Hyacinthan Faith

The Hyacinthan Faith (Sometimes referred to as "Hemopathic Cosmology" by people unaware of its beliefs) is an esoteric religious system highly tied to extraterrestrial life. The primary basis of the religion is aiding a universal god known as Rakhou-cosm via bloodletting.
According to the Hyacinthan Mythology, prior to the existance was the "Primordial Void", a nonexistance where matter and minds would continually be formed and destroyed. At somepoint an all-powerful being created the "First Cradle", a first universe that sheltered life from the Primordial Void. This universe existed for billions of years until a entity from the Primordial Void destroyed this universe.
A group of extraterrestrial beings survived this, and escaped into a new "Second Cradle" created by the all-powerful being, The survivors grouped together in this new world, vowing to prevent it from being destroyed aswell. These individuals ascended to godhood to accomplish this task, and became the Holy Seven (Seraphocosm)
The Seraphocosm were active in the early universe, spreading religious beliefs intended to raise support for themselves while they fought against many extragalactic entities which posed a threat. In order to maintain their divine states they required regular bloodletting rituals, on order to maintain their divine forms. Their influence has gradually decreased over time, with decreasing follower numbers doing the rituals. Due to this members of the Seraphocosm slowly died off, with the latest death being the Holy Sixth ("Yarouh-cosm") in the year 301
The only member of the seven to survive to this day is the Holy Fourth (Rakhou-cosm). Rakhou-cosm protects against the extrauniversal entities (Daemocosm) that are trying to infiltrade the universe as a means of escaping the Primordial Void, a process which will destabilize reality if not prevented.
==Organizations==
There are many organizations following the Hyacinthan Faith, such as The Stargazer's Church, a major occult organization in Catania. Beyond them the Hyacinthan Faith has a interstellar and Intergalactic presence, as it originally emerged among extraterrestrial civilizations. Numerous Hyacinthan civilisations are known to exist, with the full extent of their followers not yet discovered by Humans. Among these is the Terzan-2 Coalition, which is an extraplanetary civilisation existing within Globular Cluster Terzan 2, and is at war with a unknown civilisation known as the "Empire of the Twelve Suns". Another civilisation known as the Kaieuhth-Urhn Empire at somepoint entered the solar system, but they are most likely extinct now.
==Human Belief==
Human Belief of the Hyacinthan Faith has existed since ~11000 BCE, sometime around this time the Hyacinthan Kingdom of Earth existed, a society existing in what is now Southern Sizzle. Modern branches of they faith ofcourse are different, with moral changes between the groups. A large part of the believers are members of The Stargazer's Church. There are members beyond the church, who may have different moral values. 
==Extraterrestrial Belief==
It is known that the Hyacinthan Faith is believed outside of the solar system, and even outside the local group of systems. They exist across the galaxy, with possibly billions if not trillions of followers among the stars. 
The faith exists on interstellar scales in the form of various loosely connected sects. Humanity has not had much success in researching these sects. Discovering sects of the faith, in select cases where it is not just broadcasting powerful subspace signals and hoping someone responds is a matter of chance. discovered sects may be radically different from human cultures to a point that understanding them is impossible. humanity's limited ability to traverse across the entire galaxy yet also contributes to this. 
Despite the difficulties, the Extrasolar Activities Division of the SDS Foundation has made some findings. Of all recorded extraterrestrial civilisations approximately 8% believe in the Hyacinthan Faith, with these civilisations ranging in technological capabilities from near-human levels to surpassing anything humanity has ever seen. As expected, these groups often use different methods for their rituals than the human based Stargazers, typically via violent methods to aid Rakhou-cosm with obtaining blood. 
Little information exists on the faith outside of the Milky Way galaxy. If they do exist, then they most likely exist on massive scales but as of now visiting them is completely impossible. 
Aside from small groups of extra-terrestrials that have arrived on earth in one-way trips, no extrasolar civilisations are active in the solar system, attributed to a lack of resources and features compared to other stellar regions. The only Hyacinthan civilisation to ever visit Yata is the Kaieuhth-Urhn Empire, which is extinct.
