Celianism

A family of religions which collectively form the largest pious base in the world, the Celian Religion family contain three formal distinctions and one informal. Celianism has 3 gods, however they aren't worshipped as a pantheon is, with very distinct religious practices tied to each of the three. As such it's generally thought of as monotheistic with some extra details.

Celians all place significant importance in the stars, moon, and sun, which are considered the physical manifestation of divine realms, but from here the paths diverge.

The largest of them is Celestianism, informally called "Goddess Worship" as they revere the Moon, the Lifewell, home to the goddess of purity and joy. She is considered innocent, gentle, and caring, and is often attributed to many vague and specific "good" things, such as the harvest, or the rain. Fire, however, is attributed to her opposite; The King of Hell, sometimes called Inferno to match his realm, the king of corruption, is associated with fire, sex, destruction, and the like, and is worshipped "against" so to speak. A third figure appears in older practices, though doesn't get acknowledged much by modern Celestians, known as The Jester (Sometimes the Jester of the Stars, Void, or Beyond), who dances among the depths of the void, hoarding knowledge and causing chaos. Nowadays, these are also rolls assigned to Inferno. This is one of several religions often used and twisted by Witch Hunters and their ilk.

The next largest is out-competed by a very wide margin, Stylenism. Stylens flip the roles of the Celestians, knowing Inferno (Who they often call the Father, sometimes "Daddy" in an informal manner) as a god of passion and growth; They assign him a purifying blaze, and hold his Sun as producing the light that nourishes plants and warms animals. His worship is sometimes hedonistic or "messy," often involving sex, blood, or alcohol. Meanwhile, the Goddess is most often known as the Ghost, for her realm, and her way of life, is seen as cold and miserable. She isn't so much worshipped against, more seen as a reaper who punishes you for dying with unrealized wants and desires. Like Celestians, most Stylens don't know about the Jester, whose place in the mythos is falling out of favour. The Jester is sometimes called the Harlequin and assigned a negative role of irresponsible hedonism, to contrast the King Father's enjoyed responsibility.

Asterism, largely reduced to cult worship, finally focuses on the Jester, whom they often refer to as "The Jolly Librarian." The Jester is seen as a dark figure who attempts to mislead and deceive, who places stars that move separate to the others, obscuring stars, changing their colours, and otherwise being a right pain in the ass trying to keep their secrets. Asters, sometimes called "Watchers", find some divine duty in the study of the stars, and think of the other gods as obvious distractions. They were, according to local legends, the first to chart the stars, and the creators of the Zodiac.

A fourth option exists within this religion; Putting away all the stuffy bullshit and using the material in local worship. This is technically most common, and is also why the three gods are often called by name, where no such names exist in the mainstream religion. The three can be syncretized in hundreds of ways, but most commonly the Goddess is called names like Mayn, Ersis or Neprys, Triss, or sometimes even Ashunera, the King is typically syncretized with Fomora, Ssreth, or Srtym, and the Jester is sometimes called Urseros or the Elder Gatekeeper.
