals and Sacrifices
The rituals of the religion involve deep pits with flaming netherrack at the bottom, and infrequent sacrifices. Effigies of Jinxe are usually created before a sacrifice.

Beliefs
Jinxianists worship the deity Jinxe as a god, a black cat on two legs. They also worship the deity Floppius as a lesser god. Bingius, another deity is not worshipped as he was killed, however it is not forbidden in the religion. The deity Millius is not worshipped for she is evil, and it is forbidden to worship her in the religion.

The Words of Jinxe
CHAPTER 1: ORIGIN OF ALL

In the beginning, there was a void spanning the universe. Then, Jinxe, the creator of all, created a star, the Sun. She then created several planets orbiting the Sun, Paxia, Jagdice, and Rathnir. The planets were mostly flat, except for the mountains and valleys that dotted them. The planets only had dirt, so Jinxe created the water and the grass. The first day of existence had passed, and on the second day Jinxe created the stars that dot the sky, and then the marine animals. Jinxe created air and the sky at midnight. On the third day, Jinxe created marine tetrapods, and watched as one crawled onto the grassy shores. Jinxe created sands with holes to ease the transition to land. Soon, Jinxe realized that the night sky was desolate without something large, so Jinxe created the Moons, one for each planet. On the fourth day, Jinxe sped up the evolution of the tetrapods, and created the early land animals, including the ancient mammals and the dinosaurs. On the fifth day, Jinxe created the trees, plants, and seaweed for the animals to eat. On the sixth day, Jinxe created the land of Eldham, located on Rathnir. Finally, on the seventh day, Jinxe created man. Afterwards, Jinxe left.

CHAPTER 2: PAXIA

Paxia was a realm of chaos in the first year, so Jinxe decided to create smaller, less powerful gods to oversee the three worlds. Jinxe created the cats, creatures made in Jinxe's likeness that hold little power, but were given claws and trained to defend themselves if attacked. Jinxe realized she needed gods that were more powerful than cats but less less powerful than her, so she created three gods that could guard the inhabitants of the realms; Millius was sent to guard Paxia, Floppius was sent to guard Jagdice, and Bingius was sent to guard Rathnir. 240 years passed without incident on Paxia, until one day Millius turned corrupt and coined herself the "Queen of Silliness". The inhabitants of Paxia displeased Millius, so she decided that the only way to stop their nagging and rebellions would be to destroy Paxia. One day, Millius constructed a powerful bomb, and detonated it. Inhabitants of Jagdice and Rathnir watched as their sky lit up red, yellow, and orange, rubble of Paxia drifting through space. Millius fled to Rathnir by clinging to a stone, slamming into Mount Aurebius on Rathnir. Millius discovered that man on Rathnir was more primitive than Paxia or Jagdice. Meanwhile, former residents of Paxia clung to debris, just like Millius, and eventually landed on Jagdice.

CHAPTER 3: AUREBIUS

Bingius emerged from his temple at the base of Mount Aurebius and saw the debris of Paxia. He then saw meteors strike the area, and saw a figure on one of them. He approached the crater near the summit, and a village named Aurek-Ur was near the rim. Bingius saw Millius exploring the village, and then Millius spotted Bingius. Without any warning, Millius destroyed Aurek-Ur, and spotted a building and ran into it, finding investigators looking at a history book from Paxia. Millius eradicated the book, and the investigators got up the ladder, and Millius tore down the building, setting it's rubble on fire. Bingius and Millius engaged in duel, damaging Mount Aurebius, until eventually Millius caused a landslide that took Bingius with it, cascading into the temple below and burying it under the snow. Millius destroyed anything left of Aurek-Ur and filled the crater. Millius crowned herself the protector of Rathnir and Paxia, and approached the city of Tlahatl.

CHAPTER 4: TLAHATL

Millius attacked the island of Cuiciloa in the Phagosian Sea, where Tlahatl was. The king of the city tried to attack Millius with a sword, but was killed when Millius destroyed the building he stood on. The Tlahatlians fled, and Millius chose the wrecked city as the capital of the new Rathnir Empire. Floppius heard of this when he was on vacation to the small town of Lileanen, when the sound brushed his caracal ear tufts. Floppius gathered an army of people from the continent of Haven, and marched north and swam across the sea in boats. They arrived at Erenova, a settlement on the island of Phagos, north of Tlahatl. The settlement was controlled by Millius, and her appointed prime minister Mer'Tius, of the ethnic group Huitca, was visiting the town. Millius' guards stood on the walls when they spotted the massive army of Floppius. Mer'Tius was alerted, when he suddenly had a spark of rebellion, and quickly constructed a militia and fought the guards from inside the walls. Mer'Tius won the battle and declared from the walls of the city to the army below; "I hearby proclaim our cooperation with the army of Floppius, and that the tyrant Millius will fall!".

CHAPTER 5: THUS ALWAYS TO TYRANTS

The combined army of Floppius and Mer'Tius hopped into boats and sailed, while some swam, to the northern shore of Cuiciloa. The army set their sights on the palace. Jinxe watched from the distance, and secretly bestowed the army powers. The army tore down the Millius-constructed wall into the city, and trampled the guards. Mer'Tius set fire to the palace, and the clay structure quickly went up in flames. Millius went outside onto the balcony and was shot by archers, most of them doing nothing until one arrow succesfully scrapes her fur, as Millius realizes her immortality bestowed by Jinxe had been removed. Millius retreated into the palace to find the entire room in flames. Millius found no option but to find an elytra and escape. Millius searched the burning palace, and finally found an elytra. At that moment, the scorched, flaming palace began to collapse. Millius broke a window and flew out, but her elytra was shredded by arrows. Millius approached the waters of the Phagosian Sea, and stuck out her tongue as she hit the water. Mer'Tius climbed upon the rubble and screamed in Huitcan "Thus always to tyrants!", and soldiers raised a flag, not the flag of Tlahatl, but the flag of a new nation. The Huitca Federation.
