## Practice

### Place of Onset

Astrana

Friven, a giant beast which resides in the Split Sea. It is the god of the ocean, storms, and royalty.

Creokin, a dragon-like beast which resides deep in the jungles. It is the god of the sky, fortune, and souls.

Trai'oan, a humanoid god which was slain by Viek. It was the god of fortune, knowledge, and pride.

Goben, a humanoid god which is often seen as the reason Astrana has its current level of technology. Goben is the god of advancement, the mind, and gluttony.

Sha'mir, a humanoid god which is depicted as a sort of trickster god. Rather then being formed from the 2 Primordial Stars, Sha'mir is an ascened Cerki which was ascended by Ertai. Ranging from harlmess tricks to convincing people to kill, Sha'mir is usually required to be stopped by Ertai if they get out of hand. Sha'mir is the god of ascension, crime, and greed.

Ertai, a humanoid goddess who instead of being deep in the jungles or in the fathomless sea, is often depicted as walking among the citizens of Astrana disguised. Often times this is as a beggar or other low in position people, testing people on their kindness or morality. To those she deems good, they shall be rewared. To those who aren't, they shall be punished. Ertai is the goddess of morality, charity, nature, and lust.

## Creation Origin and More

At the start their were 2 stars, the Primordial Stars. These 2 stars together formed the main pantheon deities, all except for Sha'mir of course. This was after centuries upon centuries of the universe existing, and in this time the planet had formed. The deities, much like the soon to be Cerki and Xerta, fell upon the planet in the form of shooting stars. These shooting stars were so bright it turned night into bright day.

For years the deities roamed the land, but were alone still. So they created humans with their combined powers. For thousands of years they watched them evolve and grow until they decided to reveal themselves to a certain small settlement called Astrana. Here the Fetethos religion would start and where Astrana would start progressing at a fast speed.

However, eventually the Primordial Stars would start forming other beings. These beings were 2 types of spirits called Xerta and Cerki. For a brief moment chaos sprung up across Astrana, the deities eventually managing to quell it. However, not all was good. With the Cerki came the Twisted Madness, a malovent force to be reckoned with, even by gods. This would later be proven by the Slaying of Trai'oan.

One Cerki named Sha'mir was different, however. Unlike all other Cerki until this point, they were the first Cerki to be able to resist their natural malovence towards humans, deities, and Xerta. Ertai, seeing potential in this, convinced Sha'mir to let her ascend him to a deity to help control the Cerki to which he did.

After many months the explosion of Xerta and Cerki slowed down, mostly with the help of Sha'mir.

## Values

Fetethos belief strongly rejects xenophobia and amnosity towards others with different religions, however, despite this as with all things some people just don't listen. Fetethos belief holds all people as equal, at least on a metaphysical basis.

## Deities Info

The main deities often communicate to people through dreams, directly, or as a voice in their mind. They operate mostly in a regional basis, only rarely exerting influence outside the jungles of Astrana and its surrounding area.
