The Spark



=The Spark= is a monotheistic religion, and a philosophy believing in a single deity of "The Spark"

Origin of the Spark
"It awoke, not in this reality. From other realms it arose seeping with power and energy, and it travelled. Travelled the countless, infinite realms until it arrived, it arrived in our world. It was amazed by it, and fell in love with this land, and so it stayed here. At first, it observed, it watched the land grow and change. It watched it's inhabitants go on by their daily lives. It watched them wage war, and destroy each other. What it respected the most was the dedication of it's people and the hope they had in their hearts. In a certain time, it started communicating to mortals of this realm. In their dreams, in their minds, it revealed itself to them. It taught them of reality, and taught them of hope, dedication and passion, and it told them to spread the word of these wonders, to the whole of this world. A few of them truly understood, and truly did. These prophets travel lands far and wide, spreading the word as the great Spark told them."

The Divines
Some individuals throughout ages, have been granted, for their unending dedication and hope for their cause, place among the Spark after their death. There are a few such divines. One of the most note worthy is Terenia

Terenia was a powerful sorceress refugee from a land long forgotten to the sands of time. She, with other refugees from this land, trying to escape certain death, showed unending devotedness to her cause, and when they finally arrived, at a supposed paradise, they found only a barren wasteland, filled with death. Terenia however, so determined to save her people, sacrificed herself, and used all her powers she gathered as a sorceress to turn this barren wasteland to a blooming paradise, as it should have been. For this, she has ascended to divinity and was granted a place among the Spark.

Today many followers worship Terenia and the other Divines, hoping they will grant them their favor.

The beliefs of it 's followers
  "Lighting a single spark may send forth a cascade of events, that change the very foundations of civilization. That is how the Spark taught us." By this, the followers of the Spark spread the word.  

To become a follower of the Spark one must only show willingness to accept the Spark as their deity, for the spark values their devotedness to itself. If one is able to do such a thing, the Spark and the divines may grant them their favor to do good, or bad. If one however, rejects the holy Spark after accepting it's power, this individual is marked as a heretic and it is up to the inquisition to deal with such occurrences.
