Aquadis

== The Aquadis Faith ==
The central belief of the Aquadis Faith is the recognition of Aqualith as the divine Source of Rain and the embodiment of benevolence, wisdom, and unity. Followers of Aquadis believe in the interconnectedness of all life with water, viewing it as a sacred gift that sustains existence. The faith emphasizes devotion to Aqualith, reverence for water's role in creation, and the imperative to uphold the principles of unity, stewardship, and compassion in alignment with the teachings of the prophets. 
=== The Visionary's Message ===
The Faith started in a time when the land was parched and life's spark struggled against the grip of drought, and it was time that the people of the world realized the need for a guiding light, the message of Aqualith. Due to the need for guidance, the very first messenger of Aqualith, Prophetess Isalda emerged as a beacon of hope for her people. She was divinely born in a village among side of the seas. Her connection to water was evident since a young age, and she grew with a love for the water. Suddenly, while she was sitting by The Village Well, she saw a vision. The Vision was one like no other. She saw a river flowing through her village, its waters carrying life and abundance in their wake. At the river's center stood a figure of radiant light, and as the vision unfolded, she recognized it as Aqualith—the Source of Rain itself. Aqualith's voice, gentle as a raindrop, spoke to her heart, revealing the interconnectedness of all life through water. 
=== The Rainbearer's Revelation ===
In the Annals of the faith's messenger's period, the final messenger of Aqualith, Amin emerged to the world. Prophet Amin had always had a connection with the nature and the rain. He was drawn to the sight and sound of rain as if it were the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Villagers spoke of his ability to predict rainstorms, often remarking that Amin could sense the rain's arrival hours before it touched the earth. One fateful day, while seeking shelter from a sudden storm in a tranquil grove, Amin experienced a profound revelation. A radiant figure, whose presence emanated serenity and grace, appeared before him. It was an angel, bearing a message directly from Aqualith—the Source of Rain. Prophet Amin was handed an Almighty Revelation in the form of a Book of Aqualith's Message: The Almighty Aquascript. With the final message of Aqualith, the world was given a permanent source of Aqualith's mercy, love, and power.
