Sinastea

Sinastea is a continental world in the Sinastea star system. While its architecture is reminiscent to that of Mesoamerican, Mesopotamian, Greco-Roman and Egyptian architectures, it has a number of massive stone carvings humanoid statues of titans (or gigafauna) as well as a few number of cities serving as a titan's safe haven.
==Society and culture==
The Sinasteans were disparate human civilizations spread throughout much of the world itself. While divided into a number of cultures, they do use a mixture of Mesoamerican, Mesopotamian, Greco-Roman and Egyptian architectures and hold spiritual views towards the titans, gigafauna or kaiju that are impossibly powerful. Religions toward the titans fall under the pagan category, and these religions were part of the Sinastean pagan faith system, divided into the Unreformed Sinastean faith and the Reformed Sinastean faith.
Sinastean civilizations vary depending, ranging from tribal to colonial to civilized. There exist a large number of tribes sparsely spread out the world, with a small number of city-states and nation-states.
===Religion===
The Sinastean faith systems were divided into the unreformed Sinastean faith system and the Reformed Sinastean faith system. Despite the differences between the unreformed and reformed Sinastean faiths, the most important tenet of both faith systems is worshipping the titans, sapient kaijus or gigafauna who were treated with reverence from the Sinastean peoples themselves and were seen as gods themselves.
The unreformed Sinastean faith have shamans, prophets and priests who practiced oral legends, which were passed down the next generations of priests, prophets and shamans. Each tribe, nation-state or city-state has its own number of priests, prophets or shamans, and those positions can be attained only by religious male Sinasteans. The unreformed Sinastean faith also retained a number of stone tablets, where there was written the commandments, ethics and tenets of the unreformed Sinastean faith. There also exists cave paintings featuring the titans and the peoples, the events around them, and daily life.
The unreformed Sinastean faith, however, would only permit aspiring foreigners from beyond Sinastea to join their societies if they cut off all ties with people they connected and undergo a ritual which would cleanse them of all their sins and their past lives. Cave paintings maintained by the unreformed Sinastean believers will also be eroded or destroyed due to natural or manmade calamities. The tenets can be misinterpreted as supporting horrific sacrifices. Finally, the oral legends will be twisted by those who sought to cause numerous heresies and troubles. Even worse is how slow conversion really is.
The unreformed Sinastean faith, after being almost wiped out by a number of similar, older or younger, more aggressive competitors, was fully adapted and reformed by its new practitioners in order to contend with said competitors, among them being the Cult of the Loop, reformed Abrahamic faiths, and various religions pertaining to the defector-gods. Unlike its unreformed cousin, the Reformed Sinastean faith now has a proper holy book and a collection of scrolls with chapters on a creation myth, the gods, a number of eschatological events (related to natural or manmade disasters and conflicts between feuding titans), prophecies, outlined church doctrines, and spells and secrets. It has also acquired a standardized liturgy and a formal church hierarchy led by a group of dedicated hierophants, priests, prophets and shamans.
Also unlike its reformed cousin, the Reformed Sinastean faith had permitted aspiring foreigners from beyond Sinastea to join their societies so long as they do not cause any more trouble. The unreformed Sinastean faith's oral legends (long known to be susceptible to corruption and heresies) and stone tablets have been transferred into said holy book and collection of scrolls, which can be produced swiftly. Cave paintings were also transferred into murals and frescoes, and modern, standardized versions were made to ensure that the Sinastean faith may stand strong. Finally, the church doctrines and tenets were outlined so that there won't be any excuses for other aggressive religions to see the newly-reformed and -adapted pagan faith as something worth demonizing.
