ICLL - International Church of Lux and Lintu

Humble Beginings
The International Church of Lux is a new faith to the world of both Rathnir and Eldham.

It was started my Bishop Golden Tigris Apollo O'Cath in his bid and mission to further help the Luxite faith to become more accepted and popular to both of the world of Stoneworks. But how Golden came in touch with the essentials of this faith is quite interesting. The story goes like this:

As Golden desends deep within the depths of Eldham, with his friend from Asoland, Spiralknighter, He enconter a spiritual entity that speaks into his ear leading the men to more than one deposits of Iron, the mine for some more hours until they ecounter more. But as Golden listens more to this voice, he enters into a trance, while he contines to shriek and scream loudly.

The Bishop reports of this encounter in His book "What my eyes have seen". He notes: In the depths of Eldham, I seen a man standing sorrounded my a thick dark cloud of darkness. He has a woman standing next to him who was also shrouded in darkness. He spoke these words to me: "Oh priest ascend these hills, follow the way of the Gods of both the heavens and the depths, that we may show thee great and mighty things which knowest thou not"

After finding staches of Iron and parting ways with spiral, the Bishop ascends the mountain of Volnygrad to pray though all that He has seen, during 100 days of fasting and prayer in the Tower of Tigris, In the top floor of the tower to be presise He seen another vison: Where he seen a man and a woman shrouded in white surrounded in a Golden mists, infront of him both events led him to feel a mix of awe and dread.

By the leading of both of these powers, he built and established Churches all over Eldham and Rathnir, making Volnygrad the headquaters of both the Worrship of Lux and Tenebris in the churches history.

Beliefs
The ICLL believe that both Lux and Tenebris are part of two opposing couples.

Lux is the Goodess of Creation and Nature, while her husband, Lintu is the God of the Sun. fire and anything and everything in between.

Tenebris is the God of the deep darkness, protector of the underworld, and the Lord of the Depths. He sees all things whilst hiding in the darkness. His wife Tenerya, is cold yet caring she leads men on the surface to sleep and she makes the night to fall on the land. She is also respensible for giving dead men and women rest from the toils of their earthly life.

We still belive that they have three children bettween each of these couples:

For Lux and Lintu:

Wajdu: The Lord of order and knowledge

Paridu: The Lady of the household and hearth

Parabu: The lady of life and prosperity

For Tenebris and Tenebrya:

Cutu: The lord of wind and solace

Kedje: The lady of chaos and ignorance

Pburadi: The Lord of death and warfare

Rituals
The main ritual that is expectect to be preformed by both the clergy and cultists alike are two sacrifices and one initiation ritual.

The main sacrifices represent two sacred flames:

One for Lint and Lux which is on the surface, this flame is an orange and white flame

Another is the flame of Tenebris and Tenebrya, the Blue and White flame. found in the uderground shrine of Tenebris within the depths of Eldham. Another Holy site to Tenebris is the Graveyard on the Church ground of Volnygrad.

Holy Books
The main holy books that we advice out parishoners to have is:

The Codex of Lux, written by lapistar. On the main beliefs of the Luxite faith.

Golden's Hymnal, written by Bishop Golden himself. Detailing the Victories and the shortcomings of the Bishop on both Rathnir and Eldham and the Philosophy of the Chrurch itself.
