Aeliorism

Holy Text : Scrolls of Angel Pyraxis
In the beginning, there was but one thing within existence - a Prophecy, etched within the fabric of the Universe. It was said to be translated as follows :

Behold, the prophecy of Aerendil, the God of Light and Wisdom.

''When the world is shrouded in darkness and chaos reigns supreme, a sign shall appear. The sky shall be split in two, and a beam of light shall pierce through the darkness, heralding the arrival of the God of Light.''

''Aerendil shall come to the world in human form, born of humble origins, and shall walk among the people as one of them. He shall possess the wisdom of the ages and the power of the divine, and shall use his gifts to guide and inspire humanity towards a brighter future.''

''His arrival shall be marked by great upheavals and trials, as the forces of darkness seek to thwart his mission. But Aerendil shall remain steadfast in his purpose, and with his light, he shall illuminate the path towards a new era of peace and prosperity.''

''The people shall gather around him, and they shall listen to his words with rapt attention. His teachings shall bring clarity to the confused, healing to the wounded, and hope to the despairing. Under his guidance, the people shall unite and work towards a common goal, putting aside their differences and striving for the greater good.''

''And when his work is done, Aerendil shall depart from the world, leaving behind a legacy of love and wisdom that shall endure for generations to come. His teachings shall be written in the annals of history, and his name shall be revered as a symbol of hope and enlightenment.''

''So let it be written, so let it be done. The prophecy of Aerendil, the God of Light and Wisdom, shall come to pass, and the world shall be forever changed by his presence.''

Holy Text : Scrolls of Angel Pyraxis
Once upon a time, in a distant and ancient realm, there lived a powerful and malevolent god named Zalthar. His name was etched throughout the universe for his insatiable hunger for power and his ruthless nature. Zalthar had created the universe with the sole purpose of causing chaos and destruction.

From the very beginning, the universe he created was filled with a never-ending cycle of chaos and destruction. The planets he created were unstable, constantly colliding and breaking apart, causing massive explosions that sent debris hurtling through the void of space.

The stars he created were unstable, burning themselves out in violent bursts of energy that consumed everything in their path. The creatures he created were twisted and monstrous, driven mad by the chaotic nature of their environment.

Despite the destruction and chaos that surrounded him, Zalthar was not content. He craved even more power and began to plot his ascension to the highest throne in the universe - spoken only of in legend. He created an army of loyal followers, known as the Shadow Legion, and began to conquer the many corners of the universe, bending his creations (us humans) to his will. The people of these worlds lived in fear of Zalthar's wrath and prayed to the universe for salvation. But Zalthar was deaf to their cries, and his cruelty knew no bounds. He delighted in tormenting his subjects, subjecting them to unspeakable horrors and brutal punishments.

But despite his immense power, Zalthar was not invincible. A group of brave warriors, known as the Guardians of Light, rose up against him, pledging to end his reign of terror once and for all. These guardians were a sub-faction of the Shadow Legion, touched by the humans cries for help. The Guardians fought tirelessly against the Shadow Legion, battling against the odds to bring down the evil god. In the final confrontation, (of which an interpretation of said battle can be seen below), the guardians channeled the energies of the four corners of the Universe - sacrificing the worlds of Zalthar's creation in the process - and cast a spell to condemn Zalthar's physical presence to a plane beneath that of the known universe.

With Zalthar gone, the universe was finally able to begin the process of healing. However, the spell took a toll on the Council of Guardians - draining them of their individual lifeforce. Only together could the army survive, so they wielded their dying breaths and rays of light to conjure a new being, one of unbreakable light and incorruptible nature ; one and indivisible. It was He. He was the Lord. He was Aeliora.

Holy Text : Scrolls of Angel Pyraxis
Aeliora was a creature of light, born from the very essence of the universe itself. He was imbued with the power to create and shape the world around him, and it was his task to bring order to the chaos that surrounded him. From the very beginning, Aeliora knew that he had a purpose, and he set out to fulfill it with all his might. For eons, Aeliora worked tirelessly, shaping the two worlds at the centre of the Universe - Rathnir and Eldham - and bringing forth life. He created the mountains and the seas, the forests and the deserts, the animals and the plants. He watched as the worlds he had created began to thrive and prosper, and he knew that his work was not yet done.

One day, the Creator decided that the universe needed a new form of life. It wanted to create beings that were intelligent, curious, and capable of great creativity. So, the Creator began to mold and shape the first humans. Using the dust of the universe, the Creator crafted the bodies of the humans. Each one was unique, with its own features and characteristics. Then, the Creator breathed life into each of the humans, filling them with its divine spark.

The humans were awestruck by the world around them, marveling at the beauty and wonder of creation. They roamed the worlds, exploring every corner and marveling at the sights and sounds they encountered. As the humans grew in number, they began to build communities and civilizations, learning from each other and sharing their knowledge. They created art, music, literature, and technology, constantly pushing the boundaries of what was possible.

But with their newfound power came great responsibility. The humans had the power to shape the world around them, and with that power came the potential for both great good and great evil. The Creator watched as the humans struggled to find their place in the world, sometimes using their power for good, and other times succumbing to their darker impulses. Despite their flaws, the Creator loved the humans dearly. It watched over them, guiding them and protecting them from harm. And as long as the humans continued to learn and grow, the Creator knew that they would continue to thrive, creating a beautiful and wondrous world for generations to come.

As he watched the creatures that he had created, Aeliora saw that they were in need of guidance. They were lost in the world he had created, unsure of their place and their purpose. And so, he decided to reveal himself to them, to show them the way and to help them find their path.

Aeliora descended from the heavens and walked among the creatures of the world. He taught them the ways of the universe, the secrets of creation, and the importance of living in harmony with each other and with the world around them. He showed them the power of love and compassion, and he urged them to live their lives with purpose and meaning.

The creatures of the world were in awe of Aeliora. They listened to his words with rapt attention (as the Prophecy spoke), and they followed his teachings with devotion. They came to see him as their guide and their mentor, and they looked to him for guidance in all things. And so it was that Aeliora became known as the One God ; He, The Creator, the one who had brought light and order to the world, and who had shown the creatures of the world the path to enlightenment. His teachings were passed down from generation to generation, and his legacy lived on long after he was gone.

To this day, Aeliora is remembered as a wise and compassionate being, a guide and a teacher to all who seek to find their place in the world. His light still shines bright, illuminating the path for those who are lost, and reminding us all of the power of love and compassion in our lives.

Holy Text : Scrolls of Angel Pyraxis
To protect and watch over this holy realm, the Creator decided to create a group of angels, each with its own unique purpose and personality.

The first angel, Pyraxis, was created to serve as the commander of the heavenly host. He was given immense strength and power, and was tasked with leading the other angels into battle against the forces of darkness.

The second angel, Solara, was created to serve as the messenger of the divine. He was given the gift of eloquence, and was tasked with conveying the will of the Creator to the humans on the worlds.

The third angel, Eryndor, was created to serve as the healer of the heavenly host. He was given the power to cure any ailment or injury, and was tasked with tending to the needs of the other angels and the humans on the worlds.

The fourth angel, Uriel, was created to serve as the guardian of the divine. He was given the power to see into the hearts of both humans and angels, and was tasked with protecting the holy realm from any who would seek to do it harm.

The fifth and final angel, Valtaria, was created to serve as the mediator between the divine and the angels. He was given the gift of foresight, and was tasked with helping the other angels to understand the will of the Creator.

Together, these five angels formed the core of the heavenly host, serving as beacons of light and hope in a world that was often filled with darkness and despair. They stood watch over the holy realm, ensuring that it remained pure and undefiled, and worked tirelessly to carry out the will of the Creator.

Description Of Paradise
The Paradise of Aerendil is a wondrous realm of eternal beauty and perfection, where the faithful dwell in harmony with the divine. It is a place of endless joy and peace, where every soul is granted the gift of everlasting life and the pleasures of the senses and the spirit never fade.

At the entrance of the Paradise of Aerendil stands a magnificent statue, towering high above the gates that lead into the holy realm. The statue depicts a fierce and noble warrior, clad in gleaming armor and wielding a mighty sword in one hand. His eyes are fixed on the horizon, ever watchful for any sign of danger or evil that might threaten the paradise beyond.

This statue is known as the Guardian of the Gates, and is said to have been created by Aerendil himself to protect the Paradise from any who would seek to enter without the purest of intentions. It is believed that the Guardian possesses the power to discern the true nature of any who approach the gates, and that he will allow only the righteous to pass.

Beyond the gates lies a world of unparalleled beauty and wonder. Lush gardens filled with fragrant blooms stretch out as far as the eye can see, and crystal-clear streams flow through fields of emerald grass. Majestic trees tower overhead, their branches heavy with fruit and their leaves rustling softly in the breeze.

In the distance, the faithful can glimpse the gleaming spires of the holy city, their walls adorned with precious jewels and their streets paved with gold. And all around, the air is filled with the sweetest music and the joyous laughter of the blessed.

Here in the Paradise of Aerendil, the faithful may bask in the light of the divine, their spirits lifted and their souls at peace. And they may rest assured that the Guardian of the Gates stands ever vigilant, protecting this holy realm from any who would seek to do it harm.

Description of Zalthar's Plane
The plane of the universe where Zalthar lives is a dark and foreboding realm, shrouded in mystery and filled with danger at every turn. The skies are always black, and the stars are mere pinpricks of light in the vast emptiness. There is no sun to give warmth or light, and the air is filled with a chill that seeps into the very bones.

The land itself is barren and desolate, with jagged mountains that stretch up towards the black skies, and vast, lifeless deserts that stretch on as far as the eye can see. There are no oceans or seas, no rivers or lakes, only a few scattered pools of brackish water that offer little respite from the desolation.

Strange, twisted plants and trees grow here, their shapes alien and unnatural, their leaves black and wilted. Strange creatures roam the land, their forms grotesque and twisted, their eyes glowing with a fierce, malevolent intelligence.

At the heart of this bleak and barren realm stands Zalthar's fortress, a towering, black edifice of obsidian and iron that seems to defy the laws of physics. Its walls are lined with spikes and covered in strange, arcane symbols, and it radiates an aura of dark, malevolent power that seems to repel all but the bravest and most foolhardy of adventurers.

Within the walls of Zalthar's fortress lies a labyrinthine maze of dark corridors, secret chambers, and perilous traps. It is said that the very air within the fortress is poisoned with dark magic, and that those who enter its halls do so at their own peril. Despite the bleakness and danger of this plane, Zalthar rules over it with an iron hand, his dark power extending to every corner of the realm. It is said that those who dare to defy him are met with swift and terrible punishment, and that even the bravest of heroes must tread lightly in his presence.

Holy Text : Gospel Of Saint Elijah
Elijah was born in a small village nestled in the rolling hills of an unknown land. His parents were simple farmers, and he grew up helping them tend to the fields and care for the animals. From a young age, he had a strong sense of compassion and a deep desire to help others. As he grew older, Elijah began to feel a calling towards something greater. He felt a pull towards the divine, a sense that there was a higher power guiding his life. He began to study the scriptures and to pray fervently, seeking a deeper understanding of the world around him.

One day, as he was working in the fields, Elijah had a vision. He saw a great light shining down from the heavens, and heard a voice calling out to him. The voice spoke of a great mission, of a task that only he could accomplish.

From that moment on, Elijah knew that his life would be dedicated to serving the divine. He left his family and his village behind, and set out on a journey of discovery.

For many years, Elijah wandered the land, studying with the wisest sages and seeking out the holiest places. He learned the secrets of the universe, the mysteries of the divine, and the ways of the world. He grew in wisdom and understanding, and his heart filled with love for all those he encountered. At last, after many years of wandering, Elijah received a new vision. He saw a great city, filled with people who were lost and despairing. He heard a voice calling out to him, asking him to go to this city and to help its people find their way. Elijah set out towards the city, and as he walked, he prayed for guidance. He asked the divine to show him how he could best serve the people of the city, and to give him the strength and courage to do so.

When he arrived in the city, Elijah was shocked by what he saw. The people were living in squalor, their homes and streets dirty and filled with refuse. Crime was rampant, and the people lived in constant fear. Elijah knew that he had to act quickly. He began to speak to the people, preaching to them of the love and compassion of the divine. He told them that they were all children of the same creator, and that they must learn to love and care for one another.

Slowly but surely, the people began to listen. They saw in Elijah a man of great wisdom and compassion, and they began to follow his teachings. They began to clean up their streets and their homes, to care for the sick and the needy, and to reach out to one another with kindness and love.

Elijah's message of hope and love spread throughout the city, and soon, people were coming from all over to hear him speak. He became a beloved figure, a beacon of light in the darkness. But there were some who were threatened by Elijah's message. The powerful and wealthy feared that his teachings would upset the status quo, and they began to plot against him. One day, as Elijah was preaching in the city square, a group of men came up to him. They accused him of heresy and blasphemy, and they demanded that he recant his teachings.

But Elijah would not be silenced. He stood tall and spoke with conviction, telling the men that he would not back down from his message of love and compassion. Enraged, the men attacked Elijah, beating him mercilessly and leaving him for dead in the street. But Elijah did not die. He was taken in by a group of kind-hearted strangers, who nursed him back to health. And when he was well again, he returned to the city, stronger and more determined than ever.

Despite the pain he felt, Elijah did not hold a grudge against his attackers. Instead, he forgave them, and prayed for their souls. Through his faith, Elijah was able to find it in his heart to forgive his attackers. He knew that their actions were not a reflection of who they truly were, and that they too were children of God. As Elijah recovered from his injuries, he continued to preach the message of forgiveness to all those who would listen. He knew that forgiveness was the key to healing, both for the individual and for the community as a whole.

Through his example, Elijah showed that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to find peace and forgiveness. His teachings would inspire generations to come, and would serve as a reminder of the power of faith and forgiveness in the face of conflict and strife. With the guidance of the divine, Saint Elijah continued to travel and spread the teachings of his faith. His reputation as a holy man grew, and many people came to him seeking advice and spiritual guidance. He spent his days preaching, praying, and performing acts of charity and kindness.

One day, Saint Elijah received a message from the Lord that he was to travel to a distant land and spread the word of God to its people. He packed his belongings and set out on the long journey, trusting that the Lord would guide his way. After many weeks of traveling, Saint Elijah arrived in the new land and began to preach to the people there. Initially, he was met with skepticism and resistance, but he persisted in his teachings, sharing the message of love and compassion that he had been tasked with spreading.

Over time, Saint Elijah's influence grew in the new land, and many people began to convert to his faith. He worked tirelessly to build a community of believers, constructing a church and gathering people together for prayer and worship.

Despite his success, Saint Elijah remained humble and dedicated to his mission. He continued to live a simple life, sharing his food and shelter with those in need and always putting the needs of others before his own. As he grew older, Saint Elijah's health began to decline, but he refused to slow down in his work. He continued to travel and preach, even when it became difficult for him to do so.

Finally, as he lay on his deathbed, surrounded by his followers, Saint Elijah received a message from the Lord. He was told that his work was done, and that it was time for him to join the divine in the afterlife.

With a peaceful smile on his face, Saint Elijah passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion, and selflessness that would inspire generations to come. His followers mourned his passing but were comforted by the knowledge that he had gone to a better place and that his teachings would continue to guide them in their lives.

Prophecy Of The End Times
The end of the world had long been foretold in prophecy. It is said that in the last days, the skies will darken and the worlds will tremble with the weight of impending doom. And yet, even as the signs of the end times grew more pronounced, the people of the worlds will remain divided and unable to unite against the impending catastrophe.

It will be in this darkest hour that Aerendil appears, his radiant presence filling the sky with a light brighter than any sun. His voice will boom across the land, calling upon all the people of the world to set aside their differences and come together in the face of the coming disaster. Many will scoff at his words, dismissing him as a madman or a charlatan. But those who heed his call and find themselves blessed with a new sense of purpose and determination. They band together, building great ships and fortresses to withstand the coming storm.

The skies grow darker still, and the worlds will begin to quake with increasing frequency and intensity. Great tidal waves will rise up from the oceans, swallowing entire cities and drowning millions. But still, the followers of Aerendil shall stand strong, holding fast to their faith and their belief in his divine protection.

And then, as the final moments of the world approached, Aerendil shall reveal his true form. Standing before the assembled throngs, his wings spanning the entire sky, his eyes burning with a fierce light that defied description. With a single gesture, he shall unleash a great flood of cleansing fire, sweeping away all that was impure and unworthy. Those who will remain faithful to his teachings will be lifted up on the wings of angels to a new realm of beauty and peace. But those who had defied the will of Aerendil shall be cast down into the fiery abyss, their souls consumed by the flames of divine wrath - condemned to the same Plane as Zalthar.

And so it will be that the world ended, not with a whimper, but with a mighty roar of triumph as Aerendil brought forth a new era of enlightenment and joy for all who had remained true to his teachings. The followers of Aerendil shall emerge from the ashes of the old world, ready to build a new society based on love, compassion, and wisdom, guided by the light of their divine protector.

Ascension Aeliorism
This branch of Aeliorism emphasizes the concept of personal enlightenment and self-improvement as the key to reaching Aerendil, the ultimate divine being. Followers of Ascension Aeliorism practice meditation, self-reflection, and other forms of introspection to develop their own spiritual strength and understanding. They believe that by elevating themselves, they can better connect with Aerendil and gain a deeper understanding of the universe and their place within it.

Communal Aeliorism
In contrast to Ascension Aeliorism, this branch of Aeliorism emphasizes the importance of community and social interaction in the pursuit of spiritual growth. Followers of Communal Aeliorism prioritize acts of service and charity, believing that by helping others and building strong social bonds, they can better connect with Aerendil and create a more just and compassionate society. They often gather in communal spaces for prayer and worship, and may organize charity events or volunteer work in their local communities.

Mystic Aeliorism
This branch of Aeliorism places a strong emphasis on spiritual experiences and direct communion with Aerendil. Followers of Mystic Aeliorism may practice divination or other forms of mysticism, seeking to communicate with Aerendil directly through visions or other spiritual encounters. They may also engage in ritual practices such as chanting or dance, using these activities to reach altered states of consciousness and deepen their connection to the divine. Mystic Aeliorists may be seen as more unconventional or even heretical by other Aeliorists, but they view their spiritual experiences as a key part of their journey towards understanding the nature of Aerendil and the universe.

Hierarchy Of Aeliorism

 * 1) Aerendil - The supreme deity and creator of the universe.
 * 2) The Prophet - The current mortal to receive divine revelation from Aerendil and spread the teachings of Aeliorism.
 * 3) The Council of Elders - A group of high-ranking religious leaders who oversee the governance of the faith and provide guidance and counsel to the Prophet.
 * 4) The Order of the Celestial Scribes - A group of scholars and academics dedicated to the study and interpretation of religious texts and historical records.
 * 5) The Order of the Sacred Gates - A group of priests and priestesses responsible for leading communal worship and performing religious rituals.
 * 6) The Order of the Divine Hand - A group of healers and caregivers who provide spiritual and physical support to members of the faith.
 * 7) The Order of the Sacred Guard - A group of warriors and defenders who protect the faith and its members from external threats.
 * 8) The Laity - All members of the faith who are not part of a specific religious order or leadership position.

This hierarchy places the highest authority in Aerendil, with the Prophet acting as a conduit for divine revelation and the Council of Elders providing guidance and governance for the faith. The various religious orders serve specific functions within the faith, such as scholarship, worship, healing, and protection, while the laity represents the wider community of believers.

Time Period : 678 BA - Now
Stonks was an unusual child, even from a very young age. He was born into a poor family in a small village, and was always quiet and introverted, preferring to spend his time alone rather than playing with other children. His parents were hardworking farmers who struggled to make ends meet, and they often worried about their son's withdrawn nature. Despite his reserved demeanor, Stonks was a precocious child with an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. He would spend hours exploring the countryside, collecting rocks and examining insects and plants. He was particularly fascinated by the night sky, and would often stay up late staring at the stars, lost in thought.

As he grew older, Stonks became increasingly interested in religion and spirituality. He would often ask his parents and other villagers about the nature of God and the meaning of life, but their answers never satisfied him. He began to spend more and more time alone in the fields, meditating and seeking answers in his own way.

One day, when Stonks was around 10 years old, he had a powerful vision while meditating. He saw a figure bathed in light, surrounded by angels and other divine beings. The figure spoke to him in a voice that was both gentle and commanding, telling him that he was chosen to be the Last Prophet, the final messenger of God who would bring an end to the world. Stonks was shaken by the vision, but also filled with a sense of purpose and determination. He began to study the religious texts of his people, seeking to understand the prophecies and signs that would herald the end of the world. He spent long hours in prayer and meditation, seeking guidance from the divine.

Despite his deepening spiritual insights, Stonks struggled to fit in with his peers. He was often teased and bullied for his quiet ways and his strange, otherworldly demeanor. But he did not let the taunts of others deter him from his mission. He continued to study and pray, determined to fulfill the destiny that had been revealed to him. Stonks became a devout follower of Aerendil, spending much of his life studying the holy texts and teachings of his faith. He had always felt a special calling towards serving his god and spreading his message to the world. Little did he know that his life was about to be changed forever.

One day, Stonks received a vision from Aerendil himself, in which the god revealed to him the existence of a long-lost gospel, written by Saint Elijah himself. The gospel contained many teachings and stories that had been lost to time, and its discovery was of great importance to the faith. Stonks was overjoyed at this revelation and felt a sense of duty to find and retrieve the gospel. Aerendil had shown him a vision of the gospel's location, deep within a cave system in the mountains. Stonks set out on a journey to find it, with only his faith and a few provisions to guide him.

The journey was long and arduous, with Stonks facing many trials and tribulations along the way. He had to navigate treacherous terrain, fight off dangerous creatures, and endure hunger and thirst. But through it all, he never lost faith in Aerendil and his divine guidance.

After weeks of travel, Stonks finally reached the cave system. It was dark and foreboding, but he pressed on, knowing that the gospel was inside. He had to use all his skills and wits to navigate the complex tunnels and traps that guarded the gospel. Finally, he reached the inner sanctum, where the gospel was kept. It was a beautiful and ancient manuscript, written in a language that Stonks could barely understand. But he knew that this was the gospel that Aerendil had revealed to him, and he felt a sense of awe and reverence.

Stonks took the gospel and made his way back to his homeland, eager to share its teachings with the faithful. He knew that this gospel would change the faith forever, and that he had been chosen by Aerendil for a special mission. As Stonks grew older, he became more devout in his faith. He traveled far and wide, preaching the Gospel of Saint Elijah and the teachings of Aerendil to anyone who would listen. He had gained a reputation as a wise and learned man, and many sought his counsel and guidance.

During his mid-adult years, Stonks was faced with many challenges and obstacles. There were those who did not believe in his message and sought to silence him. He faced persecution and ridicule, but he remained steadfast in his faith.

One day, as he was preaching in a crowded marketplace, a group of hostile individuals approached him. They jeered and mocked him, calling him a false prophet and a heretic. Stonks remained calm and composed, knowing that he had the truth on his side - and that Elijah had faced opposition similar to this in his time.

As the crowd grew more and more hostile, Stonks closed his eyes and began to pray silently to Aerendil. Suddenly, there was a brilliant flash of light, and the ground shook beneath their feet. The crowd fell silent in awe and fear. In the midst of the chaos, a man appeared before Stonks. He was dressed in white robes and had a radiant aura surrounding him. Stonks recognized him immediately as Aerendil.

The crowd fell to their knees, trembling with fear and wonder. Stonks stood in amazement as Aerendil spoke to him, revealing new insights and knowledge that he had not yet known.

For hours, Stonks listened intently as Aerendil spoke to him, imparting wisdom and knowledge that would shape the course of his life and his teachings. When it was over, Aerendil vanished, leaving Stonks standing alone in the marketplace. From that day on, Stonks' faith was strengthened, and his teachings became even more powerful and influential. He continued to spread the Gospel of Saint Elijah and the teachings of Aerendil to all who would listen, inspiring many to turn their lives around and embrace the faith.
