Novayan Imperial Cult

The Novayan Imperial Cult (or Novayan imperial cult), sometimes known as the Imperial Cult, was one of several faiths that made up the Novayan faith in Novaya Imperialis, as well as the religious institution dedicated to the cult of emperors. Created in 44 BIS, the Novayan imperial cult in its initial, unreformed state had grown considerably before it was replaced by the infamous Novayanas Aagiokrata, known otherwise for its outright support and stance towards magical superiority. Though reduced to mere numbers, and with only few emperors - with the exception of those who were appointed co-emperors - ruled the nation before they were either forced out or assassinated, it wasn't until the first Novayan empress after the civil war of 987-1007 IS, Constantina I, reestablished the Imperial Cult and, in what was the most astoundingly unexpected move, reformed the imperial faith to its present state.
The Imperial Cult is similar to the reformed Novayan faith, otherwise known as the Novayanas Aagiokratia. But the major difference is the varied divine ancestry held by past Novayan emperors, who claimed to have descended from either single or several gods; only some were confirmed to have been of divine ancestry. The Novayan Imperial Cult, similar to the Novayanas Aagiokratia, had a number of priesthoods dedicated to each god; that said, the Imperial Cult was also divided into a few pantheons, the major pantheon, the minor pantheon, and the syncretic pantheon. Followers of the Novayan Imperial Cult were known as Novayan Imperials, Novayan-Imperials, or the more mundane Imperial Cultists.
