Triantanism

Triantanism
Triantanism is a partially monotheistic religion based on the principles of thanksgiving, justice, and generousity. The religion has one god, Triantan, but other lesser dietys like Cruine and the triads. The religion started when steakfilly, who hails from a land that not even he himself knows, came upon rathnir in the search for civilization. he wandered the lands for five days and five nights before recieving a prophecy from Triantan

The Founding of Triantanism
The prophecy spoken into steakfilly consisted of five major components


 * Triantan is the one true god
 * there will be a celebration every 2000 days (one real life month) in the name of him and mankind
 * steakfilly will write down all he tells him
 * there will be a great war in "the name where the ground glows yellow"
 * steakfilly will be called "unāl-ēkunre" which means selected leader in Steakfilly's home tongue of Handlian

He also revealed the first day of the celebration, the day of sacrifice to Triantan

The Processes of the Celebration
The celebration consisted of a day of celebration and thanksgiving, a feast with strangers, a feast with people of different religions, a day of quiet in respect for Triantan, a day of sorrow for wrongdoings and the death of ancestors, and multiple sacrifices for the well being of Triantan and mankind. Steakfilly wrote all of these down in a book called "The Triantad"

The Oath of Lithranor
Another thing written in the Triantad is The Oath of Lithranor on the last page. Steakfilly swears an oath to the nation of Lithranor to defend them at all costs, wherever and whenever, and for whatever reason. After this Steafilly swore an oath with MickieBoJ, one of the leaders of Lithranor, to always defend the nation, as long as he defended his religion

The deities in Triantanism
The religion of triantanism consists of multiple divine deities aswell as one god

Triantan
The god of rathnir and creator of the earth. Is believed to have created the souls of all humans. He is formally described as a man, but has no sex. His body is described in visions as a three sided figure with no human features, and made of vibrant, unnaturally bright and colorful metals. He is omnibenevolent and is extremely powerful.

Cruine
The creator and ruler of eldham. Not much is known of him besides his job, and supposedly, in a vision to steakfilly, the triads described him saying: "Cruine is not perfect like our father, but he is a pretty nice guy" He is much more prone to accepting and replying to sacrifices than triantan. He is also not to be described as a god

Àrmāt
This deity is a part of malestine tradition and is believed to have been carved from stone by Cruine. Cruine, realizing what he had done, attempted to kill Àrmāt. But Triantan saw his dignity and made his son spare him. Traditionally he is believed to travel between continents and creating new peoples. He is the patron of warriors and is often pictured with an axe.

Triads
The triads are angel-like beings with no bodies. They spent much of their time weeping and praying for mankind, and take turns carrying men to and from rathnir and eldham. On rare occasions they will be sent down to talk to humans, mainly prophets

known triads

 * OenkaBoenka
 * Steve
 * thrainun
 * tonkorak

Tonkorak
a being that triantan created to be the second most powerful, but when he disobeyed he was made into a human. He killed himself, but was so powerful he became a demon-like deity who causes chaos and temptation among humans. He is also the brother of Cruine

Starce
Starce (pronounced /stäɾzə/) are a very obscure part of the religion. They are only briefly mentioned in the first dream of creation, where they take the form of strands of light. They are believed to be servants of Triantan, and provide lifeforce and consciousness to people

The Meeting of the Messanger
in lithranor, a man appeared who seemed as an outsider. He was attacked, as the lithranorians thought he was a bandit. But out of the quarreling he shouted "is this what triantan would want?!" And steakfilly told his peers to stop, as only the people of lithranor knew of his god. The man revealed himself as a triad of triantan, and a messenger to steakfilly, and his name was OenkaBoenka. They stopped and the man told steakfilly to sacrifice immediately, as god was crying in sorrow, before leaving swiftly. Directly after the sacrifice of a lamb and wheat, rain started to pour down. Steakfilly cried throughout the night for the sins and sorrows of men. The rain continued to the next day, until the Triad came back, in which it stopped immediately.

The Sacrifice and the Prophecy
Steakfilly and lDragonFirel prepared a calf from Steve, a cow who is a triad of Cruine. OenkaBoenka had them offer wheat and the cow for sacrifice, aswell as a potion of strength, a blessed bundle of wheat, and sweet berries, to mark the significance and importance of this divine promise. He named steakfilly a prophet of triantan, and promised prosperity for him and lithranor, for they are just. But, through all the time until now, steakfilly had been sacrificing on ground, as lithranor is a flrat land, which is not what the holy book of sacrifice says.

The Founding of the Meeting place
So the triad took him to a distant mountain, called mount Trigono, high above all nations, and prayed a prayer to the triads. This gave steakfilly the ability to be transported by the triads to the mountain at any time, to succeed in proper sacrifice. This holy promise was to protect the future of the prophet and his sworn nation.

The Entering of the Dream
As per usual, steakfilly slept, but in a small, recreational cave in lithranor. He slept on a bench, and in his sleep he was struck by a dream. Suddenly, he became lucid and was in a fridged and large body of water. He was filled with a strange feeling, similar to a high, but fully aware and precise feeling. The now prophet, knew it was a revelation, and accepted his father into his soul.

Setting
The setting consisted of a triangle shaped, cold, and large body of water. the sky was a pure white with swirls of vibrant colors moving. The supposed lake was floating in endless space, with no sides to hold it, nor ground to support it.

First Actions
As steakfilly swam across the water, it did not ripple. Rather, it seemed to fit everything perfectly and not needing to move*note. He swam to the edge and looked down, but felt no fear of the height. A strange feeling filled him, which made him feel safe and fullfilled. Steakfilly then decided to look upwards, where he saw the vibrant colors, as they started to move towards the pool. They filled the pool and made it bright. A bright that is undescribable. It was the brightest thing the man had ever seen, but, despite most bright lights like the sun, he could not bare to look away from it.

*note
the perfect fit of him is a symbol of how triantan doesnt exist, but rather is the definition of existing, so everything that exist fits in him perfectly and he cannot overflow

The Procesi omnadi
This name was given to the following events. The water started to grow faster than any man ran or any dolphin swam. The light spread out, and some of the "strands of light", as the prophet called them, collided in huge flasheds, creating balls of pure white and blue light that inhabit the darkness. He saw as a hand stretched out from the water and placed souls in each and ever ball of light. Other strands nicked eachother, and in that process small chips came off and started to float around the space. Some came together in cubical patched, which the balls of light, which now had ressembled stars, organized and threw into the water. Again, no ripple. The water seemed to move the cubes into a shape ressembling a triangle, and then the water came to rest. And then, every strand came out of everything that had just been made, and leaving them behind, traveled up to the center of the space, formed into one supermassive triangle, called "mankum thowvum", and exploded. All of the strands spread throughout the universe, and it left an empty and serene plain with oceans dotted between, on a triangle shaped land, held in a massive space surrounded by stars and a stain of light left in the sky, which became the sun.

Ordination of Stātenā
His name was grandrobotguy, but steakfilly found him on the ruins of alessandria, and took him in as his own. He recieved prophecy from triantan that very night, in which he described a ceremony of forgiveness of enemy. He was given the name "Stātenā", which means "The one of dung" in handlian. This is because steakfilly found him dirty, and brought him annew. He is now an official prophet of triantan

The Era of Triantan's Absence
This was an era where no prophets felt the presence of Triantan. The only visions in this time were received by steakfilly and were spoken by triads. These include:


 * The revelation of Creation
 * The revelation of the thodhite peoples
 * The vision of the falling of Yimmu-Audal
 * The vision of the mother of the prophet

Here is a prayer by OenkaBoenka about the absence of god in the language of triads:"'irthalea ikrii oranta, to trigono boturaono eginail etokimo, anney denta upaxeiosse exilegioosi thisiona, alutux triantan t nemizei oti aux gios the einai nekros'"

Who They Are
The Throdhites are a subrace belonging to the malestines, a people who live in a land north of eldham. They are distantly related to some upper-class citizens in carvay, but that is all that is known of their relatives besides the tainens. The Throdhites are a nomadic people who are descendants of Throdh, a warrior of an ancient time.

The Revelation
Steakfilly describes in his journal that a triad came to him in a dream and told him to go to the marshlands north of jirn. He did that, and there he found traces of an ancient people. It was revealed to him that these are the remnants of the throdhites, his closest living relatives. They are said to come out of hiding in the ruins of the sporeborne people in tarnwick and their holes in the swamp grounds the day that yimmu-audal falls. This is found in book III of steakfilly's journal.

The Ending of the Era of Absence
The head prophet became ill and was told by his god to travel to Handl, north of Eldham. Then Steakfilly departed and stayed with a friend in Eldham for many weeks to be cured. While Steakfilly was gone, OenkaBoenka and MickieBoJ spread the faith, traveling to distant continents and attempting to make up for the loss of followers that occured after the fall of Lithranor and Athellos (korinthe/modern day alessandrea).
