Neo-Voidmun

Neo-Voidmun is a polytheistic religion inspired by the archaic faith Voidmun, native to the nation Morladron. Neo-Voidmun builds upon the original faith but overall is quite different.
== Cosmology ==
"In the beginning there was no void, only the First World. This period was relatively short lived, for very swiftly a force known as the Primordial Chaos manifested and tore its very fabric apart. Thus it was converted it into The Void as we know it today. However, three fragments known as the Watchers remained of this original world, their names: Correction, Observation, and Suggestion. After the Cataclysm of the First World, the Watchers worked together to create the Second World, one more resistant to The Chaos. 
To achieve this goal they vested the beings of this world with the responsibility of becoming Paragons, idols for the others to follow. When these Paragons work together they form what is known as the Formed Order, a world immune to Primordial Chaos. Each of these beings was associated with a designated watcher as well as an Apex within the Formed Order. One symbolized Strength; the other, Connection; and the final, Happiness. This resistance would constantly be tested by the Outlanders, seeds of The Chaos" - Collected Whispers of the Void Vol. 1
== Watchers ==
All Communion is conducted through large geometric structures known as Void Monoliths, which act as conduits through which followers may communicate with the Watchers. Monoliths may be constructed of three different stones of varying effectiveness: Deepslate, Obsidian, and Bedrock. When a Monolith is the appropriate shape, effectiveness is greatly improved.
==== Correction ====
By far the most direct of the Watchers, Correction keeps the Second World on the right path through physical actions. Such actions include but are not limited to: lightning strikes, typhoons, manifestation of artifacts, plagues, spontaneous construction, spontaneous combustion, and physical omens. Methods of worship typically concern themselves with the Strength Apex and include acts of violence or sport such as sparring, battles, athletic tournaments, hunts, and executions of Outlanders. It is associated with the box.
==== Observation ====
The least direct of the Watchers, Observation updates the other two on the current status of the Second World. Methods of worship typically concern themselves with the Connection Apex and include confessions, organizing one's community, and indirectly helping others. It is associated with the circle or sphere.
==== Suggestion ====
The most balanced of the Watchers, Suggestion influences the world through more indirect actions. Such actions include but are not limited to: visions, dreams, premonitions, hallucinations both auditory and visual, planting ideas in the minds of the people, manipulating emotions, and communicating with important persons. Methods of worship typically concern themselves with the Happiness Apex and include celebrations, festivals, conversions, and directly helping others. It is associated with the pentagon or dodecahedron.
== Formed Order ==
=== Apexes ===
Strength 	The ability to protect
Connection	The ability to organize and rally
Happiness 	Satisfaction with the state of things
=== Outlanders ===
Non-physical entities that attempt to spread the Primordial Chaos to the Second World. Will occasionally slip into the Second World and attempt to possess minds, plant ideas, or proclaim themselves a deity. On the rare chance that their true form attempts to manifest, it will appear as a red-black spider fracture in reality.
==== Paragons ====
Both followers and non-followers may be awarded this title if they have shown themselves to be a shining example of one or more of the Apexes. 
== Afterlife ==
Followers are allowed three choices: Pitch Sea, Shroud or World. Non-followers will be selected for the proper afterlife according to the life they lived. All will be reunited once the Formed Order has been established.
In the Pitch Sea, the dead board Correction's massive fleet of ships that fend off Outlanders and prevent the bulk of them from breaching the Second World. The Shroud is Observation's network of eyes that surveille the Second World, Neo-Voidmun may choose to join it. In the World, one becomes a member of Suggestion's choir of simple joys, concepts, and emotions. Outlanders possess exceptionally horrible people and after their death their soul will reach the appropriate afterlife and the Outlander that controlled them will be banished to The Void once more.
== Tenets ==
Followers of Neo-Voidmun believe that everyone, follower or not, contributes to the Formed Order in their own way. Actions such as senseless murder, unnecessary thievery, and sewing division are forbidden as they work against the Formed Order. The faithful are encouraged to eliminate Outlanders and swiftly as possible, lest they germinate and become a greater problem.
== Customs ==
It is custom for faithful to cultivate alliums, a symbol of Suggestion and Happiness. On the third day of April, August and December Neo-Voidmun hold an Apex Festival to honor a specific Apex. They also construct and use sporting grounds in honor of Correction and Strength. Additionally, they maintain public forums to facilitate Connection.
