Adrami Nuciferian

To not be confused with the nation, Nelumbo Nelumdra.
Adrami Nuciferism is a Adrami Religion, professing that a singular Lotus later named Nucifera, emerged during the chaos of the creation of Abexilas by the cosmic forces; later gaining divinity after the arrival of souls from Rathnir and Eldham though The Comet of Iristor greatly disturbed the world of Abexilas in 320 TE, caused by imbalance of nature due to rapid emergence of civilization and it's activity, gaining its first followers in Adramis by manifesting phenomena that made the settlers to began worshiping the Lotus due to it's supernatural nature.
The Sacred Lotus, Nucifera, preached that followers of the faith has to embrace nature and restore it to its original harmony, the renewal and solace for a world fractured by chaos, and invite those displaced to find sanctuary under their wing.
It is currently the regional faith of the city of Anelotópolis, founded by displaced Nuciferians after the collapse of The Holy Kingdom of Nucifera around 43-50 VE, and was the state religion of the The Holy Kingdom of Nucifera.
== Etymology ==
The word "Nuciferism" and "Nucifera" derives from the scientific word "Nelumbo nucifera" or simply, the lotus.
== History ==
The earliest known record of an organized faith around Nucifera started in 1 BVE (Before Voyagers Era), in Gregorian terms, was on 3/28/2024. Founded by player ArchXngel, it was made to be the state religion of the Holy Kingdom of Nucifera of Adramis, however, due to slowly losing interest of the idea, the religion and the nation itself was given to Alex626 (AKA Ferris Sinh Blackmore), around 4 VE, after Alex626 requested to join Nucifera and was offered the entire nation instead. (See The Blackmore Family).
== Adarmis ==
The Subcontient of Adramis is considered the origin point of the Nuciferan Faith, and the holy land of those following the faith and the former Holy Kingdom of Nucifera. Before 44 VE, the Adrami Nuciferians had lived on in the Kingdom of Nucifera, before the kingdom turned into a province of Qynthos-Centuria.
In 33 VE, during a governmental crisis in Qynthos-Centuria, The Lotus Soverigern, Alex626 declared the revival of the Kingdom in order to restore its sovereignty and faith, however the formation of the United States of Adramis in the late 30's through early 40's had Qynthos-Centuria persecute the Nuciferans in order to regain control over the Kingdom's territory, which resulted in the Nuciferans fighting in The Northern Adramis War before self-exiling themselves to Aethos (Present day Soralae) around 42-44 VE in defeat.
=== Holy City of Nelumdra ===
Before the collapse of the Nucifera Kingdom, the Lotus was centered in the city of Nelumdra (Now owned by The United States of Adramis), and was considered the holiest place of the religion as "The Center of The World". However sometime between 10 - 33 VE, during the time when Nucifera was a province of Qynthos-Centuria, the current governor of Nelumdra at the time had burned the Lotus to the ground, all it remains was a seed, considered the "Son of Nucifera", it currently being held in the Anelotópolis Abbey in Soralae.
Due to many problems regarding Qynthos-Centuria and the ownership of Nelumdra after the incident, The Son of Nucifera was never planted into the grounds of Neumdra, due to a prophecy by Lotus before her death foreseeing trouble ahead. 
Today, Nelumdra is currently owned by the Qynthos-Centuria State of The United States of Adarmis, with an old withered tree in the place of The Lotus, the last sign the Lotus grew before the departure of the Adrami Nucifeians.
=== Lotus Sovereign ===
The Title "Lotus Sovereign" originally was the title held by the leader of the Nuciferian Monastery, however during the time the Blackmore Dynasty took over, it's interpretation has been changed to also extend to also be the monarch of the Nucifera Kingdom as the monastery was replaced by the Blackmore Court as the center of power; meaning that The Lotus Sovereign is both the religious leader of the Nuciferan Faith and a noble title.
However in present day, the title is only held in the Holy City of Anelotópolis, Soralae to refer to the current lord, but still retains to be the leader of the Nuciferan Faith as it was carried over by the Blackmore Family after the collapse of the The Holy Kingdom of Nucifera and self-exile to Aethos (Present day Soralae) in 44 VE.
