Thetōism

Thetōism is a religion centered around the worship of Iristor and his bloodline. The followers of Thetōism worship the continents of our world as gods and believe they have/had a physical and spiritual body. 
=== History ===
==== Pre-Abexilas ====
Iristor "the almighty", created the heavens and the earth. He gave birth to Jagdas "the firstborn". Thetōists believe that gods have two bodies, a physical one and a spiritual one. Jagdas took the physical form of a continent, where a few organisms would form civilizations and empires. Iristor was not impressed by the people that inhabited Jagdas's physical form, so he murdered Jagdas, and out of his body he formed Rathnir "the warrior". Rathnir would develop much quicker than Jagdas, and soon enough, Rathnir's physical form would develop large empires. Iristor saw that Rathnir showed courage and leadership. Iristor rejoiced and seeing as he had succeeded, he created Eldham "the scholar". Eldham had a much more peaceful population than Rathnir, and under the protection of Iristor, they flourished. Iristor would constantly try to create a 3rd child, always unsuccessful, he gave birth to Kylorne "the reject" but just like Jagdas, Kylorne was murdered, and out of Kylorne's body, Tremons "the prophet" was created. Unlike the other sons of Iristor, Tremons's physical form wasn't that of a continent, but of a person. Tremons could create life, however, unlike his father, he wasn't capable of giving his children the gift of immortality. He gave birth to Kanahulu and Akonanda "the mortals". But after 400 years, they perished. Tremons also could foresee the future. When he saw his father's plan to murder Rathnir and Eldham to create the perfect child, Abexilas, Tremons tried to stop Iristor, but he was too weak in comparison to his father, and he was frozen in time for 40 years. Iristor murdered his children, Tremons being the only one that remained, and out of Eldham and Rathnir's corpses, he created Abexilas. Abexilas's physical form housed some of the fleeing Rathnirian and Eldhamite refugees. Tremons was banished to an island created by Iristor in the north-western continent of Abexilas, Tanragh.
==== Origins ====
The religion originated somewhere around 5200 B.V.E. (Before Voyagers Era), when Tremons, son of Iristor, father of Kanahulu and Akonanda, was exiled from the Heavens and was sent to a small island in the world of Abexilas, forced into a physical, human-like body. Iristor made the island and attached it to the sea floor by a giant chain. Many sailors would pass by and stop on the island thinking Tremons was a sailor that had shipwrecked. Tremons would teach sailors the gods' prophecies, and many became his disciples and would stay on the island with him.

==== Gods ====
===== Iristor =====
Iristor was the first god to have ruled over our world, he is known as "the all mighty" and is responsible for the death of Jagas, Kylorne, Rathnir, and Eldham. He is known to be capable of freezing time and is father to all other gods.
===== Jagdas =====
Iristor's firstborn, an imperfect child was murdered shortly after his birth. Their body was used to create Rathnir and Eldham.
===== Rathnir =====
Iristor's first successful creation. Rathnir is described as a very brave and strong god, he was later killed to create Abexilas.
===== Eldham =====
Unlike Rathnir, Eldham was a peaceful god, who liked creating things using magic and witchcraft and would often gift the people in their physical form prophecies in the form of books.
===== Kylorne =====
Like Jagdas, Kylorne was considered a failure and was killed shortly after its birth, their body was used to create Tremons.
===== Tremons =====
Tremons did not have a continent as its physical form, instead, he had a human-like, immortal body. Tremons could see the future and could create children of his own. He is the father of Kanahulu and Akonanda. He tried to stop the killing of Rathnir and Eldham but he was exiled by his father, forever cursed to live on a small island in Abexilas, where he teaches sailors about the ancient Paxian prophecies.
===== Paxia =====
Paxia is an imperfect child of Iristor, Iristor dislikes talking about Paxia, and many prefer to exclude them from the religious texts of Thetōism. Paxia was born with Jagdas, and like a wildfire, Paxia would spread suffering and pain. Like Tremons, Paxia doesn't have a continent as their physical body but instead, a spirit that can possess those with a corrupted heart at will. Paxia likes to communicate with Tremons, as she feels he understands what being rejected by Iristor feels like.
===== Abexilas =====
Abexilas is the youngest child of Iristor, considered the perfect child, it was made out of Rathnir and Eldham's bodies. It is believed that Abexilas's physical body is larger than any other body a god has had. Abexilas is the only remaining continent in this world.
==== Demi-Gods ====
===== Lady Amali =====
Lady Amali, a daughter of Paxia. Unlike her mother, Lady Amali is known as a kind, and loving demi-goddess commonly known as Lady Tellia. She is worshiped by the Tellians. It is said that she killed the three dukes of the world, and mothered the Tellian race into safety, guiding them to the continent of Caerus, where the Tellians would settle down and live many years in peace together. nowadays Lady Amali is nothing more than a folk tale shared by parents to their children as bedtime stories.
===== The Three Dukes =====
The Three Dukes of the World, also known as War, Hunger, and Plague, were evil beings, sons of Paxia, who would wander around the land of Abexilas before its existence was revealed by Iristor. They travel the world spreading suffering. Those who opposed them would be violently murdered, and their bodies would be left to rot. They were beheaded by Lady Amali after they threatened the Tellain race, who she vowed to protect.
===== Kanahulu & Akonanda =====
They were the sons of Tremons. They lived in peace for 400 years, until it was discovered that they had not inherited their father's immortality. It is believed by many that Tremons were able to free their souls from the depths of the underworld and release them into Abexilas, where they roam, protecting those who worship them.
