Forulian

The **Forulian** faith is an ancient religion that originates from North nieden, and was mainly followed by the Floramii race and is now being rediscovered in Simulami. The main god of the faith is Foruin, which is a key part of life on rathnir and following the Floramii people to it's succeeding path.

## History

The ancient Floramian mythology tells that the religion was discovered and can be traced to the earliest ages of the Floramii civilizations and the Silvan lake. The Silvan lake is said to be the holiest site in the religion as it has been shown to bring abnormal abilities to the people who got baptised, as the water have been the tears of Foruin from the happiness it brought to him. The faith has been widespread through the Floramii people locally, and started slowly to become eradicated when the state of Floramia was born due to the justifications of the previous land owners, and now becoming rediscovered by the two royal brothers of Simulami, Cade Arshnir and Resurrected Arshnir, making them official religious figurehead and saviours of the Floramii people and the Forulian religion.

## Beliefs

The beliefs of a Forulian is that the making of the world came with the four gods getting together and creating the world of Rathnir we know today. Foruin bringing the souls and creating life and bringing light, Ferena bringing the ability to fertilize, love and beauty, Aznudur bringing the stability of the life-death cycle and karma, and Vygesin bringing nature and the whole circle of functionality. The ones that choose to be baptised in the holy Silvan lake will be granted special abilities such as longer life spans, intelligence and healing of all damages. It is also believed that the souls of family members share something in common and form a bond together, so if they ascend then they are happily with each other in peace and can observe their children and guide them throughout their lives.

## The Scripts

The Commandments have been written for all followers to have a common understanding in life:

* The Forulian gods are the only true gods, and no other shall be worshipped that isn't supported by the faith. This also includes saints and religious figures, as they will ascend into their place among the lords.
* No stealing of personal beholdings of another and to lie about their sins.
* The meaning to hurt or kill of another shall be considered a sin, and is not forgiven.
* To treat another life being with disrespect will not be tolerated, treat someone like you want to be treated.
* The excessive usage of alcohol and other substances at gatherings and prayers is prohibited.

### The four main gods of Forulian:

**- Foruin:** God of light and life

**- Ferena:** Goddess of fertility, love and beauty

**- Aznudur:** God of death and darkness

**- Vygesin:** Goddess of nature and it's functionality

### Religious figureheads:

**- Saint Cade Arshnir:** Founder of Floramia and saviour of the faith

**-Saint Resurrected Arshnir:** Master and peacekeeper of the faith and people

The Forulian faith believes that if you've done something important for the upkeep of the faith and people, you'll become a saint no matter if you're dead with gifted abilities. After you ascend as a saint you will take your place amongst Foruin's cohort and become a so called demi god.

To become one with the faith you will have to consider the four gods the true gods and no other. After you've considered yourself a Forulian then you will have to be baptised in the Silvan lake with prayers to become dedicated to the faith.
