Obcidism

== Obcidism ==
Obcidism is a religion based around a monotheistic worship of a spirit death called "Obcidious." The main goal of this religion is to sacrifice souls to the spirit though the reason's is unknown. it originated in the old world of Rathnir. Within the lore the spirt of Obcidious is a all powerful force able to manipulate the souls of people and grant immortality. Though the spirit Obcidious is only one of death he is also in a way the spirit of rebirth. as stated in the quote above
== History ==
=== First founding ===
The early history of Obcidism is shrouded in mystery, very few things are known about this time. It lead to the end of the state of Northrosa part of Raykara via the death of all of its residents. Most records of the state was destroyed in the event and it's is barely mentioned in any sources except that it was once part of Bardonia before. The only thing that is known about this event is that the speaker of this time caused the destruction of this area. 
=== Second founding ===
Many years later, the man that would become the speaker of Obcidious Danial Slayer, would find some records of this religion when he went to Northrose. He would then begin to investigate the religion and try to find out more about it. Eventually the end of the world would come and even though he was an Escharian he did not achieve the form of heaven that all niedene could go to and instead was left to fend for himself. He went back to his fort to wait for the end. He could see the comet from where he was as he thought about what it would feel like when he died, he was then approached by Obcidious. 
The spirit then gave him a deal, he would save Danial if he would worship him. Danial thought about it and agreed to the deal. Then Obcidous killed him. However then his spirit was then teleported to the new world of Abexilas, and he was revived. Danial looked around where he was sent to. A snowy cliff overlooking the sea surrounded by mountains. he felt strange though. When he looked at himself he realized that his eyes had changed, they went from a dark brown to a deep crimson red. His teleportation was not without relavations. Obcidious told him that he was now immortal because of what he had done. He realized that Obcidious could save people by granting them immortality. He then converted to the religion and would help the spirit to grow in power.

== Hierarchy ==
==== Speaker of Obcidious ====
This person is the head of faith for the religion and will lead it. They wield absolute power and are the judge of the faith along with the head priests. They will also lead events and tournaments and only they can change lore (only with permission from Danial Slayer). They have unlimited term limits however if they wish to leave they must hold an election for a new one. All members who are Morticians or above can run. However Morticians must get at least 10 people to vote for them to run. Anyone above the rank of Morticians that is devoted can run for speaker. Once the runners have applied the speaker will pick a member from those running and make them the new speaker. The speaker is also the High Priest for the originating country. The speaker will manage their own small merk group of guards that will protect them. This group will be made up of veterans who will be paid by the speaker for each event they go to in religious items. This group will be made up of Morticians that also lead their own groups. Only people who are very devoted will be a part of this group.
After the speaker the hierarchy splits into two branches. One side is the religious members and the other is the military members. There are some things that are interesting with High Priests being more powerful than Managers, and Priests above Morticians. But Priests are lower than Managers in rank.
=== Religious side ===
==== High Priest ====
These guys run most of the bigger religious events. They are the people who will help with any events that are for country size level and can help others to run. Each country that worship obcidious will get a single High Priest and some will get more depending on population. They will appoint priests to their positions and will be the people who help to run most of the stuff.
==== Priests ====
These are the people who help to spread the religion and can lead town or city sized events. They will try to spread the religion to targeted towns or cities that have expressed interest and will help to convert all of its citizens to the religion. They also help people learn more about this religion. All religious members can also lead groups of men if they want.
=== Militant Side ===
==== Managers ====
These guys are people who will help with organizing and accepting contracts for Morticians to do. They will help with making groups and are encouraged to pay for Mortician’s groups so they can grow and make the Managers more money because the managers will get a cut of the money made from each contract completed. They are the ones who help make the contracts between the militants and the client. All members involved will have to agree on how much money is spent to the militants.
==== Morticians ====
These people are leaders of groups of militants and also have the job of spreading the religion to other people. The size of the group can be any size. (the larger groups need more morticians decided by the leader of the groups). Each group has a lot of independence from each other. They can name the groups whatever they want (as long as it’s not inappropriate or disrespectful to the religion). Each group can have its own rituals for worship. To become one a person will have a ritual with a priest and be given the title. Each priest may have a different way to rebirth them. Each Mortician is encouraged to split up larger groups or merge smaller ones often.
==== Gravers ====
These are the regular foot soldiers of the militant and are a part of a small group made up of them and Morticians. They are people who decide to join the religion and become a member of the militant group. Each member is allowed to join any militant group that they want, and are encouraged to join other groups to try them out.
