Lockism

lockism is a monotheistic religion in cyprian. the faith's main deity is cincinno, an deity of locks,chains, protection and creation, due to the unique circustances surrounding the faith, it currently remains small
=== history ===
lockism was founded when it's founder, yusquelle, appeared on a encampment at Dacade Trollgard know as dragonspiro, she sat alone for a whole night before in the morning, meeting ik1ga1, the regent to the town of inades, she rambled for a bit about how she had been made and sent by cincinno after being entrapted alongside her in the void and the need to write her words, ik1ga1 responded by leading her to inades, where she was interviewed by a player named pandamaster about her stay at inades, which after the questioning she was quickly accepted and given a home.
spending her days as a recluse writing the holy book, yusquelle was surprised when one day, an offer by BB, the former mayor of inades and king of cyprian came, offering free cityzenship and later an whole abandoned church free of charge, she accepted as soon as she finished the first chapter of the locknarium
=== main beliefs and pratices ===
lockism's beliefs lie in the belief that cincinno is a deity able to whisper into the ears of any being around the world of rathnir from her prison of chains, influencing their actions in everyday life as she tries guiding certain choosen towards a better life, with her commandments being a way to do exactly that, preaching peace, hatred towards unjust and unnecessary violence, the sanctity of building and crafting and more
=== creation ===
it is believed that cincinno was a powerful human at the beggining of the world, locked away by forces now long forgotten into the void, she cried for 9 days, her tears a river in the void, screamed and begged for 5 weeks, creating some mountains above, and then dreamed and thought for the rest of her eternal sentence, finding out she could astrally project out to the world above after 9 centuries, and influence beings after 5 years, she first influenced an emperor of an kingdom for peace, but her voice was too loud and disorganized, leading the man to madness as he ran away to the woods, she then tried influencing an dying old man, but her voice was too quiet now, and he died before hearing of her
she tried and tried perfecting her voice, her attempts and whispers unknowingly inspiring thousands to get together, start wars, found nations, and more as she went around the world
after a couple of centuries, she decided that it was time for her voice to be heard, she scrapped dust and rust off her chains using her fingernails, then scooped up parts of the void, then took some aspects of herself, she fused the three together, creating the player yusquelle , destined to come into the void time and time again to hear and scribe cincinno's words, she was send into the world for the first time after she was dictated the first chapter of the locknarium, kickstarting lockism as we now know it
