Blockism

What is Blockism?

Blockism is an ancient religion described in the Ancient Scrolls of Cornac, Found in a chest under the island. Originally called Poloka-Lotu by the original Cornac Islanders, now long extinct, Blockism is a religion solely based around blocks and their power. Each block has its own essence(s), and there are seven of these described in the Cornac Scrolls; Palapala (father of soils), Maa (mother of rock), A'a (mother of plants), Manu (father of animals), Fa'alilo (father of magic), Uila (mother of electricity and weather) and Via (father of water). Palapala is said to of created the blocks of dirt, mycelium and fungal blocks. Maa created the stone and rock of the grounds below. A'a created the grass, trees and flowers. Manu created all animals and living organisms. Fa'alilo created magic, such as enchanting and portals. Uila created the weather, and Via created the oceans and ice. These essences all serve The Overseer, a unknown form of matter, shape and soul. The Overseer must be refereed to as 'it.' The Overseer has the power to grant you good luck and eternal satisfaction, which can be found placing blocks. Such things can be rewarded by Finishing a build, better luck when mining, and wining wars.

History of the Religion

As said earlier the religion was found by Sage Regulus in a chest below the island... The chest is of unknown origin, ... But when Sage Regulus was placed within a great vision. In this vision Palapala appeared, and said, 'the true path to enlightenment is by The Overseer. Take these scrolls, and study them well to become truly enlightened.' As the vision ended Sage was inspired to pursue a career in literature in Zerdea. The scrolls were then wrote down into a book. Sage placed the book in a top secret location, and wasn't found since. Port Celestial was established upon the island of which he built, and of which the chest speared. Because of this he felt truly enlightened, and decided to write the Way of Life Accords, which are the way of life of the town of Port Celestial. This together established the basis of Blockism.
