=== Doctrine ===
==== Theism ====
Alvisism is monotheistic; it worships a Pioneer as a demigod or a divine messiah.
==== Mythology ====
During the period of the Wild West in the expansionism of the United States, there was a woman named Delia who gave birth to Alvis while at an American fort; his birth was deemed to be immaculate conception, as no man she had traveled with would confirm themselves to be the father. A powerful comet appeared overhead, which guided Native Americans to baby Alvis, bearing gifts of firearms and liquor in a similar manner to the Three Wisemen from the story of the Nativity in Christianity, though whether or not this is held up to as much esteem is up to scrutiny. Rumor has it that baby Alvis had radiantly glowed; as to whether or not that any of this is true is entirely to interpretation, as Sparks claims that the story is a mere myth.
=== Prevalence ===
* Alvis - Founder of Alvisism; is also the arbiter of the virtues of "drinking and revenge".
* Captain Murphy - A devoted Alvisist; he would attempt to organize a feast and a pageant in honor of Alvis (hence "Feast of Alvis").
* Stormy - While not open about his faith in Alvisism, he is the only other crew member apart from Captain Murphy who would show any exhilaration for the holiday of Alvistide, during which he became heavily intoxicated on alcohol, antagonistic, and would ride around on a buffalo.
