Dionysism

**Dionysism** is a monotheistic religion about intoxication. This religion uses alcohol to ascend to a higher state of mind and is themed around freeing your mind with alcohol. It was created in ancient times, but died out after the god of the religion (named either **Bierser** or **Wijner** depending on the language) fell in a black out drunk coma for millions of years. After all that time people started having visions of them again. And with their awakening within peoples minds, They are now strong enough to start their grand quest of freeing the minds of all.

#### History

Not many know the full history of **Dionysism**, but many know about the period of the Great Coma of where **Bierser/Wijner** was erased from the minds of the people of Rathnir. This is the period were the minds of people where enslaved in anger and somberness. In the times before the great coma, they say that there was no negativety, no somberness and no conflict. Now that they have awoken once again, they will make that brief portion of the past a reality again.

#### Beliefs

The beliefs Of **Dionysism** are pretty simple: freeing your mind (most of the time by the means of alcohol, but really any drug could work) will bring you closer to the will of **Bierser/Wijner**. The will of **Bierser/wijner** is to be in a state of complete freedom. Where not a thing can spoil your joys. Where not a thing can bind you with the chains of reality. Where not a thing can stop you from being you. The moon is also very importend to the religion, seeing as it is where **Bierser/Wijner** resides. A priest of a priest bloodline is able to see changes in the moon. This priest comes of a bloodline that are direct descendens of **Bierser/Wijner** which causes these people to have the abillity to see these changes. Changes like the moon turning red or blue. Wen the moon has turned red, that means that **Bierser/Wijner** is having a feast with lots of alcohol, meaning that they are more reckless and answers of rituals will be more extreme. With a blue moon they are completely sober, so they will be more carefull and less extreme in how they answer a ritual.
