== Overview ==
The Children of The Supernovae is a religious group dedicated to the worship of the 5 gods and goddesses known as The Supernovae. The Supernovae are responsible for the deaths of stars throughout the cosmos, this means they are the reason heavier elements were created in the early universe. The creation of those elements later led to the creation of the entire world. Due to this the followers of The Supernovae are grateful to them and that’s why they worship them.
== Mythos ==
A long, long time ago, in a young universe at the end of the dark ages hydrogen atoms along with a few others came together and were able to create stars. Stars produce massive amounts of light and energy due to nuclear fusion at their core and have a delicate balance between the nuclear fusion and gravity. The gravity wants to collapse the star under its own weight while the nuclear fusion wants to keep the star from collapsing. In this time the stars were able to maintain stability forever. The Supernovae had been watching the universe since the big bang and had a revelation. Stars could be used to create heavier materials without too much divine intervention. All they had to do was make the stars mortal. So to do this they made the stars use a complex process where they use up hydrogen as fuel and once that fuel runs out, the elements formed at the center of the star become heavier and heavier until it reaches iron and the star collapses. In sun-like stars it simply uses helium and swells until eventually everything but the core turns into a nebula. This stuff eventually lets gravity win and causes the collapse of the star, creating heavier elements that later formed everything else. The Supernovae are constantly working to keep this process going and remain strong with our worshipping.
== Values/ Tenants ==
The Children of The Supernovae take after their gods and goddesses when it comes to some core values. These values are as follows.
* Everything is entitled to evolve and grow in a positive way.
* Free will is a basic necessity
* Nothing should be bound by anything but itself
* Nothing should be purposefully made negative
* Life is a gift we should cherish
tl;dr is don't be an A-hole.
== The Supernovae ==
The following is a list of all 5 of The Supernovae and their jobs.
Ampharthisca-A goddess responsible for the depletion of hydrogen in the star and the forming a helium in sun-like stars for when they die.
Arthiemus-A god responsible for the gravity which collapses the star.
Noranecthius-A goddess responsible for the creation of heavier elements within a dying star.
Farothineun-A god responsible for the creation of a neutron star/black hole after a supernova occurs and also the forming of a white dwarf from stars like the sun.
Huranicathi-The leader of The Supernovae, a goddess responsible for the distribution of the elements created by a supernova and the nebulae formed from the death of a sun-like star.
== Methods of Worship ==
There are two forms of worshipping. Ritual worshipping and Support worshipping. Ritual worshipping is when you worship by performing the rituals required to give strength to The Supernovae. Support worshipping is when you worship because you want to simply give support, but you cannot continuously perform the rituals.
Here is a list of the rituals required to give strength to The Supernovae. They can be performed whenever but true ritual worship requires them to be done on a monthly basis.
Ampharthisca-To worship this goddess you must drink one bottle of water every day in her name. This is because the main thing she deals with, hydrogen, is often found in water. So basically, stay hydrated.
Arthiemus-To worship this god you must make at least 64 items affected by gravity fall at least 10 blocks in his name. This is because he specializes in making gravity work in stars.
Noranecthius-To worship this goddess you must make at least 1 iron block every month in her name due to the fact she specializes in the creation of heavier elements which end with iron so it reminds her when she has done her job.
Farothineun-The only way to worship this god is to witness the aftermath of a destructive event once in your life. This is because he creates the aftermath of a supernova.
Huranicathi-Due to the fact that she is responsible for distributing elements and nebulae, this goddess is worshipped by simply giving something of value away for free to a different stranger every month in her name.
In order to be a supportive worshipper there is a wide variety of things you can do, ranging from attending a church meeting every now and then to just reading about them and being, well, supportive of them.
== Summary ==
Overall The Children of The Supernovae are a rather relaxed religion and even if you are a truly dedicated follower you don’t have to do much. The upside is that you are also free to join other religions whilst being a member of The Children of The Supernovae.
