Uckism

Uckism is a Religion in Nieden and Sorligste and almost exclusively in The Assoti Kingdom of Farthorn. The Religion's primary gods are Uckaria and Senduriyes, which are the most well known and primary of all the gods.

History
The Religion of Uckism was founded 1000s of years ago by the first Humans and Demons. The people of Uckism believe in many of the same principles of the religions of Luthurn, Twin Dragon, and most importantly Soleannen. It is rooted in a Pacifist lifestyle and working to fight Jealousy and Greed. It tries to push Life and Happiness into all who will listen and welcomes anyone no matter Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or Status. Those who come to the church are welcomed to watch, interact, and be a part of worship with the Monks and holy members of the Religion. There are other segments of Uckism such as Demonian Uckism and Overworld Uckism but this is the main branch of Uckism understood by the people of Rathnir.

Main Beliefs and Practices
In Uckism it is believed that all are good and all can be good but some walk down the path of corruption and hatred. The period of Fallath from April 9th-May 10th is a time when all Uckist worshippers gather and pledge to do something to help those who have fallen or walked down the path of corruption. It usually involves new Statues, Grave Cleanings, and Worship Areas.

Creation
In the beginning there was nothing but the void. Nothing but endless emptiness. Nothing alive and nothing conscious. Then there was the vale. A line of light that separated the Light and Dark. In the dark sprouted evil, disgusting, atrocities and in the light came 2 eggs. These eggs hatched into lizard-like creatures. Uckaria God of the Moon and Senduries God of the Sun. Together they expanded the light into a massive area. They created Animals, Plants, and everything necessary to house the gods. Centuries passed and other gods emerged from the light.The Vale stood as a protectorate from the darkness below. A newly hatched god, crossed through the vale and attempted to destroy the home of Uckaria and Senduriyes. His power was unmatched so the sibling gods created the first men and women. They entrusted these people with a divine power and the first humans defeated the rogue god who was cast down to an alternate dimension created by the 2 high gods known as the nether. It was here that Uckism first rained amongst the inhabitants known as the Demons. These Demons were created to protect the gates that kept the rogue god trapped. Realizing the power of the Gods Senduriyes and Uckaria returned to the border of the vale where gods were born to watchover the Vale. From this emerged 9 more gods who were born from Senduriyes and Lynndaliss. Palaria God of Water, Dialiya God of Flame, Lunalis God of Sound, Gyatar God of Stone, Iyuki God of Love, Oparo God of Animals, Raidaya God of Wind, Tora God of Mist, and Wabara God of Flowers. Together with their Mother and Father they protect the Vale and our world and see to it that their saviors, The humans are protected.
