Orchidism

Orchidism is a religion founded by player bYonath and is the main religion in Hagusaki(Shakumagu).

 Creation 

Orchidists believe that planet we live on today was once just a barren rocky wasteland with no life on the surface. The core of the planet however was home to the realm of spirits and ghosts called The Core. The spirits residing within the core were being neutral in nature, meaning they were neither inherently good nor evil. Eventually The Core gave birth to 2 spirtis known as [insert name here] or Dirt and [insert name here] or Water. Together Dirt and Water broke out of the The Core and escaped to the surface where they began turning the rocky landscape into lush jungles, rolling hills , freezing tundras and deep oceans. Along with shaping the evironment and landmasses they also created the many creatures inhabiting the world today. Special among these being the Orchids which they bestowed special powers upon, what exactly these powers and what their extents were remains unknown. [name here] and [name here] breaking out of The core however also caused the many other spirits inhabiting it to break free.These spirits would wander this new world and observe the many creatures inhabiting it.

Tribes and Spirits

Eventually the many groups created by [name here] and [name here] would start settling down in tribes and small towns. One of these being the ancient Swamp Tribes and Jungle Tribes. These two groups of tribes would settle in the swamps and jungles of what is today Hagusaki. In the beginning the two groups had relatively good relations. That is until some jungle tribe members started acting overly aggressive and started attacking others including the swamp tribe. These attacks started started becoming more and more frequent and noone knew the cause behind them. Eventually some swamp tribe members decided to plant the naturally growing orchids around the village. When the next attack came swamp tribe members noticed that the jungle tribe members actively avoided the orchids and would seemingly stop their rampage when coming into contact with one for a long enough period of time. Seeing this the swamp tribe members started worshipping the orchids and tieing them to their weapons to ward of the jungle tribe. This seemed to work well for the swamp tribe......(ill do the rest later cause lazy)

Saken
Sometime after Orchidism was founded a person known as Sakizu (later referred to as "Saken") would be born and would become the only known goddess of the Orchids. She would become skilled at Swordsmanship and would fight some of the battles against the Jungle tribes (Notice: this was before the Jungle attacked less frequently) During this time, the Orchids would have a golden Hue whenever Sakizu passed by them signaling that they had favor with her.

However at that time there was a very powerful Jungle tribe member whos name remains unknown. Said Jungle tribe member would win a duel against Sakizu to which the Swamp tribes would mourn her death. Due to the Orchids having favor with her she would become a spirit and wander Haziki, unable to interact with the Swamp tribes, witnessing their fall and would be cursed to wander the ruins of her former home.
