Onionism

Onionism is a branch religion of Aethochronism, born during Petrus' reign over Virothen.

Origins
"He was walking around the city, a normal autumn day. Atomic after visiting Aetho’s temple was heading to his house when suddenly his sight darkened. He saw black, but not a scary black, a reassuring black. He fell to the ground, from outside it looked like a seizure but it was more. Atomic heard a voice, deep and sublime. It said: "Go, my disciple, go" Despite the lack of clarity of words Atomic knew what to do.."

The legend says that Onionism born from a vision that Atomic Tortoise had while walking in Virothen. In the beginning Onionism seemed a new religion that Atomic spread throught all the city. After some months the religion reached the higher ranks of the city. White chaos spreading Aetho appeared to the eyes of the citizens fighting against eachother saying that Onionism is part of Aethochronism.

"Do not fight, sons of mine, i am every where. Eagles, onions, beetroots were just a test and you succeded in it. But now stop! The blood on the streets comes from the same beliefs: you are all brothers, I talked to you throught onions to test your loyalty. You passed the test, now get back to peace and venerate the ways with whom i show to you!"

Beliefs
Onions are a popular branch religion of Aethochronism. During all its history Aethochronism has been a closed religion, with the lower ranks of the population knowing only basic details of it. This granted an easy spreading throught virothen's habitants. The branch religion bases of the venerations of Onions as words of Aetho.

The words of Aetho, trhought Onions, can be understood by everyone, and not only by priests like it happened in the ancient times. Anyways the group of the priests is present in Onionism, but another important role is the one of Travelers. They are normal people who spread onionism in other lands, making the religion bigger.

There are two feasts in Onionism:

- Foundation of Viirothen: it happens every 10 years TE (40 irl days) and it celebrates the foundation of Virothen. The date may change sometimes to let the feast happen during the original foundation day (9th august). This feast comes from the strong connection betwen Onionism and Virothen.

- Big Onions Feast: it happens every 20 years (80 irl days) and celebrates the Onions as entity. It includes races, games and special holidays.
