Creed of Ostre

The Creed of Ostre relates to the will and personage that Ostre imbued in hs peoples. It is an ideology shared by all of the first-placed, and one that the order of Men have endeavoured to preserve thereafter.

## Luente (Luente of the Creed)

The first to identify this doctrine of morals and wellbeing as anything more than emotions was Luente, first-born of High Ostre, and considered the first philosopher of Men. As a thoerist, she devoted her life to exploring the rights and wrongs of life. Her life's work bor the Creed of Ostre, a list of tenets by which she had discovered all Men should live, as wished by Ostre. The original Creed is made up of two sections, those being her own discoveries, and those of others.
