Boaterism

The Followers of the Boat is a religion that believes boats are the reincarnated spirits of the dead. The six types of boat symbolize different things. The Spruce boat represents Priests and Heroes, the Oak Boat represents the common people, the Acacia Boat represents the animals, the Dark Oak Boat represents monsters/mobs, the Jungle Boat represents plants, and the Birch Boat represents criminals. There are no gods in the religion, only powerful spirits.

Holy sites
The Boat tower in Fjörgyien, is regarded as a very important place for The Followers of the Boat, due to the sheer amount of boats there. The Boat tower is regarded as a symbol of restoration, as it frequently gets destroyed and quickly rebuilt.

The portion of the Enithcia River in Hierapolis is also regarded as important place for The Followers of the Boat because one of its founders found an extremely large amount of treasure there. As he says, "What is the boat without the water underneath?"

History
The Followers began when Saunic Spud and Harold Ad Alendir noticed a type of importance in the boat tower. Saunic and Harold decided to look into this, and by doing some experiments, discovered the spirits that lived inside the boat tower. Upon further inspection, Saunic and Harold found that every single boat had spirits inside them. When they were experimenting, they both heard a voice inside their heads. The voice said "Finally, someone recognized our existence. We have been guiding the people for many years, even though they did not know. Spread the word of our existence across the land, please. I was getting bored. Oh, yeah. Here's a book of all the stuff we do." After that, a book ascended down, containing everything related to the Boat Spirits, and what they wanted Saunic and Harold to spread. On 6/11/2023, Harold resigned from the position of High Priest.

Toppling of the Boat Tower and Rebuilding
On 6/20/2023, Zelphyr Rosaê toppled down the boat tower. This has happened many times in the past, usually caused by Zelphyr Rosaê or Lachs, such as the time when the boat tower reached around one hundred blocks into the air, but this time, Saunic lurking just around the corner. After it fell down, Saunic attacked Zelphyr in revenge for the boat tower. Zelphyr was okay after this, though. Ten days later, on 6/30/2023, Saunic started reconstructing the Boat Tower.

Misc.
The followers of the boat jokingly refer to Slid Zane Teutonicus Bab-ad Alendir as the "Boat Messiah" due to him initially constructing the boat tower.
