Stovism

== Stovism ==
The Church Of Stove follows the religion known as Stovism. Stovism is a polytheistic religion that was rediscovered in Heimstadt. Stovism consists of 1 main god and 6 additional gods. The 6 sub-gods balance each other out to provide the world with a constant force of change and acceptance. After death it is believed that people are sent to the heavens and their fate will be determined by the life they led while alive. Depending on choices and gods they worshipped the soul could have multiple gods pining for it. While only worshipping 7 gods, Stovism is open to the idea of there being other gods as Stove has said it should be.
