Gods & Religions of Rathnir

This section is to compile a compendium of the religions and gods which are worshipped in the land of Rathnir.

Abyss Mysticism
Abyss Mysticism is a mysterious religious philosophy, whose subtle influences can be found in a majority of modern religions. It was created by the Prophet Assurdirapal in the ancient times of a different reality. Today, Abyss Mysticism is the core of Valdreach state religion’s doctrine, and some say that the Abyss Mystics have a strong connections with the higher clergy. The followers of this philosophy can officially follow other religions, because of the universal nature of their beliefs, and their true number is known only to few. Nevertheless, according to rumors, their ranks are rapidly growing, and now they have hidden representatives in most nations. While their agenda remains unknown, they seem to value intelligence, wisdom and daring. People who catch their interest may even sometimes receive the offer to join the elusive Order, but only if they pass the test and prove themselves worthy. Some of the numerous scriptures of Abyss Mysticism may be studied here.

Ardatism

Asharu
The Asharu Religion is considered by many to be the oldest consistant faith in all of Rathnir. It is based around animism, its followers believing that every object or concept has a mind of its own. The strengh of its soul is determined by its might, age and universality. The closest thing to a pantheon would be a list of local city deities known as "Elder Spirits", with Ashuntash being their leader. Ashuntash is the spirit of Fire, Law and Enlightenment, he is often depicted as reddish-golden peacock-hawk wearing 1.000.000 feathers. Most Asharu live Haven and Ummarnu, making up the majority religion on Paloro, Uldarash, as well as all of its vassal states.

Ashurite Pantheon
The Ashurite Pantheon is the official religion of the Dominion of Ashura. It's beliefs revolve around their creator Goddess, A'ashal, and her six children who are worshipped as well. Their belief's goal is to see the world turn into a desert like their original homeland. Some minor gods are included as well.

Auronism
Originating as an offshoot of Noxism, Auronites hail the sun god Auron as the chief deity in the pantheon of several different gods. Auron is the sun reborn and cleanses the world of monsters every dawn. As well as providing light for the world he also provides fire, lava and crops, Auronism is primarily followed by the Cult of Auron at Auron's peak, who left Sovdal after the great fires of rathnir.

Bradecarashirism
Bradecarashirism is the Ancient Religion of the Hiarllii people in the Ancient Nation of Quijal (AKA Bradecblight), in Northern Ummarnu, Now a part of the Huitca Federation. It is considered by scholars to be a cross between the Ashurite Pantheon and Cardinalism. Bradecarashirists believe that Dadrikra (AKA A'ashal) is the Highest Goddess and the creator of Rathnir, and they believe in the 4 Cardinalist Gods, but they are known under different names. The Cardinalist Gods of, Calibrius (Cualitzin), The Western Fruit of Quiaust (Tlahatepa), The Southern Fruit of Quibriqn (Xoalcoatl), and Mahobius (Meclahua), are not seen as the creators of the world, but rather the upholders of it. Just like Cardinalism, rituals are performed to satisfy the Gods.

Bradecarashirism was founded 2000 years ago when Lost Ancient Huitca settlers integrated into Elven Tribes in Northern Ummarnu. Dadrikra was worshiped among the Dune Elves of Northern Ummarnu for many millennia, and was adapted by the Huitca settlers two thousand years ago. When the Hiarllii Ethnic Group (Which is Half Elf and Half Human) started to form 200 years later from Huitca x Elf Crossbreeding, they adapted both Cardinalist and Elven values, creating Bradecarashirism, with Dadrikra as the head of the Pantheon. Dadrikra was celebrated on the nation's most important holiday, Founding Day.

The Religion was thought to have died 1000 Years ago, but Tyo'on'tyo Dou'wall, A Reborn Hiarllii, is attempting to revive it in the Huitca State of Zoquiyo.

Church of Six Divines
The Church of Six Divines is a polytheistic religion originating from Illerya, colony of the Kingdom of Daelyria. It's a modernized version of pagan beliefs practiced by the ancient Nortfolk on uncharted islands north of Rathnir. Many years ago said islands froze due to a drastic climate change, forcing their inhabitants to flee south. The modern iteration of the Church of Six Divines came to being because of Kazmeer III of The Tribe Unmourned, who transformed loose pagan beliefs into an organized religion to make it fit better into more civilized societies of Rathnir. They continuously settled and were expelled from kingdoms with lesser freedom of belief, until finally settling in the city of Illerya, built by Kushite refugees where they were accepted into the society and allowed to practice their religion, raised a temple and converted few locals to the ways of the Holy Six.

Followers of this religion often become self proclaimed preachers, traveling across Rathnir spreading their faith far and wide. They don't consider infidels heretics, rather misguided souls who worship their own deities under different names and will try their best to convert said infidels into worshiping the "correct forms" of their deities.

Church of Six Divines believes that humanity shares the power of the long dead deity Populus inside of their souls, and that it's their sacred mission to use it to guard the delicate balance of power between the ever-fighting Divines, for no single deity has the wisdom required to rule the realm without destroying it in the process.

Church of The Broken Realms
The Church of The Broken Realms, or Realminism, believes in different dimensions that have been destroyed due to the actions of it's inhabitants. Notable examples of these are The End and The Nether. People of this religion also believe that gods are created when enough people believe in them. therefore every god in every religion is real to some extent. The founder is Pablito Elquagero

Cardinalism
Cardinalism is the religion of the Huitca people. It is the state-mandated official religion of Tlahatl. Cardinalists worship the four main gods of their pantheon, and believe that those gods uphold the delicate foundation of the universe, known as the Great Balance.

It is unknown if Cluckism has a link to chickens, considering ducks do not cluck.

Granism
Granism is a monotheistic religion that focuses its divine worship on wheat and bread. It is most prevalent in Neo Knossos, however, surrounding villages have begun to adopt this religion of peace. Its roots can be found in Willikanism, a pagan set of beliefs originating in Old Knossos. Today, Granians worship one God with two aspects, one in times of peace and the other in times of war, and while they may follow other religions in accordance with the religious freedoms of Neo Knossos, devout Granians condemn other religions as heretical.

Granism is strongly connected to wheatfields and the production of bread. Fields in which wheat grow are deemed sacrosanct and may only be harvested when the wheat is fully grown. The damaging of unripe crops is considered sinful and is punished severely. Additionally, Granists disavow any other food than bread as unclean and sinful. The consumption of bread is the staple food but also heavily involved in religious ceremony.

Granism acknowledges the divine appearance before two people. Sporos, the peaceful aspect of the Granian God, appeared before Delta in the form of a farmer with a golden hoe as he was tilling his fields. Vilkos appeared to Realz as his people fled the cataclysm of Old Knossos and fed and protected his people with his golden axe. When Delta and Realz met they were divided on the nature of the Granian God until He sent His Prophet in the form of a baker. The Prophet revealed to the heirs of Knossos the two-sided nature and brought religious peace.

The Red Cult, also known as 'Cult of the Blood God', is a shadowy organization that hides behind the scenes of Urnu-Arrak. When the peninsula was young, it's native residents worshiped a malevolent and merciless god that demanded sacrifice and war in return for crops and prosperity. After a majority of the native population went missing, settlers resettled the town and reclaimed much of the ruin that was left in the wake of whatever happened. Husks, lost souls, perhaps those sacrificed to the Blood God, stalk the desert wastes preying on the souls still living among the sands. While most remnants of the religion are gone, the Red Temple and its chambers are still standing tall in the centre of the city.

The Cult of the Wokka
The Cult of the Wokka is a cult that lives in an obscure Dark Oak Forest somewhere in Eldham. The cult was believed to be first organized by the Nightmare, a group that brings out your worst fears while you rest. The modern day nightmares are named after this ancient race. The cult believes that the Wokka is the one true (and terrifying) ruler of the world. The cult aims to slowly sacrifice people in their ritual room until The Wokka is summoned. If the Wokka someday appears, they will give their lives to the Wokka, ascending to The Realm of the Wokka, a place of pure paradise for those who gave their lives and others' for the one true god.

The Cult of Water
The Cult of Water are Waterism extremists. Instead of sacrificing only materials and animals, they sacrifice materials, animals, and people.

Isilites pursue knowledge, collecting and preserving lore of the world in sacred sanctuaries as offerings to their god, when the world is remade by their hand.

Sakrelism
Sakrelism is a faith founded around the worship of the great Creator (Sakrelith) and the 4 prophets who are his incarnations in this world.

Theology
In the beginning there was nothing, darkness enveloped all and it reigned supreme. Sakrelith (uncreated one) saw this and a sadness fell down upon him and he declared "I have seen the darkness and I banish it! May the light spread forth" in a voice that echoed throughout all of existence. He lit the sun and the stars and created a world that was perfect, a land of eternal day where there was no suffering or sadness and food was plentiful.

But the world was empty and without any true life. Sakrelith gathered water and earth together and created the first animals, Sakrelith breathed life into them and said "Spread forth and populate this world, for I see that you are good". This life spread, but it was nothing truly sentient. The creatures were naught but automatons. The Creator was not satisfied with this and instead build a creature to be the steward of all others, to be his children and heirs.

So he breathed life into this creature and then gave him a divine spark of free will and sentience. and He said "Rise my child and look upon creation. For this I have created for you to partake in and enjoy"

As humanity spread and there became more and more of them more and more of them were seduced by the darkness that had grown angry and resentful over the light. The corruption spread across creation until darkness was within each and every human. They then said to him

"Go! For we do not wish to have you in our presence o Creator!" And Sakrelith responded: "I shall do as you say, for darkness has infested you and I am unable to remain here without causing you all great suffering. But one day I promise to return, to enlighten and to show you the true path to prepare you for the end of days when the world shall return to the light that is paradise". The Creator left after this and wept for his creation. He made one final promise however. "As you have accepted darkness within you and made it a part of you, light still exists within you and illuminates you. During the day I shall reign supreme and you will walk the earth, but during night darkness shall reign but you shall rest just as I do during the night".

Humanity fell into even more corruption upon corruption, eventually forgetting the Creator and all that he had created all. The Creator saw this and in his eternal mercy he promised to send 4 teachers in his name who would enlighten man and show them the path for salvation.

Sakrelic faithful believe that those 4 teachers had come in the form of the 4 prophets that are also incarnations of the creator. The 4 prophets did not all come at once, instead after one had died people anticipated the next prophet and their teachings.

During the first council of Azethvir (convened due to disputes about the nature of the prophets) the exact nature of the prophets was decided upon and properly formulated so that it may become dogma. The council formulated that the Creator split himself up, one piece at a time so that those pieces became both divine and mortal to allow them to walk among us.

Their consciousness was still the consciousness of the Creator but they were also separate in a mysterious way. After their death they yet again became one with the creator only for him to split himself up again for the next incarnation.

Temion, Fasherak (The Judge): The all wise prophet who taught man how to judge others fairly, how to keep a society civil and how to rule well. It is believed that he founded the kingdom of Sironia. He taught much on how we should approach the sovereign king of creation and all that is beyond it.

Inirion, Teranalak (The Smith): He taught man how to forge, create and invent and to build. Miners, craftsmen, artisans and even artists often venerate him greatly.

Asala, Saixhreak (The Mother): Asala taught man how to farm, grow crops and domesticate animals. She also taught man about medicine so that we may care for the sick. She taught much about the mercy of the Creator

Ataron, the Soul carrier: He taught man much about how to purify themselves, how we must approach the creator and how to gain salvation. It is said that after his death he became the one who transported the souls of the dead and picked out those who could be purified even in the afterlife for such is the mercy of the Creator.

The Faithful believe that darkness is simply the absence of light. Humans were created as being of light, but darkness was adopted. However in these terms it means that darkness is simply the lack of existence and therefore sin makes one less and less human as darkness itself is nonexistent.

Which is why humanity needs purification. If the Creator was in the presence of impure humans his presence would be like fire as his majesty and holiness would burn away darkness and evil. His presence is so powerful that all would feel eternal guilt and psychological torment unless they have been purified by him. That is why purification is important, for he wishes to be close to us but cannot as that would cause suffering.

Hell and Heaven are the same thing, the Creator's presence but experienced in different ways.

Organization
The faith is organized on a national level. Each nation that adopts the faith gets a prophet-descendant who rules over all matters of faith in the nation. Under the Prophet-descendant you have several Clerics. Each Cleric rules over an Eglisar. A certain geographic area is given to each cleric to rule over. The Clerics then appoint Priests who can serve in an Eglisar instead of the Cleric if the Cleric is unavailable for some reason.

Each Prophet-descendant along with a Cleric (or several, or none depending on what they chose) journey to the Holy Peninsula for great council from time to time to decide matters of the faith that are of importance. The issues are debated on then voted on until a majority agrees or disagrees.

Snoutiality

Soleannen is heavily focused around it’s core guiding principles The Golden Postulates which are well enforced by the Faith and are the principles all Ehrveni (Followers of Soleannen) follow.

1. To worship gods not supported by The Church is blasphemous, for Solaris, The All-Father, and his Cohort, reign above all else. Saints and ancestors alike shall be revered, for they are also a part of his Cohort.

2. To kill another is to deny Solaris's gift of life, and so shall be considered not only a sin, but also a highest blasphemy.

3. To steal from another and to lie to another is to improperly use Solaris's gift of life, and so shall be considered a sin.

4. To muddle or degrade one's mind, be it enmity, excessive drinking or harlotry, is to sway from the All-Father's path, and so shall be considered a sin.

5. To treat another is akin to treating yourself, treat others with respect unless they have lost this right.

The Followers of The Holy Stick-God shall remain kind and compassionate to other followers and grant a helping hand if needed. Cults and bandits must be exterminated and when the God show a sign of a crusade against a holy city or a crusade against a heretical state that crusade must be fulfilled.

Theory of Whispers
The Theory of Whispers (or murmurism) is a religion and philosophy that believes that all gods exist and are essential for the survival of the world. It's goal is to unite all religion into one, and it came to life in Paloro, due to it's high diversity of cultures. For murmurists, the whispers are entities that bind our world with the divine plane, allowing us to pray and present our faith to all deities in the world simultaneously. For this reason, it is possible to be faithful to your own religion while believing in the Theory of Whispers at the same time.

Murmurism was registered and descripted in a 5 volume book series, written by the scribe Arthur Agni, that are essential for the comprehension of all theology.

Tossanism
Tossanism is a polytheistic religion that originated on the continent of Syltör, holding a vast presence within the region.

Tree and Tide
The Tree and Tide (Wigranti) is a polytheistic faith of Pahonja. It venerates the Lord of Trees, Pahonjau and the Lord of Tides, Samedrajan. The Two Spirits have been cast away from the world and the belief's ultimate goal is to call the Spirits back to the world, transcend and become one with the Spirits.

Twin Dragon
Twin Dragon is the official religion and the main philosophical structure of the Aurlûnor Velande and also an official religion in Ryzan.

The religion's main deities are the titular Twin Dragons, known as Sen and Lyn; other deities include various celestial rulers and sages. The main philosophical content of the religion is one of universal harmony and balance. Twin Dragon sees the world as containing balanced aspects of light and dark, good and evil, and so on; it is considered necessary to maintain balance, lest chaos reign. This of course has led to particularly strenuous relations with Entropy and her followers.

A strict temple hierarchy exists, based around ones awareness of aspects of the universe, such as principle, harmony, and discord, and one's ability to combine these aspects to gain enlightenment. Few truly enlightened practitioners exist, though ones that do become enlightened may become priests. Currently, the highest in the hierarchy is the Velereth Sareariel Lelya-Earcala, the head of state and leader of the faith. As such, she is revered by many as a living goddess by most followers of the religion.

Uniters of the Old Gods
Uniters of the Old Gods are led by Brother Graykey, and believe that the 3 Old Gods Tarrak, Saelum, and Aquom are fighting with each other. There are other gods as well who are not in a conflict in the pantheon. To unite the old gods, a new temple must be built on an island, and incorporate water, land, and air.

The Reign of Rez
In Zash mythology, there was a story about the 5 titans, Tatepa, Meklua, Kulizin, Zokotol, and Rez. Rez was unique, as he was the leader of the 5. However, the gods decided that he was unworthy and overthrow him. The Rebelling Gods fought Rez in The Battle of The Crimson Valley. Rez was supposedly banished to the mortal world inside the body of a mortal, doomed to repeat the cycle of tyranny and banishment to a lower plane of existence. Zokotol was also banished, however he would only resume existing after Rez was long dead, to ensure they can never team up again.
