Quincy

The Quincy Religion is based on the worshipping of supernatural entities called  Die Quincy Obergötter , who inhabit the 4th-dimension. A worshipper of Quincy can pray to any of the canonical Obergötter, thus creating many smaller sects with diverse morals and beliefs. This wiki focuses mostly on the main branch, that being the Silberne Quincy-branch.

Founding
The founder of the religion TheOtakuKaiser (The first Grand Falcon of The Wandenreich), who was a casual believer in soleannen at the time, had been hearing a strange voice calling out to him while working on constructing Silbern. He woke up one day to find a blonde man sitting at his table, this man being the Obergötter named Dietrich. Dietrich explained who or what he is and showed proof of his other-worldly power. Dietrich left the bewildered Grand Falcon behind, who just realized the stories of his ancestors might be real after all.

The Grand Falcon consulted the natives and baptized himself to become a extreme follower of Quincy. He ordered the construction of many temples and changed the Wandenreich from a secular state to a state following Quincy (while maintaining the freedom of religion laws)

Die Quincy Obergötter
The Quincy Obergötter are a race of 4 dimensional beings that have powers that get strengthened by how many people worship them, thus making them search for human followers. All Obergötter can manifest themselves in front of those from lower dimensions, but more worshiped Obergötter can greatly influence the world. There are many Obergötter, but here is a list of the canonical Obergötter:


 * Dietrich - a nihilistic Obergott who beliefs that no good nor bad exists in the world. Dietrich is the Obergott who has manifested himself in the 3D world the most, believing that it's the best way to consult their followers and find suitable followers. (prefers to appear as a blonde man, dressing himself very flamboyantly)
 * Gründgens - a ambitious Obergott who helps those with ambition and passion. Gründgens has been thought to be Solaris, as both have been trapped in the sun, but Gründgens seems to have more power then Solaris has in soleannen myths.
 * Durchdenwald - a sly Obergott who finds pleasure in helping those in despair, especially those who seek revenge. Durchdenwald is one of the more ruthless Obergötter, since he wont hesitate to spill the blood of humans and even his fellow Obergötter. (prefers to appear as predator animals like wolves, bears and lions)
 * Leichtenberg - a friendly Obergott who wishes to help the human race, helping those who wish for peace and prosperity. Leichtenberg has always been the most caring Obergot. (prefers to appear as whatever makes the onlookers the most comfortable, this normally being a tall woman in a beige toga)
 * Nachtnebel - a terrifying Obergott who seems to be surrounded by death and decease. Some followers theorize that Nachtnebel is the same as entropy, since most of the encounters with Nachtnebel have been in areas where Entropy is worshipped. (prefers to appear as a young woman with long, black hair)
 * Schimmelpfennig - a chaotic Obergott deemed as highly dangerous and deceiving by the Quincy church. Schimmelpfennig has had many incidents where they killed mindlessly, wiping out whole continents of innocent lives and even those who worship them. (prefers to appear as a harmless old man in a trench coat)

Beliefs
Most sects in the Quincy faith have different beliefs, but there are some universal beliefs followed by all sects. All followers of Quincy accept that the universe wasn 't created by anyone, and that science is still always the best answer to our questions. This belief also means that we humans do not exist for any specific reason, thus making many followers nihilistic, some even going to the extreme that nothing matters in this world. It' s generally accepted to depict the Obergötter in paintings and sculptures, and spreading holy scriptures via translations is also approved of.

Baptization
There are multiple ways to get baptized, getting dipped into holy water by a priest being the most common way. More uncommon ways include: getting executed by the heilige Waffen, participating in a crusade, completing a pilgrimage, obtaining supernatural powers from a Obergott and getting knighted.

Buildings of worship
Temples for worship can range from many sizes, with smaller chapel sized temples for smaller communities while big cathedral-size temples get build for cities. Worshipping can range from simple prayers to complicated offerings (most Obergötter accept smaller offerings like bread and minerals, but some might request obscure offerings like someone's head). All temples follow a distinct style of architecture, this is still being decided.

Knighthood: Sternritters
Sternritters are traditionally nobles in the Silbernian tribes who followed Quincy. Their position did not change much after The Wandenreich united the region, but they could now be knighted by the Grand Falcon. Modern sternritters are normally nobles who help with ceremonies and matters related to the local branch of Quincy.

The Quincy Code
There are certain rules that come with being a follower of Quincy, these are:


 * 1) Having a harem is a great offense if you can't keep all of them satisfied.
 * 2) Worshipping a non-canonical Obergott means that you will be seen as a heretic.
 * 3) insulting the image of a saint is seen as treason, since saints lost their lives to help further the faith.
 * 4) Theft is seen as treason, we should not make the faith weaker by taking another's wealth.

The Robotertod incident
The Robotertod incident is a great example of when worshipping the wrong Obergott can bring doom to oneself. A early-industry era nation far away from Rathnir and Eldham was in a deep pit after a 10 year long conflict with it's neigboring nations. Schimmelpfennig took interest in the place and managed to get a sizeable amount of worshippers in the nation, before stepping towards the factory owners with the technology of advanced machines and robots. These new inventions helped boost the nation to prosperity and could even help fill factories, making the life expectancy of the poorer classes skyrocket. All seemed great until Schimmelpfennig started a terrible massacre, all the robots in the nation started slaughtering all forms of life and started attacking neigboring countries. The continent, now a wasteland occupied by decaying buildings and machines, hasn't seen any forms of live for two centuries.
