Edelsteen - Church Of The Holy Gemstone

Introduction:
Edelsteen, the Church Of The Holy Gemstone, is the belief of a goddess who created the world and the holy gemstone that grants peace, power and prosperity to all who believe in it.

Beliefs:
Edelsteen is the name of the goddess who created the holy gemstone. She also created the world and pure, impure and sinful gemstones. After death Edelsteen may grant reincarnation if oneself have done enough good deeds, or turn oneself into a gemstone of a certain purity if oneself did as much good as bad in oneself lifetime. Edelsteen may also reincarnate oneself into a Zuiver, a human purer than any other and who will spread the good word of Edelsteen, if oneself have only done good in their lifetime. However, if oneself have only caused evil and chaos, after death Edelsteen will punish oneself harshly by turning oneself into Sinful gemstones which are looked down upon. There is also the belief that everyone has a part of Edelsteen in them, known as Kristal. Kristal is a part of Edelsteen's spirit that is infused in all life in Edelsteen's world. One's Kristal is very delicate and a slight mistake might turn one's Kristal evil or pure. It can be affected by others or by oneself, and sometimes even Edelsteen herself if she sees fit.

Gemstones:
There are three types of Gemstones. Pure, Impure and Sinful. All gemstones represent a value or a sin and all have meaning in the world of Edelsteen.

Pure Gemstones
Pure gemstones include Diamond ( which represents power ) and Emerald ( which represents prosperity ). Both are just as pure and are the purest gemstones other than the holy gemstone itself. Those who are reincarnated into these gemstones have done mainly good in their lifetime, but were not pure enough to be reincarnated.

Impure Gemstones
Impure gemstones include Obsidian ( which represents resilience ), Gold ( which represents wealth ), Iron ( which represents strength ) and Coal ( which represents support ). Obsidian is the purest impure gemstone, while Gold is the second purest impure gemstone, Iron is third, and Coal is fourth. Impure gemstones are what people are reincarnated into if they did relatively more good than evil in their lifetime. The lesser good deeds they do compared to their sins, the less pure of a gemstone they will get reincarnated into.

Sinful Gemstones:
Sinful gemstones include Netherrack ( which represents pain ) and Bone ( which represents death ). Both gemstones are the least pure gemstones in the world of Edelsteen. They are what people are reincarnated into if they have only caused suffering to others or themselves or they have sinned one too many times.

Sins:
Sins include the 5 Chaos Sins and 5 Evil Sins, totaling up to 10 sins. Chaos Sins are those that cause pain to others while Evil Sins are those that cause pain to oneself.

5 Chaos Sins:
The 5 Chaos Sins are:


 * Rage - Rage is the sin of angering or irritating someone. One should never anger someone on purpose as doing so is causing chaos to the other party's Kristal.


 * Fright - Fright is the sin of scaring someone or causing trauma to someone. One should never frighten someone on purpose as doing so is causing chaos to the other party's Kristal.


 * Dismal - Dismal is the sin of saddening or disheartening someone. One should never depress someone on purpose as doing so is causing chaos to the other party's Kristal.


 * Disgust - Disgust is the sin of sickening someone. One should never disgust someone on purpose as doing so is causing chaos to the other party's Kristal.


 * Hurt - Hurt is the sin of hurting someone verbally or causing pain to someone mentally. One should never anger someone on purpose as doing so is causing chaos to the other party's Kristal.

5 Evil Sins:
The 5 Evil Sins are:


 * Greed - Greed is the sin of constantly wanting more and is never satisfied with what they have. One should always appreciate what they have so as to have a calm Kristal.


 * Arrogance - Arrogance is the sin of being too proud of what you are and not being humble. One should never be too proud of what they are as doing so will cause the other party's Kristal to be Greedy or Envious of you causing both parties to turn evil.


 * Envy - Envy is the sin of being jealous of someone for their superior status. One should always appreciate what they have and constantly want what others have so as to have a calm Kristal.


 * Lethargy - Lethargy is the sin of being unproductive and lazy, for the wrong reasons. One should never be so unproductive and lazy, unless you are taking a break after working hard or is sick, as doing so cause one's Kristal to turn lethargic, and they will never progress in life.


 * Diffidence - Diffidence is the sin of not having any self-confidence and constantly thinking low of oneself. One should never think that they are the worst in the world, everyone has good in them and no one is perfect, so doing so is causing one's Kristal to not trust itself.

Zuivers:
Zuivers are those who Edelsteen sees fit as the spreaders of the good word of Edelsteen and the protectors of the holy gemstone. After death, when Edelsteen judges one to get reincarnated, if Edelsteen sees how much good in oneself, she will reincarnate them into Zuivers. However, when Zuivers abuse their power, Edelsteen will punish them severely through reincarnating one into a Sinful Gemstone.
