The Alqawaeid Faith

=== Info ===
The Alqawaeid Faith is a collection of different gods that Alqawaeid believers worship. Being a polytheistic religion, there are several different "sub religions" under it that worship one or more of the Alqawaeid gods. The Alqawaeid faith is currently practiced only in the Republic of New Phoenia. 
== Gods ==
There are several gods in the Alqawaei Pantheon. Each of these gods are a physical manifestation of the land they control. The sun, moon, sands, ocean, forests, and skies are all examples of things the gods rule over and have control of. Most of these gods are under Solar and Luna, the sun and moon goddesses. These are the original two gods the Celestial Mother (Celestiane) created to rule over the universe. Several gods in other religions are considered by Alqawaeid believers to be misinterpreted versions of Alqawaei gods, such as Solon in the solonist faith.
=== Solar ===
Solar is the goddess of the sun, and one of the 2 main gods. She is the reason why deserts, badlands, mesas, lava, and many other hot environments exist. During the Great Celestial War, her heat scorched the earth and created these. The sun, being essential to many important factors of life, makes Solar and her many interpretations one of the most widespread Alqawaei gods worshiped. Her main friendly rival is Luna, goddess of the moon, who she has a friendly competition with over the world that keeps the balance of day and night. Solar believes all people under her light, regardless of any factor, deserve prosperity and greatness.
=== Luna ===
Luna is the goddess of the moon, and the other main god in the Alqawaeid religion. She is the reason taiga forests, tundras, rivers, and many other cold and wet environments exist. During the Great Celestial War, she and her brother, Eclipse, fought Solar to stop her tyranny, succeeding in the end. The impact Luna and Eclipse left on the environment was also huge however, freezing over many parts of the world and creating new water sources. Luna and Eclipse are both simultaneously the moon god by technicality, however Eclipse has been banished from the gods for his twisted beliefs. This makes Luna the most widely recognized and worshipped moon goddess in the Alqawaeid faith. The Lunar cycle of the moon represents Luna and Eclipse battling for power over it, the light part being Luna and the dark part being Eclipse. Luna believes all people have the capability to be good, regardless of any factor, but prosperity is merited through hard work and is not a birthright. Luna is also well known by many for possessing a large amount of fat stored on her femurs, a trait many find attractive.
