ICLL - International Church of Lux and Lintu

== Humble Beginings ==
The International Church of Lux is a new faith to the world of both Rathnir and Eldham.
It was started my Bishop Golden Tigris Apollo O'Cath in his bid and mission to further help the Luxite faith to become more accepted and popular to both of the world of Stoneworks. But how Golden came in touch with the essentials of this faith is quite interesting. The story goes like this:
As Golden desends deep within the depths of Eldham, with his friend from Asoland, Spiralknighter, He enconter a spiritual entity that speaks into his ear leading the men to more than one deposits of Iron, the mine for some more hours until they ecounter more. But as Golden listens more to this voice, he enters into a trance, while he contines to shriek and scream loudly.
The Bishop reports of this encounter in His book "What my eyes have seen". He notes: In the depths of Eldham, I seen a man standing sorrounded my a thick dark cloud of darkness. He has a woman standing next to him who was also shrouded in darkness. He spoke these words to me: "Oh priest ascend these hills, follow the way of the Gods of both the heavens and the depths, that we may show thee great and mighty things which knowest thou not"
After finding staches of Iron and parting ways with spiral, the Bishop ascends the mountain of Volnygrad to pray though all that He has seen, during 100 days of fasting and prayer in the Tower of Tigris, In the top floor of the tower to be presise He seen another vison: Where he seen a man and a woman shrouded in white surrounded in a Golden mists, infront of him both events led him to feel a mix of awe and dread.
By the leading of both of these powers, he built and established Churches all over Eldham and Rathnir, making Volnygrad the headquaters of both the Worrship of Lux and Tenebris in the churches history. 
== Beliefs ==
The ICLL believe that both Lux and Tenebris are opposing on another.
Lux is the Goodess of Creation and Nature, she is also the one who holds the sacred flame. Her Flame is a flame that is the lifeblood of humanity as well as all things that exsist.
Tenebris is the God of the deep darkness, protector of the underworld, and the Lord of the Depths. He sees all things whilst hiding in the darkness. Tenebris is also the God who seems cold and distant but he is the leader of those who have passed away into their eternal rest in his realm of the void.
We still belive that they have three children who are in essence the angels and demons that can be found in all their courts of worship.
For Lux and Lintu:
Wajdu: The Lord of order and knowledge. As those of you who do not know the main charcter and pillar of Lux is to provide warmth, and illumination to all who dwell on the face of the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham. Wajdu, is gifted by Lux to bring this same light of illumination to the minds of Luxites, and it is by the grace of Lux, that Wajdu has brought knowledge to all. And this knowlege has helped Luxites and other players establish nations, towns, shops and even write books.
Paridu: The Lady of the household and hearth. Paridu is the one who in essece is the exention of the warth of Lux, with the Grace of Lux torches are lit. Furnaces are kindeled. Even the lava illuminates the caves of the underground.
Parabu: The lady of life and prosperity. This to me is the most famous one, She is to be respected by all it is besuse of the blessing of Lux upon her, that we may exerience luck and prosperity in all our endeavours. One of the most sacred things that represent her is any luck potion, specifically a bottle of Good Lux Charm, which in your possesion you will not only experience luck in the area of fishing but also in every area of your in game life. 
For Tenebris: 
Cutu: The lord of wind and solace. This entity is the source of all tempest, the one who stirs the winds of the land, the one who is between the void and the heavens, the invisible one, the one who rends the Heavens with Thunder and Lightning. it is he who when he strikes the ground, every strike summons legions of undead horsemen who take thie anger on anything that bears a resemblence to mortals. This demon is the rain maker, when rain falls from the heaves the luck from Parabu increases, but also do the judgements of Cutu. wierd signs are found in the water from zombies to flying fish. flames and floating blocks can also be seen in the heavens, often times coming towards or even flying past the player. 
Kedje: The lady of chaos and ignorance. She is the one who is respensible for the disorder in the world, the manifold misfortunes that an ordinary player would dare to experience in their journey trough these worlds, from the occasional event of falling down a hole, to getting lost on your voyage. She is repensible for all misfortunes such as these. 
Pburadi: The Lord of death and warfare. Think of him as the grim reaper who looms over the players life just when they are about to die. He usually camps around the wars that are fought by many, to snatch thier souls from thier bodies when they are on the verge of death. He hands these souls to Tenebris who then leads them to rest in the underworld. This is why Tenebris has him as his favorite, as both of them co orporate with one another.
== Rituals ==
The main ritual that is expectect to be preformed by both the clergy and cultists alike are two sacrifices and one initiation ritual.
The main sacrifices represent two sacred flames: 
One for Lux which is on the surface, this flame is an orange and white flame, whuch represents her warmth, passion and love for her creation and humanity
Another is the flame of Tenebris, the Blue and White flame. Found in the uderground shrine of Tenebris within the depths of Eldham. Another Holy site to Tenebris is the Graveyard on the Church ground of Volnygrad. The Flame repesents the coldness and the harshness of Tenebris.
== Holy Books ==
The main holy books that we advice parishoners to have is:
The Codex of Lux, written by lapistar. On the main beliefs of the Luxite faith, and the core princples and precepts of the Traditional branch of the Luxite faith.
Golden's Hymnal, written by Bishop Golden himself. Detailing the Victories and the shortcomings of the Bishop on both Rathnir and Eldham and the Philosophy of the Chrurch itself. The jouney to writing and distribution of sacred Luxite texts will never end but they will continue to live on, infact the desire to continue this this aspect of Luxite worship is upheld by the local clergy of the Church of Lux in Tortuga, Yuvaria, and Ashai.
