Pax Mundism

Pax Mundism was founded by Tonto (FixMyFace), after talking to two Bardonian refugees at a church. The religion does not have many followers yet but Tonto is slowly spreading the belief as he travels Rathnir. Tonto is considered the Prophet of Pax Mundism as he says he received a divine vision while leaving the church where the religion was founded. Additionally, Caenabis and Hi_Dude44 are the two original Pax Mundist Monks that helped Tonto spread their religion. Paxists don't have any restricting traditions as their ultimate goal is world peace throughout Rathnir. Recently, a player named Omnium Excepit(ThePengyKnight) appeared in the Stoneworks feed, claiming to be the true prophet of Pax Mundism and doing such things as allying with the new race of Bardonian revolutionaries. (to some extent) His validity as to these claims has been disputed, and many have theorized that there may be some sort of competition between Tonto and Omnium, but those theories have yet to come to pass.
==Theology==
===Creation===
Pax Mundism was founded at a church where Tonto received a divine vision from an unknown entity. The vision was a world of total peace, no more wars, no more fighting over money, food, and other materialistic things. This vision was given to Tonto after talking to two Bardonian refugees, Ghorge and HomelessCheese. Tonto found it unfair that they had to live in random towns and constantly move as they had bounties on their head after Bardonia was taken down.
===Pax Mundi (World Peace)===
Paxists want there to be world peace. Depending on their branch they will use different methods. Most believe that everyone would be better off if there was no more conflict and everyone lived peacefully on Rathnir.
==Branches==
===Pax Mundism===
Pax Mundism is the belief that Rathnir should be in a state of peace at all times. Although simple at first glance there are multiple variations of this religion. This religion was started by Tonto (FixMyFace), after talking to two Bardonians who had been hunted down and forced to move to different towns as refugees.
===Pax Imperism===
Pax Imperism is a branch of Pax Mundism, it is the belief that peace should and will be the state of the world using any type of force. This includes going to war with anyone who defies the goal of world peace, creating an ironic sense of peace.
===Pax Veritism===
Pax Veritism is another branch of Pax Mundism. Almost an opposite of Imperism, Veritism is the belief that there should be world peace. Though, instead of taking down those who oppose them, they instead debate or protest to get their point across. Hoping to bring true peace to Rathnir.
===Pax Mendacism===
Pax Mendacism is the belief that Rathnir should be in eternal peace that is kept in check by a world government or society. The Mendacists believe they should be the government that controls the peace. Although their motives are vague and it is debated whether they truly seek peace or if they have much darker motives.
===Pax Neutrism===
Pax Neutrism is the belief that peace is a subjective. They believe that to have true peace you also need some conflict in the world. If conflict was completely eradicated the world would spiral into disaster and the goal of peace would be utterly destroyed.
=== Penguinism ===
Penguinism is the unofficial name of the sect of Pax Mundism campaigned by Omnium Excepit(ThePengyKnight), only briefly mentioned by this name once in a poll in the Stoneworks feed. Followers of Penguinism follow the same blunt campaign of world peace that the original Pax Mundists under Tonto(FixMyFace) do, but have a separate flag and origin story. In fact, it has been debated whether they should even qualify as a sect of Pax Mundism or should be credited as an entirely separate religion following in Tonto's footsteps. They believe that their prophet, Omnium Excepit, existed a long time ago on a separate single-player world, on which there canonically was a ruined portal and village by spawn, as well as a fully completed End Portal some distance away in a desert under a village with only one house. It is believed that the seed for this world was the one showcased by Minecraft Seeds Everyday in their video "12-eye portal under a village with only one house", but that has yet to be confirmed by ThePengyKnight. In the canonical lore of that world, it is believed that the blackness of the End Void is a sort of poison that spreads into our world via the End Portal, and that the rest of the buildings that once were near the single house he comes across in the desert were swallowed up by the ground itself, and that he was the only survivor. Additionally, in the lore of the world, he jumps into the End Void and destroys all the crystals, but then dies to Dragon's Breath. He is supposedly reborn on the Stoneworks Fandom as the prophet of Penguinism and is told that he will soon be reborn a second time in Rathnir. The flag of Penguinism symbolizes that, with the yellow stripe symbolizing the miles of desert he had to walk across, the black stripe symbolizing the End Portal he jumped into, and the navy blue stripe symbolizing the Ender Pearls he used multiple times to save himself from death. The white triangle on the left of the flag symbolizes the New World of Rathnir, and the green laurel wreath within the triangle symbolizes the peace he hopes to bring to it.
