Zefranian Lux

Zefranian Lux not to be confused with Luxite Nationalism is an offshoot of Lux, though still extremely closely tied to the original Lux. This offshoot was created, as the cultures was so different between the Solisian and Zefranians, so the religion could be integrated more easily into Zefrania. There are also some aspects in, traditional Lux which is practiced in it's birthplace of Solisios, which the Zefranians doesn't necessarily agree with.

Lux
Lux is the sun goddess. She, the main god, has not been changed in any major aspects in the Zefranian offshoot of Lux. She still is the goddess of life, strength and light. She is not as in the normal version of Lux, in an eternal war with the dark gods. The Zefranians believe that everything comes to an end, which the "eternal war" will as well. It has been theorized that it will end with Lux dealing a decisive blow, and the world being filled with light forever more, all evil and violence will be removed from the worlds of Eldham and Rathnir. She, still is believed to appear as a beautiful woman, wearing white clothes, with a golden glowing crown (perhaps made of glow stone and gold?). She is also equipped with a golden staff. Though as the Zefranians believe in war, she is also many times being depicted holding a scimitar made of the purest gold and holding a shield with the banner of Lux on it.

She is merciful, kind and generous. Of the witnesses who have spotted her, she is described as having helped them through rough times, heavily influencing their life, and bringing it on track to make it better. She is known to bring miracles, for an example when she re-filled the rivers of Acodon, assuring the Acodonians survival, and not a mass drout in the entire area.

Tenebris
Tenebris is still believed to be the god of chaos, having taken some powers and ideals from Entropy. He is mainly still the same as he is in the normal version of Lux. Though, he is more worshipped, as more of a god of war, helping his believers through brute force not shying away from helping them in battle. He is described as wearing dark mysterious clothes, wearing a hood, disguising himself as a normal human from time to time, as to make people feel less vunourable in his presence, though still spreading his "wisdom" to these people. He is described as being manipulative, merciless, prideful and all around evil and without a moral compass. He is not too well liked, though a solid number of people in Zefrania worships him. He is considered the exact opposite to Lux.

The Behemoth
The Behemoth, is heavily associated with Zefrania - believed to be a majestic powerful creature created by Lux, to be more of a peacekeeper to keep control of the mortal realm, whilst Lux is focusing on fighting her own battle with Tenebris. It holds great power, thus it was abused and used by the mortal humans, who, in some way managed to take control and conquer this beasts powers. Using it to their own benefit, eventually this creature would die. All that remains is it's tusks, which was made into powerful swords. And it's ribcage, which is on display to the public, though it had to be repaired through the use of calcite and quartz crystals.

Pburadi: The Lord of Death and Warfare
The Zefranians see Pburadi which is usually considered a demi-god as a full god deserving greater worship.

The Luxites of Zefrania worships Pburadi a lot, because of the reason wars and upcoming wars, where he is said to have sparked a flame within the soldiers, brining them strength and bravery. Some even say that he was disguised as a soldier in the war, the soldier whom he was discussed has was unknown, since he didn't talk which many of the soldiers did. Acting stone cold, he disappeared before the battle would commence which only led to more confusion of this unknown character. But afterwards, the soldiers who were reported as nervous and not ready to fight, felt bravery and ran out with no regards for their life or well being winning the battle. He is also have said to be one of the reasons of the low numbers of Zefranian casualties.

Pburadi is the lord of death and warfare. He is described as wearing military clothing, with large metal iron plates. He is holding a spear and shield. He is not merciful, showing no regards to his enemies. He is brave, and shows no fear. He is heavily indoctrinated into the Zefranian army, making the Zefranian soldiers assured he'll always have their back. This gives the soldiers his bravery and strength.

Parabu: The Lady of Life and Prosperity
The Zefranians, whilst heavily believing in glory and respect through conquest, blood and wars. Also believe in a solid economy, and their people being able to live in comfort, being well fed and genuently happy. Which is why Parabu is worshipped alot. She brings life to the crops of Zefrania, feeding the people and the miners luck with finding gold to boost the nation's economy.

She is believed to be kind, forgiving and helpful. She in many ways mirror Lux's personality. She is believed to wear a long white dress, and have long blonde hair. Carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Luxite Nationalism
Luxite Nationalism is a form of government founded in Acodon, which believes Luxites to be superior, mirroring military dictatorships to a large extent, though still being more liberal. It is heavily associated with Zefranian Lux, though way less extreme - Zefranian Lux believing that, you are allowed to believe in other gods, but you should see Lux as the god of gods, she is superior to whichever other god you believe exists.

Literature
Zefranian Lux's Litterature is large scaled, dating back from the ancient Kuzat era. Detailing Lux, and the ways that the Zefranians have modelled it and the reasons why they have done so. Litterature is believed to bring great wisdom, therefor it is protected and heavily valued by the Zefranians - Which they believe it should be by every Luxite. They believe that a religion isn't a true religion without it's fair share of literary pieces, available to anyone who wishes to read, discover or perhaps expand their knowledge on the subject.

Respect Through Wars and Bloodshed
Whilst the Zefranians are relativly peaceful, due to their backgrounds as an ancient nomad tribe, and them modelling themselves after the Kuzat Empire, sees one of the easiest ways to get respect is to slay someone or through great conquest. Only when it is found necesary though, un-provoked killings are deeply frowned upon. And un-provoked wars are as well.

Rituals
There is only one ritual in Zefranian Lux. It requires you to drink a beverage which gives you strength for 5 minutes, in these 5 minutes you must prove to Lux that you are worthy of her blessing.
