## Abyss Mysticism

It was created by the Prophet Assurdirapal in the ancient times of a different reality. Today, Abyss Mysticism is the core of Valdreach state religion’s doctrine, and some say that the Abyss Mystics have a strong connections with the higher clergy. The followers of this philosophy can officially follow other religions, because of the universal nature of their beliefs, and their true number is known only to few. Nevertheless, according to rumors, their ranks are rapidly growing, and now they have hidden representatives in most nations. While their agenda remains unknown, they seem to value intelligence, wisdom and daring. People who catch their interest may even sometimes receive the offer to join the elusive Order, but only if they pass the test and prove themselves worthy. Some of the numerous scriptures of Abyss Mysticism may be studied here.

## Alvum Animo

*Main article : Alvum Animo Religion*

When our written language was just created, the Blessed One set off for the Taranga Islands, where the temple of the old ways sat. They planned to document the Islands, so those who couldn't make the journey would know about them. The Blessed One traveled far and wide searching for the islands of Taranga, only to find they had been taken over by Astraeus's mushrooms. They had camped on the island for six days and seven nights, when, on the seventh day, Astraeus whispered to the Blessed One. *Tear down the old temple, for I have slayed Tangaroa.* And so the Blessed One tore down the temple. When they reached their boat, they found a baby swaddled in blankets. Astraeus said, *This one is mine. When it is old enough, it will be the priest, as will all its descendants. Take care of it, and I will take care of you.*

When the Blessed One returned back to their village, they relayed the news. Most accepted it, as they were used to the actions of the Gods. However, some either couldn't decide, or wanted to toss the Blessed One to the sea as a sacrifice for Tangaroa. The Blessed One cried out bitterly to Astraeus, asking how were they meant to raise the child when they couldn't even raise the whole village's support. So Astraeus said, *Don't worry. You are Blessed. Touch a cow in front of them. It is my sacred animal and will respond to you.* The next day the Blessed one gathered the entire village to watch. Some said they were as disgusting as the cows themselves, as Tangaroa hated the beast, and told them to burn them when they wanted rid of bad omens. Others were worried about the animals charging. They had always had a high temper, and now that winter was coming and they were on a measly amount of food, it wasn't any better. But slowly, the Blessed One reached out to touch a cow.

When they touched the cow, it turned red and grew mushrooms on its back. The cow did not seemed harmed. They touched the rest of the cows, turning them all into what would later be called mooshrooms. "Who else would like to be blessed?" asked the Blessed One. "What will happen to us?" the villager sounded fearful. ***Nothing.*** Astraeus's voice boomed from the heavens for all to hear. ***The cows are sacred to me, so I show their signs visibly. Yours, I shall show mentally.*** A shout rang out from the crowd. "We shall never bow to any other than Tangaroa!" The group of 15 or so people who still believed in Tangaroa leapt onto their horse and galloped away. "You can still be blessed if you wish," said the Blessed One quietly. ***Or you can join those traitors fates.*** Naturally, everyone chose to be blessed. What no one knew was that by being blessed, they were joining a hive-mind controlled by Astraeus. No one, except the baby found in the boat. Coincidently, the baby and her descendants were also the only ones who weren't blessed. Yet they could 'bless' others. Not all outsiders think this is a coincidence.

## Aracnism

Aracnism religion centered around the spider-goddess Lady Fide, as well as some minor gods. Arachnists hold to the belief that you should never act on thoughts of deceit, fear, or malice.

In this festival, the followers feast on meats that were not sourced from the trees and the seas, as it is believed that these animals were the gift of Arde to the disciples. There is also a large bonfire held, where followers burn their most valuable items to sacrifice to Arde. The most sacred sacrifice is a Sea Turtle, which can only be killed during the Festival and only in order to Return the animal to Doxt to be with Gelkle. Curiously, outside of the Festival, the consumption of animals from the trees and sea is permitted, however the killing of a Sea Turtle is a huge sin, and could be punished with many more years in Ten

## Asharu

Main article: Asharu Religion
The Asharu Religion is considered by many to be the oldest consistent faith in all of Rathnir. It is based around animism, its followers believing that every object or concept has a mind of its own.

The closest thing to a pantheon would be a list of local city deities known as "Elder Spirits", with Ashuntash being their leader. Ashuntash is the spirit of Fire, Law and Enlightenment, he is often depicted as reddish-golden peacock-hawk wearing 1.000.000 feathers. Most Asharu live in Haven and Ummarnu, making up the majority religion in Paloro, Uldarash, as well as all of its vassal states.

## Ashurite Pantheon

The Ashurite Pantheon was the official religion of the Dominion of Ashura. Its beliefs revolve around their creator goddess A'ashia and her six children who are worshipped as well.

With this harmony, we need to live in equilibrium and temperance, The Asitir worship Asi, the Moon Goddess, for they believe the place of the moon in the cosmos to be one of transition, as it is in the threshold between Light and Dark, two primordial universal forces.

The followers of Asi can often be recognized by their greetings. When parting way, it is often that they will use such expressions as "May Her light illume you road", or "Safe travels, friend" - two important quotes at the end of the Adaere Namu, which is the religious canon of the Asitir.

## Auronism

Originating as an offshoot of Noxism, Auronites hail the sun god Auron as the chief deity in the pantheon of several different gods. Auron is the sun reborn and cleanses the world of monsters every dawn. As well as providing light for the world he also provides fire, lava and crops, Auronism is primarily followed by the Cult of Auron at Auron's peak, who left Sovdal after the great fires of rathnir.

## Aurelianism

Aurelianism is believed to originate from Noxism, starting with an apostate exodus, however has been dead since at least 220 ACA. Aurelians worship the goddess Aurum, the goddess of prosperity, who is believed to have given her left eye to be the sun and her blood spilt, leading to the existence of gold in Rathnir. She is depicted as a sort of mother figure, authoritative but caring, and is depicted to have two forms: A human form and her true from, made of gold and glowstone, which will blind anyone who sees her.

Aurelians (what those who practice Aurelianism are called) were expected to live within their own sacred communities and were given jobs and roles by the High Priest of the communities, picked by Aurum herself. However, sometime in 183 ACA, a major revolt of Aurelians led to the dissolution of the religion and Theocratic State of Aurelia. By 220 ACA, all practicing Aurelians had been converted or died.

They believe that by connecting with and honoring the avatars, they can tap into their immense power and align themselves with the fundamental aspects of the universe.

## Bradecarashirism

Bradecarashirism is the Ancient Religion of the Hiarllii people in the Ancient Nation of Quijal (AKA Bradecblight), in Northern Ummarnu, Now a part of the Huitca Federation. It is considered by scholars to be a cross between the Ashurite Pantheon and Cardinalism. Bradecarashirists believe that Dadrikra (AKA A'ashal) is the Highest Goddess and the creator of Rathnir, and they believe in the 4 Cardinalist Gods, but they are known under different names. The Cardinalist Gods of, Calibrius (Cualitzin), The Western Fruit of Quiaust (Tlahatepa), The Southern Fruit of Quibriqn (Xoalcoatl), and Mahobius (Meclahua), are not seen as the creators of the world, but rather the upholders of it. Just like Cardinalism, rituals are performed to satisfy the Gods.

Bradecarashirism was founded 2000 years ago when Lost Ancient Huitca settlers integrated into Elven Tribes in Northern Ummarnu. Dadrikra was worshiped among the Dune Elves of Northern Ummarnu for many millennia, and was adapted by the Huitca settlers two thousand years ago. When the Hiarllii Ethnic Group (Which is Half Elf and Half Human) started to form 200 years later from Huitca x Elf Crossbreeding, they adapted both Cardinalist and Elven values, creating Bradecarashirism, with Dadrikra as the head of the Pantheon. Dadrikra was celebrated on the nation's most important holiday, Founding Day.

The Religion was thought to have died 1000 Years ago, but Tyo'on'tyo Dou'wall, A Reborn Hiarllii, is attempting to revive it in the Huitca State of Zoquiyo.

## Brine

Brine was thought to be one of the oldest religions before it was lost several millennium's ago. It is unclear where Brine originated but it was thought to be the very first religion to be invented. Brine Only has one true god which is the misunderstood deity Herobrine. The worshiping of Herobrine was the cause of the collapse of the religion. Many of the worlds first people thought Herobrine was a devilish entity who thought only to destroy people and cultures. The religion of Brine however states otherwise, The lost book of Ceirdmianach states it was herobrine who created the world of Rathnir and its life but when a devilish being know as Notch got jealous of Herobrines creation he smited Herobrine (which gave him his white eyes) and told the world that it was he who created the world and that Herobrine was a devil in disguise trying to lure the life of Rathnir into his fiery domain.

Today Brine remains almost entirely forgotten except for a small people of Scyre who wish to revive the religion and bring back glory to Herobrine. A ritual to speak to Herobrine is known as a íobairt, which usually involves the giving of an object that has a big significance to the player to a herobrine. The object need not be powerful or worth anything it just has to have a connection to the player such as the players first sword or the players favourite book.

## Blue Phoenixians

The Blue Phoenixians is a monotheistic religion originating in an unknown location somewhere off the coast of Navarancia, but truly taking hold in the freehold of Remtal in Ryzan. The belief of the Blue Phoenixians is originated around the Blue Flame, which created all life and brings kindness to the world and the many mockeries made of it by its rival the Red Phoenix of Death, and the two's inevitable conflict in the Final Mockery where the planet will be reborn and new orders will rise.

Followers of this religion tend to have tough exteriors but are mandated to be kind, as laid out in the Blue Truth's main tenants of religion, after the message was spoken to the prophet EoinGeo although this religion tends to hide out in smaller groups, underground, a Blue Phoenixian cannot refuse to lend a hand to those in need, whether that is in rathnir or anywhere else.

## Chichism

Chichism is a polytheistic religion believing in 2 Gods - Pek and Man. Originating from Pikulia, is it practised by not only it's citizens but also other peoples. The religion is built upon Legends and Revelations, covering it's ideals and functioning.

No evil deities are present within it, instead, the 2 Gods, Pek and Man, let the people themselves decide their fate. Pek is the God of all natural creations, being able to contact via visions, He is praised by silent prayer and sacrifices of natural resources. Man is the God of all man-made creations, not only materials ones, but beliefs and societies as well. He's able to contact via thought and is praised by spoken prayers, sacrifices of man-made objects and bettering one's position in life - be it by good or evil deeds.

The followers of Chichism have no complex moral obligations. They are only mandated to spread the faith peacefully, and to fight for it until their death. Sacrifices must be attended by any follower who is able to take part, not doing so puts them in risk of expulsion from the religion.

## Church of Six Divines

Main article: Church of Six Divines
The **Church of Six Divines**, or **Gisdalfgoda**, is a polytheistic religion originating from Illerya, colony of the Kingdom of Daelyria. It's a modernized version of pagan beliefs practiced by the ancient Nortfolk on uncharted islands north of Rathnir. Many years ago said islands froze due to a drastic climate change, forcing their inhabitants to flee south. The modern iteration of the Church of Six Divines came to being because of Kazmeer III of The Tribe Unmourned, who transformed loose pagan beliefs into an organized religion to make it fit better into more civilized societies of Rathnir. They continuously settled and were expelled from kingdoms with lesser freedom of belief, until finally settling in the city of Illerya, built by Kushite refugees where they were accepted into the society and allowed to practice their religion, raised a temple and converted few locals to the ways of the Holy Six.

Followers of this religion often become self proclaimed preachers, traveling across Rathnir spreading their faith far and wide. They don't consider infidels heretics, rather misguided souls who worship their own deities under different names and will try their best to convert said infidels into worshiping the "correct forms" of their deities.

Church of Six Divines believes that humanity shares the power of the long dead deity Populus inside of their souls, and that it's their sacred mission to use it to guard the delicate balance of power between the ever-fighting Divines, for no single deity has the wisdom required to rule the realm without destroying it in the process.

## Church of The Broken Realms

## Church of The Two Lôdiem

The **Church of The Two Lôdiem,** or **Lodiemi Paganism**, is a duotheistic religion that originated on the tribe of Elesgatî, today Elesgate, and was founded by the Prophet Potiauara Apisamus. The religion believes in two gods: Lôdi Eilâtome, god of the universe and the universe itself; and Lâdi Alaechma, Goddess of creation. Both of them are in a constant fight against Ei-Potoka, the embodiment of evil. The religion was extinct during the colonization of the tribe by Nelondian settlers, but was revived by a descendant of Potiauara, called Koala Apisamus.

The members of the church believe that every living being that Alaechma created is a messenger of the Lôdiem. For this reason, they have the most absolute respect for nature and animals. The main messengers for the church are the bees, for they were the first living beings to be created. For that reason, every temple of the religion has a bee hive on them, For their prayers to be able to reach the Lôdiem.

## Monastic Cubism

## Cult of the King of Dirt

The Cult of the King of Dirt is a secretive cult with many centers of worship all across Rathnir. Do you see a mound of dirt near you, especially with a Blue Orchid? The cult is nearby! We believe in the redemption of the land, especially the land desecrated by war. However, we typically operate in Terra Nullius, and have a sophisticated method of worship of our God, the King of Dirt. We believe in many other Gods, but the King of Dirt is the Least of the Gods. However, he is still a God, and thus worthy of worship. He can easily be incorporated in polytheistic religions, and with some creative thinking even in some monotheistic ones. May the King of Dirt Bless you and your Nation, my friend.

## Cult Of The Nameless King

## Faxemis Angelae

### Summary

Faxemis Angelae is a polytheistic religion which dates back to November 2021. It worships three main gods: Faxemus, the creator of the Universe, the creator of the gods and the king of Bariteliath; Bellum, informally known as the God of War, is the father and commander of the angelic legions and the builder of the two realms, Bariteliath (home of the gods) and Infaiall (prison under the void); Avelinae, the creator of life.

### The Creation of The Universe

Long before time was a thing, when the universe was just a big void, Faxemus wandered around, dreaming about turning that nothingness into something.

Until he finally decided to create something, another Goda, who he named Bellum. Faxemus gave him the mission to create a perfect place that the gods could call home, and that would make it possible for him to observe the entire universe and defend it's balance. Bellum worked non-stop for thousands of years, until he finally got what he was asked to do. He dubbed his creation Bariteliath, which means "The perfect place" in Gorzetheriall, the ancient language of the gods.

Having a place that allowed him to see the entire universe, Faxemus made his second creation, a small red ball he named Liliath, and threw it into the void. A few seconds later, a huge explosion was heard and light was seen for the first time. Liliath's explosion transformed the universe, filling it with large, bright white stars.

### The Great War

A long time had passed and humanity was already well developed, when rumors began to circulate about a group of people who worshiped an evil god. When these rumors reached Bellum's ears, he immediately decided to act and hunt down the evil spirit known as Noxetus, a spirit that lives in the darkest and coldest corners of the void and that constantly corrupts people in order to harvest their souls. Bellum then created multiple types of angels, each one responsible for protecting different people, temples, towns, cities and empires from the evil spirits.

He, along with the two most powerful angels ever created (Lux and Aqua), went to work trying to find Noxetus to free humanity from that monstrous creature. Little did he know that the spirit was already harvesting souls and had found a group of loyal servants who saw him as a god, I am speaking, of course, of the acient followers of the Abyss Mysticism religion.

Noxetus' followers had been strengthening him, by expanding their religion, so, when Bellum and his companion finally found him, it seemed like it was too late, humanity had become corrupted and seemed hopeless. Avelinae, the creator of manking, wasn't able to look at his creation anymore: humans were not the same.

A huge fight began, on one side was Bellum and his angels and on the other side Noxatus and his followers. The fight was so brutal that divided the universe in half, leaving one side in an eternal darkness. Bellum and his angels won the fight and imprisioned Noxatus in Infaiall, the prision bellow the void, from where he escaped once more, leaving Lux on his cell. But he was eventually caught with the help of three players who saved Lux and imprisioned Noxetus with one of the best sacrifices given to the gods.

### The 5 rules

* Be Kind
* Be Honest
* Don't hurt others without a proper reason
* Help without expecting anything in return
* Try your best to spread your faith

## Granism

Main article: Granism
Granism is a monotheistic religion that focuses its divine worship on wheat and bread. It is most prevalent in Neo Knossos, however, surrounding villages have begun to adopt this religion of peace. Its roots can be found in Willikanism, a pagan set of beliefs originating in Old Knossos. Today, Granians worship one God with two aspects, one in times of peace and the other in times of war, and while they may follow other religions in accordance with the religious freedoms of Neo Knossos, devout Granians condemn other religions as heretical.

Granism is strongly connected to wheat fields and the production of bread. Fields in which wheat grow are deemed sacrosanct and may only be harvested when the wheat is fully grown. The damaging of unripe crops is considered sinful and is punished severely. Additionally, Granists disavow any other food than bread as unclean and sinful. The consumption of bread is the staple food but also heavily involved in religious ceremony.

Granism acknowledges the divine appearance before two people. Sporos, the peaceful aspect of the Granian God, appeared before Delta in the form of a farmer with a golden hoe as he was tilling his fields. Vilkos appeared to Realz as his people fled the cataclysm of Old Knossos and fed and protected his people with his golden axe. When Delta and Realz met they were divided on the nature of the Granian God until He sent His Prophet in the form of a baker. The Prophet revealed to the heirs of Knossos the two-sided nature and brought religious peace.

## Hukar Sharud

Hukar Sharud is a religion native to the lands of the Yimmu-Audal. The faith believes in the all-including divinity Aradusu Aderrid. The subconscious aspects of the Araudu Aderrid include all gods known to mankind known as the Yimmu Laharae. These aspects compete for influence in the collective consciousness. Under the guidance of the messenger aspect Hukar Sharud, followers of the faith seek to keep balance between the Yimmu Laharae, thus preventing divine conflict creating strife in the corporeal world. The Esbitum *(Priesthood)* of the faith conducts worship practices to these aspects and maintains the Audalad Dynasty, which is believed to derive its divine right over the holy lands from periodic visitations of the Hukar Sharud. It was founded in August 2020, then as the Pantheon of the Holy Golden Seabird.

### Beliefs

Hukar Sharud believes that all gods and deities of the worlds Paxia, Jagdas, Rathnir, and Eldham are true and coexist. These aspects are called the Yimmu Laharae. The faith believes that the many Laharae are in actuality competing parts of one greater consciousness, the Arudusu Aderrid. They coexist together in an eternal struggle, their greater communication forming the consciousness of the Aradusu, while they are the subconsciousness. Furthermore, not only is the Aradusu Aderrid the greater consciousness made by all divinities, but it is the fabric of the universe itself, a dreaming being dreaming itself.

As each Lahar gains devoted followers, it is able to influence more of its will within the collective consciousness of Aradusu Aderrid and thus steer reality in its favor. The process of competing for the will of the collective consciousness of divinity can be brutal and may result in widespread strife in the corporeal world.

However, within the Aradusu Aderrid there exists a messenger Lahar (*Aspect*) known as the Hukar Sharud (*Golden Albatross*) which may communicate the state of the divine consciousness. In exchange for maintaining balance between the Yimmu Laharae such as to reduce the pain of the corporeal world, the Hukar Sharud had come to the Prophet Narahashu to grant divine right over the holy lands of Yimmu-Audal. This lead to the establishment of the Audalad Dynasty, a holy line of succession of to lead the faith. This event is chronicled in the First Revelation.

In this manner, the followers of the faith exist in a pact with the Hukar Sharud. Under its guidance, they work to keep the many Laharae in balance and reduce the strife placed upon the corporeal world. This may include worshipping either a vast array of deities, or instead worshipping none and merely honoring them. The Audalad Dynasty and its supporters are also tasked with providing peace and prosperity to the holy lands.

As gratitude for the success of their initial service, the Hukar Sharud brought forth the Second and Third Revelations, resulting in an expanded understanding of the universe and providing more prophecies.

The faith has several holy texts including the Yimmu Alshud Dezum Autai Dar Shur (*The Many Tablets of Water and Gold)* which contain translations of the Kair Dez Istar *(True Histories)* and the Four Revelations, the Nen Shair, and the Liber Sanguinis (followed exclusively by the Sangadi). Additional tablets exist which have been written by members of the Audalad Dynasty with commentaries on the nature of power and statecraft which are called "Urdae Dezum Naddar Ori" (*The Living Words of Divine Wind*). The Urdae Dezum Naddar Ori are known to be kept secret, only available to the true members of the Audalad Dynasty and only comprehensible by those touched by Naddar Ori.

#### View of The Afterlife

Within the Hukar Sharud faith it is believed that all people ascend into Aradusu Aderrid upon death or when dreaming, merging their consciousness with that of Aradusu Aderrid (*Tenebrous Paradise*) to become parts of its Yimmu Laharae (*Many Aspects)*. The exact Lahar whose consciousness a person joins after death depends on whichever Lahar they demonstrated true allegiance to in the corporeal world. Oftentimes, to join a Lahar means to experience the afterlife of a particular religion, which exists as a dream of the respective god or deity within the greater dream of the Aradusu Aderrid dreaming itself. In the case of true atheists, their consciousness dissolves into nothingness within the dream of the Aradusu Aderrid. Sometimes, the consciousness of a mortal may be divided amongst different Laharae after death. Mortals of extreme willpower have been known to join the Laharae themselves, or as in the case of Mónath, sneak into the Aradusu Aderrid through unknown backdoors to attain immortality.

Sharudi *(Followers of Hukar Sharud)*, however, are touched by Naddar Ori *(Divine Wind)*. They can do more than simply ascend and merge with Aradusu Aderrid like all others. Instead, they are capable of ascending to a sub-realm of Aradusu Aderrid called Aradusu Uturad (*Shining Paradise*) in which the true nature of the universe is revealed to a degree depending on the strength of their piety. While it is impossible to imagine this for mortals as it takes place outside of three-space linearity, existing in Aradusu Uturad can be metaphorically interpreted as riding the beams of light from the shining wings of crystal clear water and liquid gold. This happens as the Hukar Sharud soars over the infinite sea of all other Laharae. It is said that the Lahar Narahashu sometimes appears as a ray of light that joins alongside the riders.

It is also possible to subtly affect the corporeal world as a being within Aradusu Uturad. The degree of such influence that one may wield differs depending on the willpower of the ascended individual. However, while some individuals of exceptional willpower not touched by the Naddar Ori may even affect the corporeal world from the normal state of Aradusu Aderrid, it is only through ascending to Aradusu Uturad that the true nature of the universe can be revealed to them.

#### Naddar Ori and Bi'Amel Unshi

Periodically, the messenger Lahar of Hukar Sharud, which usually appears as a impossibly large albatross of crystal clear water and liquid gold, whose wings span from one end of the horizon to the other, appears to Audalad leaders and provides holy revelations. Followers of the Hukar Sharud Faith and those in general who help preserve the corporeal world are called Orissaradae *(Ascended Ones)*. Orissaradae are considered to have the Naddar Ori (*Divine Wind*) which is said to come from the beating of the Hukar Sharud's wings. The Naddar Ori provides good fortune and success in enterprise.

The believers of the faith seek to furthermore demonstrate their merit and rise to become members of the Audalad Dynasty, a non-hereditary line of succession. The line of leaders was established by the messenger aspect of the Aradusu, Hukar Sharud (*Golden Albatross*), when it granted the first Audalad, Stori, the right of Bi'Amel Unshi (*Divine Permanence*). Bi'Amel Unshi entails divine right and the guarantee of the Aradusu to support the leaders insofar as they do their best to support the stability of the world and protect all Orissaradae.

#### The Sangadi

The Sangadi are a subset of Hukar Sharud followers who believe in the Fourth Revelation and the Liber Sanguinis.

In their account, following the Fourth Revelation it became clear that among the Yimmu Laharae, one force had become the strongest. This force is the Lahar of Yara-Sanguid, commonly known as the *Blood God.* Yara-Sanguid seeks to destroy the world. For this reason, the Sharudi (*Believers*) conduct material, animal, and human sacrifices to prevent placate the Lahar who seeks blood and prevent the absolute end. By doing so they carry Naddar Ori (*Divine Wind*), which improves their spirits, productivity, luck, and competence in their actions. The Sangadi interpret fullfilling Naddar Ori and Bi'Amel Unshi by placating Yara-Sanguid with material and blood sacrifices (animal and human) at holy sites to stop total annihilation.

### Gods and Deities

Although the faith believes all gods and deities to be real within Aradusu Aderrid, the dreaming being dreaming itself which is the universe, some Laharae are given special attention. Due to their their immense power or historical roles in the history of the Sharudi, the Esbitum *(Priesthood)* officially recognizes and monitors the worship of these beings.

#### Worshipped Yimmu Laharae

* Hukar Sharud - The messenger aspect of the Aradusu Aderrid and the source of Naddar Ori and Bi'Amel unshi. Appearing as a great albatross or phoenix of crystal clear water and liquid gold, it provides revelations to devout followers. Sharudi believe that Asi, Sylene, and others are one and the same with the Hukar Sharud. It is the god of water, balance, stability, and rebirth.
* Yara-Sanguid - Represents a dissatisfaction with creation, a face to the many spirits who feel that the world should be unmade instead of improved out of shame because of the failures they see in mortals. Violence and sacrifice are seen as representing that wish because they help march towards an inevitable end. Colloquially known as the blood god.
* Theios Utamad - Deity of the sun, fire, deserts, and hermits. Theios, Sakrelith, and Solaris are all deities worshipped through Theios Utamad.
* Narahashu - Ascended spirit of the former Opkaituru Narahashu, Stori Audalad who is the progenitor of the Audalad Dynasty and Yimmu Audal. Narahashu is associated with ambition, vigilance, persistence, vanity, and guiding light.
* Mónath - Sleeping devourer and hunter of the Yimmmu Laharae. Technically not a Lahar themselves, Mónath had been a mortal who snuck into Aradusu Aderrid with the intention of killing gods. Due to their corporeal past, the being is associated with family, guardians, and hunters.
* Sauj Dalkad - The sentient force of delusions, barriers, and sorcery; the source of purturbation within Aradusu Aderrid.
* Agönfassari - Warden of the garden of imagination. Also known as Gonf, it is the deity of death, rebirth, and vegetation, and opulence.

## Meridia's Cult

**Discord**: https://discord.gg/KZsfekvZ

The Cult of Meridia or Church of Meridia was started in August, 2023 by the player NeitherMarker85. The only goddess of the religion is based on Skyrim's Daedric prince Meridia, therefor the goddess is some times called the princess goddess Meridia. Since it is not a real-life religion nor a meme religion it is still inside the rules for religions in the server. Meridia is described as a goddess of Light and Life with great pride, those who try to get favors from her by doing rituals or prays will more often than not find themselves either ignored or punished for attempting to command the goddess for she only responds to action.

**The Temple**

Meridia's first temple is located in Hollencity, the place where the religion is said to have started. It consist on a terrifying statue of the head of Meridia with a massive blue fire in front of it and a lower lever where glowberries grow and a copy of "Meridia's Light" rest upon a lectern.

The temple has the particularity that her eyes of lava will open with the first lights of dawn and close as soon as the sky turns dark. Symbolizing the period of time Meridia's gaze burns the undead.

**How to be a part of the cult**

As an initiation tradition one must gather a total stack of 64 rotten flesh. Then the player who wishes to become an Acolyte of Meridia must create his own shrine with a blue fire in wich to burn the remains of the undead. Only then Meridia's light is said to be felt, through action, not words.

The book "Meridia's Light" is the first religious book of the cult and was written by it's founder to spread the religion to other players so they may also be touched by Meridia's light.

It is important to know that even tho it is a relgion Meridia does not care if you have other beliefs as long as you follow her rules and do not insult her.

**How to honour Meridia**

To honour this goddess one must simply burn the remains of the undead in the blue fire, remains of any kind, rotten flesh, bones, soulsand, wither skulls, nether stars or even the undead themselves, all are valid tributes. The burning of this things is the defeat of the undead and therefor shows you are following Meridia's will.

Even tho every light can represent Meridia, the Light of Dawn is strongly more asociated with her since it is the first light of the morning and therefor the light that burns the undead after the night, honouring her during this time shows an even stronger devotion to her.

Glowing berries are said to be sacred to the followers of Meridia since they represent both light and life, it is said that those who eat them feel the light of Meridia through their bodies as their skin begins to glow for a few seconds. They are also defeaters of the undead since they stop them from spawning inside caves where glowberries are, even tho the goddess has no spiritual conexion to them they are still a strong representation of her.

Allays and skeleton horses are still undead creatures, therefor using them while claiming to be part of the cult of Meridia is considered an insult to the goddess and therefor dangerous, defiling a shrine to Meridia will often lead to the death of the defiler and the burning of his inventory in the restored shrine.

**Meridia's Gifts**

When burning the body of the fake life some might recieve gifts from the goddess, this might be either a revelation of sorts to a weapon that will aid them in the destruction of the undead. However one must never use the altar expecting a gift from the Goddess her prideful nature makes her easy to offend, and her punishments are very, very severe!

Because she is a goddess of Light and Life she despises the undead of any kind, and since she does not often respond to sacrifice it is recomended the player slays hundreds of undead in her name to get her attention. Trying to trick this goddess with rotten flesh or bones from chests is not recomended, her acolytes must act to clean the world from the undead, anything else would be an insult to her...

**The afterlife**

Meridia's followers believe that once they die the'll go to a diferent plane of exsistence and reach a realm called "The Colored Rooms" this place is said to be a combination of a coral reef and a vast field of floating stones, strewn with colorful trails of dust or cloud. The "ground" between the stones looks like luminescent water, but is solid enough to walk on. The skies are described as floating effluvium oceans of crimson.

It is said that in this realm the diferet kinds of magic, from enchantments to illagers summonings, converge into the ethernal energies.

**The Festival of Life**

The festival of life is a party celebrated at Meridia's temple every last day of the month, it is done to celebrate life itself therefor every player regardless of religion is invited. In it players drink alcohol (mostly wine), play trivia games, flower lottery, and other activities. The main event is the burning of four skeleton horses at dawn representing the reach of Meridia; to the East, to the West, to the South and to the North.

During the games prizes may be won, from player heads to x-ray potions, or other high value stuff. It is important to remember that even tho it is a religious festival it is not meant to indoctrinate people into the religion but to show Meridia's love for the living regardless of wether they believe in her or not.

## Metaliscism

It all began when the earth and the nether were brought into existence with living things in it.

The humans lived a hard life on earth and the piglins lived an even harder life in the nether.

The God of ores, Maximus, took pity on us and gave us ores.

To the nether he gave gold and netherite, to earth he gave coal, iron, gold, Redstone, lapis, diamond and emerald.

However,

The piglins became jealous of the humans wealth and therefore a prestigious leader declared war on the humans.

After many long and hard battles the resilient humans threw out the piglins against all odds and the piglins retreated back into the nether.

As a punishment for their actions,  Maximus killed their leader and took 75% of their gold and gave it to earth.

Legend says whenever a large group of brutes meet, they burn in godly fire.

## Mizunosei

As the Mizunosei worship the spirits of water, the water itself is a precious gift. Water is considered to be an infinite expanse, a formless womb, that rests at the heart of the universe. For a beliver, this means that a moment of joy can be captured in water, and in this sense, their worship of water is a prayer to the spirits of water.

## Theiosism

*Main Article Theiosism*

**Theiosism** is a monotheistic religion predominantly practiced within the Archonate of Theiónikos and other regions of Rathnir's central continent of Alteniquia. Its sole and primary deity is Theios who is believed to be the God of the Universe and Father of Mankind.

He is also accompanied by a number of Angels, Servants, and Saints as well as the Four Prophets who are revered by Theiosists and Sakrelists alike for being the Incarnations of God.

Theios is understood as the God of not only the Sun, but of the entire universe. The Sun is simply one of three divine visages, the Trinity. The first visage of the Trinity is the Sun, which represents Theios' might and glory, as well as the scale of his power and place as the supreme ruler of the cosmos. The second visage is Light, which represents the gift of Life granted to man by Theios as well as his holy word. The third and final visage is Fire, which represents Theios' will and divine law, as well as his wrath and judgement delivered upon those who break this law or who are sinful.

### Angels

They perform their roles diligently and are highly respected by Theios for their great service to creation. Followers of Theios revere these angels and often choose to give tribute to one in particular as their patron angel, just as Theios had commanded mortals to do. There are eight angels, each with their own domain and purpose

## The Burning Wheel

The Burning Wheel is a dualistic religion originating from the world of Tremons. Its doctrine states that there exists a constant spiritual cycle of birth, death, and conflict fueled by the turning of the *Burning Wheel,* and instigated by the platonic dark and light. All souls live countless lives, eternally seeking to achieve dominance for either light or dark. Adherents of the Burning Wheel believe that the true answer to escaping pain and suffering, is to seek balance in all things.

Adherents and priests seek to stop great acts of violence, especially wars, banditry, and other acts of destruction. The Burning Wheel's view of good and evil is not so static or defined as many other religions, with good being seen only in acts that prevent or lessen suffering, and evil being seen only in acts that cause or spread suffering.

The Burning Wheel has no gods. The wheel, and the platonic light and dark are not considered actors on the world stage, but rather as driving forces behind the world itself. As a result, The Burning Wheel is inherently syncretistic with nearly every other religion.

## The Pecking Order

### The Pecking Order

After a majority of the native population went missing, settlers resettled the town and reclaimed much of the ruin that was left in the wake of whatever happened.

It was amazed by it, and fell in love with this land, and so it stayed here. At first, it observed, it watched the land grow and change. It watched it's inhabitants go on by their daily lives. It watched them wage war, and destroy each other. What it respected the most was the dedication of it's people and the hope they had in their hearts. In a certain time, it started communicating to mortals of this realm. In their dreams, in their minds, it revealed itself to them. It taught them of reality, and taught them of hope, dedication and passion, and it told them to spread the word of these wonders, to the whole of this world. A few of them truly understood, and truly did. These prophets travel lands far and wide, spreading the word as the great Spark told them."*

Soleannen is heavily focused around its core guiding principles The Golden Postulates which are well enforced by the Faith and are the principles all Ehrveni (Followers of Soleannen) follow.

1. To worship gods not supported by The Church is blasphemous, for Solaris, The All-Father, and his Cohort, reign above all else. Saints and ancestors alike shall be revered, for they are also a part of his Cohort.

2. To kill another is to deny Solaris's gift of life, and so shall be considered not only a sin, but also a highest blasphemy.

3. To steal from another and to lie to another is to improperly use Solaris's gift of life, and so shall be considered a sin.

4. To muddle or degrade one's mind, be it enmity, excessive drinking or harlotry, is to sway from the All-Father's path, and so shall be considered a sin.

Main article: Soleviel
**Soleviel** is a form of Soleannen that originates from after the Escharien Ascension and with the Reimagination Period, a movement against what its followers perceived to be errors in the Soleannen Clergy and Church.

It secludes Faith and World, opening space for both secularists and religious beliefs to not intervene with each other. It seperates Emperors and Saints from the Church hiearchy, while believing that only good-willed Spirits came back from the Luminarium. They are also more tolerable to ancient-native religions, but still consider theirs superior among others. It can be found throughout the Matterial Plane in both Rathnir (mainly in Nieden) and Eldham.

## Spiritual Pluralism / Syncretism

Main Article: Aysh-Maiyeem Faith

A new school of metaphysical thought in Rathnir is advocated by one Stigma the Seeker of Sanctuary. According to his journeys and observations, all gods, great and small, are all Spirits that go about the cosmos as they please, interacting with the people of Rathnir and Eldham only when they feel like it. By this logic, no one Spirit is technically above any of the others, and since gods are merely Spirits who go by different names, it's perfectly logical to worship one deity while adhereing to the belief of many Spirits.

That being said; adherents of the Spirits Aysh and Maiyeem do tend to prioritize these two over other Spirits.

## Sunkalism

Sunkal is a leader and founder figure of the Temple of Nullarian Philosophy. The native people of the desert in the southern Haven continent, modern day Kingdom of Nullaria, has been worshipping, praising, and following Sunkal's teachings through out the generations since when the Nul people were still alive over a millennia ago. The worshippers agree on everything except for the idenity of their hero, Sunkal. Heated debates occur occasionally when the matter is discussed among them for the origins of Sunkal is unknown and only the teachings and philosophy of Sunkal that have been passed down proves his existance in the past. Alongside the different beliefs of whether Sunkal is actually a god or mortal, man or woman (Sunkal sounds very masculine but is actually a unisex name in Nul), the followers and members of the temple will always remain in harmony to protect and preserve the ancient sacred teachings.

The Celestialists: Those who believe the great Sunkal was a god or a spirit believing Sunkal's words and actions contain the absolute truth about the universe and life. They're idealists and moralists, they follow the book as a religion, Sunkal's teachings are a heavenly moral code for them with hidden knowledge that can only be obtained through mysticism.

The Mortalists: Those who believe the great Sunkal was a mortal hero and philosopher and analyse Sunkal's actions rationally. They are materialists and use Sunkal's philosophy to analyse the world through reasoning and proof of which their ethics derive. They solely believe in achieving enlightenment through the materialistic, observable contents and not the blessings of unseen gods.

**Pax Mendacism** is the belief that Rathnir should be in eternal peace that is kept in check by a world government or society. The ***Mendacists*** believe they should be the government that controls the peace. Although their motives are vague and it is debated whether they truly seek peace or if they have much darker motives.

**Pax Neutrism** is the belief that peace is a subjective. They believe that to have true peace you also need some conflict in the world. If conflict was completely eradicated the world would spiral into disaster and the goal of peace would be utterly destroyed.

*(People in this faith are referred to as Paxists)*

## Coronism

The coronist belief traces its origins back to an ancient land known as Modar, far into the long lost continent known as Grotth. In the coronist belief, the deity known as Coron is the only supreme divine authority that its believers acknowledge. Any heresies have been, as time passed, eradicated, due to the strong extremism and beliefs of its followers original followers, although its young presence into Rathnir may prove otherwise.

Coronism propagates the belief that Coron himself has chosen one Emperor to rule over Modar and, subsequently, all of the world. This Divine-Emperor is known to bear the title of "Jaen-Coron", which roughly translates to Chosen-by-Coron from the Modar language. The prophet praised by all believers was known as Van, who proclaimed himself as the first Jaen-Coron. The priests of the faith are known as "the Botul" and have generally had a word in the official matters of the Kingdom of Modar and also acting as an Inquisitor Authority over the unfaithful regions of Modar. In the reign of Jaen-Coron Calium Farenmer, the authority of the Botul was undermined and he ruled as the sole divine authority of Coron, claiming that he had visions of him ruling the entire world "from Grotth to Elvarion" (Both are faraway lost lands from Rathnir).

This belief was at the core of three great wars known as the Coronist wars, the second one being a successful attempt to defeat the nemesis-realm of the Modar, known as Gon. However, due to large expenses over a huge mercenary army and great casuality costs, the short-lived Second Empire of Modar fell and therefore its penultimate Jaen-Coron, known as Calium Farenmer, was imprisoned and commited suicide. The third Coronist war was the penultimate large-scale conflict in Grotth, which was a precursor to the fall of an ancient world.

The knowledge upon this religion, along with a few others from the forgotten realm of Grotth, has been brought to Rathnir by Zbazan Duradenko, founder of Osundir, through several books brought from Trajistav, one of the few kingdoms that survived the fall of Grotth.

## Enzinism

The Enzinists believe the goddess of sunflowers, Enzi, and follow her virtues.

The told story of Enzi:

In the world of peace, flowers are everywhere, the roses are beautiful yet dangerous; dandelions are pure though they are a little too much. From the dirt, a new kind of flower has born, a kind which was full of passion: the sunflower. The sunflower goddess, Enzi, have come to this beautiful land of Eldham. She is passionate, full of warmth and most of all, beautiful, once even surpass the beauty of roses. This made the rose goddess, Marsevor, angry. She scolds Enzi for a long time, until she found out that Enzi was no harm, that Enzi did not want to be the champion in anything, she just wanted the world to be happy. So Marsevor stopped scolding Enzi, and the world of flowers is merrier than ever. People now know about Enzi, so they built a shrine for her greatness, but just the right size for being a modest goddess.

It is sort of a children's story when it first started in 309 WY (World Year), but soon became a religion for those who wanted to be a good person.

Adventure of the Goddess:

As the religion and the town slowly started, the goddess noticed them. She thought, "staying in one tiny land isn't that good for people though," so she went on an adventure to find bigger land. She came accross countries with different people and religion. Finally she thought, "there are some unfriendly countries in some foriegn land, maybe I should tell them to conquer them and tell them to do nice things." There might be war with other small countries, but we shall see...

Love for the Goddess:

People are passionate to all sunflowers. Only a few selected sunflowers are planted in the middle of the shrine.

Rules:

1.  Every morning followers should silently stand for 10 seconds, to think of the kindness and modestness of the goddess.

2.  Be a modest person and do no harm to others.

3.  If people sabotage/intruders, the priest has the power to ban them from the land. Not to kill, to ban.

Stature of our society:

First came the Priest: having the power to ban intruders and people who sabotage. He is the leader of the society for he (or her) is the closest one to the goddess, meaning he (or her) is most modest. He (or her) should be the person to do the rituals.

Second came Head Guardians: People with a strong leadership who are willing to help the priest in maintaining order of the society. They should listen to the priest, but can point out the wrongs of the priest. There will be 2 head guardians and each of them have an amount of people to manage.

Third came the Guardians: people that came to help head guardians, there will be 4 of them.

Forth came the EnziKnights: the protectors and fighters of the town.

Last came the Enzinists : people who do most of the work and listen to guardians, the priest, and the EnziKnights.

Last came Visitors: traveller who just came to get food and resources. They will be blessed and should keep going on.

Remember: all humans are the same, we are not noble nor are we humble.

1. The Rituals: The sacrifice has been set, people should gather around it holding sunflowers, and throw them in the air. Then the priest would come and bow three times. Then, people would go to the church and listen to the priest. There will be feast and games such as the wrestling contest, where players brawl with bare hands, with the arena being 4\*4 blocks big, players are meant to push one another out of the arena, the winner gets a reward from the preist. This could be taken as a happy festival, and the exact time of it should be told by the priest. This religion was started by bench guy

## Ars Machina

The followers of the Ars Machina or as some know it "Deus ex Machina".

The structure of this religion presents itself as somewhat of an anti-religion. Those who follow the faith swear off the worship of all other supposed "divine" beings in favor of a singular focus on the Great Machine. That being said they do not worship their own "god". Not in the way most would expect. Instead of providing sacrifices and offerings the followers of Ars Machina build great works of machinery. It is believed that every machine created brings the rebirth of the Great Machine ever closer.

Believers in Ars Machina believe that all other gods are fakes. To back up this claim they highlight the often greedy nature of the "gods" in their demands of sacrifice and ritual. In the mind of a follower of Ars Machina this is all a farce for false "gods". Only the Great Machine can bring peace and a prosperous unitedness. Of course they believe that should this come to pass then all other "gods" and "divine" beings would be destroyed by the mechanical truth.

Redstone is the backbone of the faith. Literally the blood of their supposed creator the Great Machine that once created all things. This Great Machine is said to have been taken apart by arrogant fools who thought to control the Machine's power. In its death its blood poured across the land and became buried under the earth. But it can still be found and the followers of Ars Machina believe that once enough of this blood has been put to use in the construction of great works then the Great Machine will return.

## **Esemplastia**

Genesis was when the sleeping god first closed her eyes on her Devine realm. The world unfolding, born into this world, were the people of Rathnir. Though our worship and devotion, we hope to keep the goddess in a state of pleasant dreams. Though the goddess sleeps, she is aware to a degree, able to feel the world and everything in it through the natural world. Connected via the earth and plants. The overworld her dream, the nether her nightmares. Balance with nature is an utmost priority, for if the goddess should ever stir too much in her slumber she may awaken and that would be the end of our world.

## Maws Of The Devourer

In the end there was nothing. In the beginning there was Rathnir. In the middle there was kobolds. In the void there was The Devourer .

Expect nothing, give everything.

Destroy all, recive nothing.

Everything must fall, hail the devourer.

None are spared, all hail the terror.

Followers are known to speak Korcan. It is said that their temple can be found near Velaria in the abandonded mines.

## Dyplegrýtu

Main article: Dyplegrýtu
Dyplegrýtu, roughly translating to "Double Greatness" in modern traveler's tongue is a religion practiced in various places throughout the end. The religion centers around two deities, collectively known as "The Greats". These are The Great Chaos, and The Great Order. The Greats are believed to not just be gods, but also fundamental forces found throughout the universe. The deities and such of other religions are each either an aspect of one of the Greats, or a mortal, albeit powerful, creature. Both deities want everyone to live their best lives, but they try to achieve that in different ways, which leads to conflict. Followers of Dyplegrýtu also believe that realms such as Rathnir, The Nether, and The End, are some of the countless dimensions connected by a single realm, known as the "Between".

## Teizmus

Teizmus is a very common religion amongst the Slavien people. The religion is about worshipping one God Jaziš which is the center of the religion. People of this religion believe that after death they will meet with Jažiš in the Afterworld where it will be decided if he is allowed to stay in the Afterworld or fall into the void and suffer for the rest of eternity. This religion also doesn't allow it's followers to kill or eat sheep. If you suffer in life you have higher chance of living in the Afterworld.

## Cult of the Falling Skies

A Sage warned of a god who would eventually cause the sky to collapse and fall onto the earth. The Sage showed visions of oblivion where the sky would fall, and showed visions of The Sky Pillars which protected the world from the falling sky.

The Sage did not give their name or the god's ,this was a test of faith. For those who constructed The Sky Pillars and believed The Sage, would be safe from the falling skies. Those who remained ignorant or those who refused the contruction of The Sky Pillars would be destroyed. The god's name did not matter only the pillars mattered. The Sage's name did not matter, only the protection the pillars gave mattered. As The Sky Pillars are constructed those who build them should not share their name, the ones who witness a Sky Pillars contruction should not speak the builders name, but should instead take up materials and build their own Pillars . This is a test of faith, there is no glory to be had, no fame, only the protection The Sky Pillars give. That is the sacrifice of those who contruct The Pillars. As they are humble builders now, But when the sky falls they will be free and see the beauty in their new world, broken sky and all. That is the reward the builders and those they protected will receive.

The Sage gave instuctions to build a Sky Pillar. First, there should be no wood in The Pillars only materials that are found underground, these materials can be made into bricks as long as they are solid and aren't wood. Second, a Sky Pillar should be at least 32 meters above the ground. Thirdly, The Size of a Sky Pillar is at minimum 7x7x32 this size can be increased only with multiples of 7 and 32 (ex: A pillar of 14x14x64 can be contructed, but not 15x15x67). The pillars cannot be hallow, they are meant to be solid. A rune of protection must be placed with stone brick slabs at the top of The Pillar, surround this rune with stone slabs and place water in the middle of the rune's "triangle". With the ritual completed the area that the pillar is contructed in or around will be protected when the sky falls. There will be no protection if The Sky Pillar is destroyed, The Sky Pillars can be constructed around, but not on top of.

The Sky Pillars give divine protection against falling skies.

## **Luthurn faith**

Luthurn is the belief in Lutherius. It is the worship of divine bloodlines.

## The Cult of The Three Eyes

Thirteen thousand years ago the incarnation of chaos, was sent into the land of rathnir to assess judment on those deemed worthy of "The Mark." after hudreds of year of searching, a candidate was found, their name, varron of the snow, a being from beyond the veil; varron was a natural born warlock drawing their powers from the eldricht entity known only as igreus ("y-grey-ooh-s"). the all be it young man took a liking to the chaos god and as too did the god, the incarnate of chaos bestowed him the mark of the eye, but something was wrong, something terribly cataclismic had happened; the three eyes was born. roman numerals etched into his chest in scar material. when the mark of chaos is bestowed it is either a one, a two, a five, or a ten, not a single three has ever been bestowed previous to this encounter, and it's existance is in itself a product of the mark. while the mark itself cannot choose whether it is assigned a number, the mark does favor more stable individuals to that of a one or a five, whether the dark influence of igreus was the cause of the mark taking the form of a three or pure coincidence, from that day on a legacy wou;d unfold rivaling that of myth and legend and tell us the story of the three eyed demon we hunt to this day.

With the birth of the three eyes came a darkness lasting fifty seven years caking the east land of the untamed wild eldham, and with the birth of this monstrosity rose the entity igreus, siphoning energy from the three eyes and puppeteering his body, the eldricht horror burnt ancient cities to ash and waited until the time to be right, but all was not well, a new candidate was born just as the great darkness lifted, and with that the rise of orgon had begun, the young boy a natrual born warlock, with power shrowded in mystery fueled by scourge within his body. after 12 years word had gotten around about the now adolecent boy with a power rivaling the much feared varron. upon hearing this varron traveled to the birthplace of the young boy, beyond the curtain, in the land of Priskel y'von where monsters of leged roamed, dragons, the undead, ghosts made of tainted flesh, and living stone. upon his arrival there was silence except for the light buzzing of the mystical lamps peppering the road to *that fountain*. the puppeteered varron spoke to the yound orgon.

> "what are you young magician, a deciple of chaos, a child who stumbled upon a magic book, or simply a boy pretending?"
>
>
> "i am orgon of this village hidden behind that world's border, a scorcerer born of jarnen my father and ordi my mother, both killed by the demon in the mist after my birth, whether it was divine intervention or pure luck the monster hunting my parents spared my life uttering the words, show him no mercy, im starting to understand what that thing meant. i've observed your actions, and would like to settle this peacfully, but to say i wouldn't wanna beat your ass if you crossed me would be a lie."
>
>
> "a cocky one you are, i am igreus, king of darkness, heart of the void, i am death incarnate, i am an original, i predate your heretics, your good for nothing heros who can at there best give a child a magic sword or a rock. i am a god, i am an original, i saw creation unfold before i was supposed to be born, and i saw the terrible monstrosities that came before the existance of the idea of nothing. you think you can kill me. to think i thought of you as a worthy opponent, you're nothing more than pawn, to be played in a game of "their" creation."
>
>
>
> "and to think you were something, all talk, all this bullshit about being one of the originals, i read the texts on you, i know what you are. you godforsaken PARASITE"
>
>

upon the last word being uttered varron who will now be reffered to as igreus lunged towards orgon slashing at his stomach ripping his shirt and revealing the scabs underneathe

> "oh i get it now, you're running on borrowed time, you weren't even supposed to be born"
>
>
> "shut it you bastard"
>
>
>
> "thats why you fight, its been hard coded into you, you may be this puppets downfall but one day i will return and kill you, you husk."
>
>

and with that igrues's puppets neck had been snapped and the body dissolved in the air into a clump of ash, now purely silent, the town devoid of the so called life that would have been there, with a truth learned, orgon was truly a pawn. by being a so called pawn his aactions are vaguely decided in an ancient relic known by few as *the book*, it lacks any origin simply existing. while orgon does have free will, certain actions are enstilled into him in such a way that no matter how concious or aware of his destiny and no matter how hard he tries to resist, he will never be able to not do what has been written.

orgon is a member of the group going by the alias "the cult the three eyes", were the entire mission of the cult is to find and kill candidates for the three eyes. the members of this group are called hunters and although being called a cult, the members have named this so called order "The Crucible." the crucible can have a realistical infinite amount of people in it lacking a size limit but things need to be noted when joining, a rule set must be followed in order to be an acting member:

* an entrance fee of one thousand dollars to the vault in gold bars.
* your name signed in a book confirming you condone the actions of the crucible as a safe measure against persecution.
* cutting ties with any religions, or religious groups.
* the sacrifice of an item of importance to the vault.
* admission and acceptance of the crucible
* and the promise to not accept the untrusted into its walls.
* and lastly members of the crucible are to denounce the cult of the three eyes, and join full time in the crucible to prevent the three eye from potentially awakening.

the crucible does infact praise a god of their own, that being orgamestch. orgamestch pronounced org-uh-meh-sch, is a dark god, a body made of foggy calcite, large pastel blue cover an opening in the chest and obscure it while clouds orbit it, thorny vines and branches wrap the pecs and upper backs connecting to the flowers, the head made of a similar calcite to the body with small holes for eyes, a nose, a large brow, and no mouth. in the hole within the center of its chest is a metalic equalateral diamond with a steel circle containg an ever changing glowing rune. the god itself lives atop the monument, a massive structure just outside the border overlooking the center of the world, the monument is made of the raised and heightened terrain past the clouds while he sits in a thrown made of an unbreakable mettalic substance.

if you wish to practice the ways of the cult of the three eyes and prepare or pay omage to the warriors who hope to kill igreus you can set up one of several structures:

### the altar: a large platform ordained with an alter to the hunters

a grid of polished smooth stone flush with the ground, 15by15

4 oak log supports 3 blocks tall, with spruce fences connecting them 2 blocks tall, and on the third block upsidown spruce stairs

the flooring is spruce wood, with 3 small pedastools and a 3x3 stone table made of slabs and blocks in the corners, with a 2 wide brick staircase.

there ar armor stands on the 3 pedastools wearing the gear of the original hunters and behind them pillars of obsidian with unlit anchors on them

### The Monolith: a large basalt column on raised earth with a small copper fountain.

a raised portion pf land from either 6 to 16 blocks above dirt, it is 7by7 blocks wide and contains 1 internal part being a dispenser which turns on the fountain.

the basalt pillar is made of smooth basalt and regular basalt pillars, being any height between 10 and 30 blocks tall with a base thats 3by3

the fountain needs to be made of oxidized copper but can be any shape desired.

### The sacrificial pit: a wood and stone platform with a fire pit used for sacrifices

a large wooden and stone structure acting as an offering platform to sacrifice to the god of the hunters orgamestch

it is 13by 13 blocks of stone with a one thick outer wall stretching its dimesnions to 15by15, there are oak log columns in varrying sizes ending in bark, and cobblestone walls, the inner platform contains a lowered 5by5 portion where a smithing table outline with a magma block center creates the ambiance of a fire pit. the pit is to be lit for sacrifices and is to be built on flat ground.

## **Cult of the 7th dawn**

the cult of the 7th sun was started by castabran the eye of dawn and the avitar of anvar sent by his father urtanus to start the dawn crusade and unite rathnir under the eye of urtanus

##### Alters of worship

the common alter of the dawn is a 2x2 square of glowstone suronded by li

## **Khaeloseni**

As of yet, it is believed that Khaeloseni has no more worshippers, though there may be a few still out there.

### Khaelosen Gods

Khaeloseni people worship Külos (god of nightfall and sunrise), Aeimös (god of weapons, tools and mankind), Ako (god of the world and the afterlife), Ackēn (god of behaviour and formality) and Ēsen (god of nature, metal and the universe).

### The Creation

Külos (god of nightfall and sunrise), Aeimös (god of weapons, tools and mankind), Ako (god of the world and the afterlife), Ackēn (god of behaviour and formality) and Ēsen (god of nature, metal and the universe) were all born an infinite time ago, reliving every moment ever, past, future and present in an infinite loop. They were born when the River of Souls (ut Areben Söxzönnei) flooded and five never-ending streams split out of it. These five streams became our five gods (or Len). Our gods take no form nor gender and live out every moment from every perspective being past, future or present. These gods forged the Celen, the minor gods fitting every purpose possible. If it is alive in the consciousness of anything, it is a Celen. A human may talk about ‘Kulo’, a Celen of discovery and he may have taken that from his own mind but still, ‘Kulo’ exists. An infinite space similar to that of Rathnir though every infinitely small space is size infinity houses the Celen. They can cross it but if a human was ever to exist there, they would walk forever while still at that same location. We learnt this through the Book of Telling (ut Bē Kanvertnnei) that Ako wrote and brought to us those infinite years ago. We worship these gods through our minds to the void at a Khaelosen Temple where our thoughts and prayers are channelled and amplified. Our gods are forever trapped here, everywhere and nowhere; now, at every time and never. They see everything through a nonexistent eye.

### Khaelosen Temple

A Khaelosen Temple is a structure that us (Khaelosen) use to connect to our gods. A Temple has 1+ large prayer rooms and a single shrine in a chamber at the top of the temple. A Temple could also have many other rooms including a classroom for children to learn Bulk (the Khaelosen language)(or Bølke in the language) or a drafting room. A Khaelosen Temple must also have an Altar with a flame lit inside it for worshipping in the absolute centre of the temple. The most common shapes for Temples are pyramid-shaped or T-shaped, though no shape is absolutely compulsory and no shape is rejected (take, for example, the Khaelosen Temple to be built in Suderen- it has a pyramid shaped base in the middle, though Notre Dame style towers connect the other parts of the Temple.)

### Khaelosen Symbols/Colours

The colours of Khaeloseni are green and orange and are often displayed on temples as well as being incorporated into the flag and religious clothing, etc.

Khaeloseni has an unlucky colour and a lucky colour (purple and dark green respectively)

Next to this paragraph there is the Khaelosen Flag (top) and the Khaelos (bottom, the Khaelosen symbol - like the Star of David)

### Pledging into Khaeloseni

Khaeloseni has certain conditions on which you must follow to be accepted as Khaelosen.

Thy must worship Kalos to bring us nightfall and sunrise, Aeimos to advance us, Ako to bring us existence and deletion, Acken to bring us formality and emotion and Ersen to bring us Flora, Fauna and all nature.

Thy must pledge their allegiance to the Khaelosen religion.

Thy must pledge an oath to fight for Khaeloseni and their families.

Thy must protect and trust.

You must follow these and pledge your oaths to a Celeas.

### Statuses

When you become Khaelosen you will instantly become a Khaelon (member of the Khaeloseni religion).

If you contribute to Khaeloseni in ways like: Introducing Khaeloseni to your town/nation; Building a temple; etc., you will be awarded the rank of Külos. Küloszö (plural of Külos) have the permission to vote on Khaelosen decisions in your nation/town.

Celeaszö (Plural of Celeas) are similar to a Sikh Guru as to the fact that they essentially run the Temple and they are chosen by the Supreme Celeaszö.

The Supreme Celeaszö are members of the Khaelosen Supremacy Counsil (it consists of Prophets, Supreme Celeaszö and Celuszö (Plural of Celus). They are in charge of the Celeaszö and they vote on all of the decisions of the Khaeloseni religion. Each Supreme Celeas is in charge of a region of the Khaeloseni religion (eg: Kingdom of Counsils or cities/towns in it)

The Prophets are divine people who have talked to the gods or sent messages from them. They are also in the KSC (Khaelosen Supremacy Counsil). They have all of the rights of Celeaszö and are in charge of the larger Khaelosen regions.

The two Celuszö are in charge of the whole religion and the most important members of the KSC.

#### Religious Crossovers

As a Khaelon you are also permitted to be a member of any other religion, provided that you still take part in at least 1/3 of the worshipping and that you consult a Celeas.

### Drafting

Many Khaelonzö take place in the art of drafting- a way to connect with your spirits or the spirits of loved ones. You can do this in any way that suits you but the most popular form of drafting is by creating art and then throwing it into the shrine pit of the temple you worship at.

### Beliefs

Khaelonzö believe in five gods (see first paragraph for more).

They believe that after life your soul is weighed and it is lighter with the more good you do. Depending on what lifestyle you had and how light your soul is, you can go to 16 nameless afterlives. Most families are sorted into afterlives but if there is an outlier in a family, that person goes to a different afterlife.

#### Ethics

Khaelonzö think that living a good life is treating other people well, working hard, having good intentions, worshipping your gods as much and well as possible and, most importanly, understanding other people and their different cultures and views on life.

### Religious practices

#### Praying/Worshipping

There are many ways to worship the Khaelosen gods- one of the most popular ones is by praying. You can do this in one of the large prayer rooms at the temple you worship at. Crouch down on the floor and close your eyes and then think your prayer while repeating "Et Lenzö halst" (it means 'I hail gods'). Another way to worship is to place candles at the shrine or to throw a piece of paper with the names of the gods (that you are worshipping) and/or a prayer/statement written on it into the flames of the altar.

#### Rituals/Festivals

##### The Fall

Every 100 days there is the Fall ritual. Everyone gathers in their temples and begin to pray to the gods. When they need to eat, they finish praying, walk to the edge of the prayer room (where there is always food to keep people from starving) and eat what they need to eat. They then go back to praying. The Celeaszö of the temples will hear from the Prophets of when the ritual ends.

##### The Moon

After the Fall, there is a 25 day fast where the Khaelonzö are only allowed to eat after the sun goes down. They may go hungry but may not eat to prove their allegiance to Khaeloseni.

### Religious Clothing

Khaelons often wear religious clothing. Religious clothing is hand-stitched or weaved clothing that has large, rugged fringes and often has different strings and charms coming off of it. Religious clothing has to also be at least fifty percent orange and green, though these colours may be paler than usual.

## Children of the Ancient

**Children of the Ancient** is the belief that many entities created all that existed before other sentient beings were born, these entities are sentient themselves and their minds work like our ones would (They can be selfish, feel emotions, etc...)

### Origins

This belief was born once *Krentell* became a Living Armour, the reason is that she began to believe that *Biekulth, The Insatiable One* was one of these "Ancients".

### Ancients (Deities)

There are many deities in this belief, each with their own role, each with their own relationships, each with their own alignment. They stay in an otherworldly place called "The Realm". Only *Krentell* appears to know how it looks like.

#### Vhuk, The Builder

Vhuk is the first entity to be born, he is the creator of the world and natural elements. Vhuk is the most peaceful and powerful entity. As of today, he lies dormant somewhere in Rathnir/Eldham. They appear to be an earth golem with around 75.40m in height.

#### Biekulth, The Insatiable One

The Ancient that killed *Krentell*, Biekulth is the one that created the sense of hunger, the one that reminds our bodies to consume; the one that always wants to eat. He appears to be a dark red dragon with around 27.13m in height.

#### Vyxor, One With Flames

The Ancient that is fire itself, they usurped some of Vhuk's power to be able to control something, seeing as they were an Ancient born with no power, they always crave for more now. They appear to be literal fire, with around 2.73 in height.

#### Ezzueh, The Dark

The last to rise, Ezzueh embodies the dark, shadows, monsters and the dead. She is the one that guides us to Dysland, the world of graves. She appears to be a wraith with around 3.21m in height.

#### The Unknown

Some, if not most, Ancients have not yet shown themselves, or don't exist at all. This information is at the mercy of *Krentell*'s insane- Insightful mind.

### Practices

#### Rituals

This belief has a ritual bound to appease each Ancient.

##### The Rise

In this ritual, the participants build a tall monolith to represent Vhuk, any flammable material can be used.

##### The Feast

## The Great Pantheon

Followed by members of the Vitrimian Order.

**Liber Cycli Immortalis:** The Holy Book of The Great Pantheon.

"Chapter 1: Verse 1: 1.1 In the first year, the first in the new cycle, as all cycles have begun before our own, Vitrimis the Over Deity of the Void, creator and destroyer, The Cyclical Being, awoke. In the nothingness of Her existence, Vitrimis breathed life into Her Void and created twenty seven children. These children became known as The Great Pantheon. These children of Vitrimis would grow to be the world."

**The Banner of the Great Pantheon:** This banner is used to represent the careful balance brought by the struggle of Sobi, Titan of the Day Sky, and Odino, Titan of the Night Sky.

"Chapter 1: Verse 2: 2.1 The first of her children, child of Vitrimis, Sobi, Titan of the Day Sky, was born of what warmth Vitrimis felt in Her awakening. He shined of brilliant golden light, blinding out the surrounding darkness, and bringing warmth, life, and energy to the new cycle.

The second of Her children, child of Vitrimis, Odino, Titan of the Night Sky and Keeper of Souls, was born of the gentleness and temperence Vitrimis felt for Her creations. She shimmered a soft silver, and was cloaked in the darkness of Vimitris's Void, a keeper of Vitrimis's creations so that they would not be lost in the brilliance of her brother's light."

## Obaism

Obaism is a somewhat unknown religion on Rathnir, their followers worship an all-knowing maroon coloured god named Obaia. Several holy books written by devoted followers account the journey of two ancient players named: *GoldenArrow102* and *Pixelandshadow* and their experiences with Obaia. These two players would later be known as maytrs amongst followers.

### First contact

The first chapter of all holy books begin with Aishona and Piaco wandering through a desert, then standing infront of Obaia.

Taken directly from a holy book:

*1: The start*

*In a time long before the server of Rathnir, the planet was a baren endless, nightless desert. Flat sand landscape stretched on forever. There was no water or trees or cows, just groups of players fighting over raw rabbit and cacti. One day, two ancient humans known as Aishona and Piaco were wandering together when suddenly the skies lit on fire. A maroon colored being appeared in front of the two men and spoke to them in a thundering voice.*

*"I am tired of this land." it said. "A new world must be created for balance to exist."*

*It stretched out it's arms and the skies flashed with color as new beings and blocks bred into exsistance.*

*After that, the god spoke the only words ever recorded in god tongue: Wahah. An oasis then was created where these players stood, and the entity introduced himself as Obaia.*

*"I am Obaia, the god of balance." He shouted "You are the most kind souls to exsist. And therefor, you must become the new balance."*

### Aishona and Piaco

Not much is known about the two first Obaists, except their names ofcourse. But they always serve as an integrel part of it's beleif system.

Taken from a holy book:

*2: The new balance*

*Obaia explained to the slighty scared players that he was boerd of the desert he and his brother had created. And now shall  rebirth this world into a lush paradise. Ofcourse, some of the desert must stay to remind humanity of it's past, but mostly a lush, balanced paradise. These two players must now become the gods of light and dark, so that even our skies shall be perfectly balanced between these two oposites. The players agreed, and with that a golden age of players sprung into the server. For awhile Aishona and Piaco tried living in Wahah, the Oasis Obaia had granted them, but spent most of their time keeping peace (and sometimes war every now and then) in the new world. Eventually, they both stopped for an unknown reason and now rest in the sky, constantly reminding us of Obaia's presence.*

### The Aftermath

After the events of the second chapter, Aishona and Piaco became the gods of light and dark, helping around on the first Rathnir server, but eventually retreating to the sky after it was destroyed. A few dedicated members stayed behind, and fostered the religion until now.

After years of seclusion on the server, Obaia has now through prophets and intervention told the followers to spread this religion across ther server, and bring balance once more.

### Rules

Eating beetroot is FORBIDEN to be eaten, as it is the same colour Obaia is said to be.

Chisled red sandstone is sacred, as this is the block Obaia came to Rathnir on.

Beware of wither roses, they are the plant of Zlexy and greed

### Zlexy

Not much is known about the god of greed Zlexy. Except that his teachings of greed and self-servance will only lead your soul to disastisfaction and torment. Any true Obaist Should reject these ways and lead a life of sacrafise and selflessness.

## Notchism

The belief in the real creator of worlds, (Notch in rp is a mysterious god, unlike real life where much is known about him), It is believed that the creator of the world is one and that he the holy Markus Notch created the world on his own, His realm cannot be reached but can only be imagined, it is known as the realm of Mojang.

Believers follow the practice that every block is holy but is meant to be used, everything has meaning and that the believers must use whatever they have to spread the truth back into the lands that Notch has created, This is an evengelical religion and we dissaprove of others who do not follow the way of Notch and see them as "lost",

We believe in the story that a long time ago in a much simpler land the first peoples were believers in Notch and knew of him even personally, but as time went on sin broke in as meaning was lost, Notch was forgotten by many as other religions were brought up, We believe solemly that Notchism is an ancient religion connected to the creation of the universe of Blocks.

We believe that the first peoples came in the form of Steve and Alex, from them a world was born, Steve and Alex were directly created by Notch and were the children of Notch meaning that the world has grown out of Incest, This means all people in the universe are related to each other and are descendants of Notch, This family however is divided, And Notch has given total permision to set others straight whether it be through peacful preaching, Or War!

### Practices:

We believers in Notchism have some very simple set practices:

We are allowed to use or kill anything in our world for Notch has granted us the permission to do it

We build statues of Notch and offer sacrifices

We never allow anyone to imitate Steve or Alex as they are considered Holy, if anyone does imitate them and are disrespectful Notch has given the order to his people to kill them!

We never dig down

### Prophecies

The great universe has mainly forgotten its creator, However it is believed that if he is once again remembered and all people pursure their inner meaning and give in total submission to Notch we will be granted eternal wealth and wellbeing aswell as the possibility for endless glory in a mysterious realm called "The End" where a believer will kill a dragon marking the end of times.

At the end of times a new world will emerge and all blocks shall lose their edges, The Monsters will die, and all will be at peace

### Politics

The first modern day believers of Notchism started in the nation of Anglunia, The First Modern Believer is \_Bonzi who was enlightened when he found a mysterious book of poems in a cave which he later published, This book of poems reffered to a wider world outside of Eldham in a universe called Minecraft and it showed the simple beauty it held. Modern believers are known as reverts as they are reverting to the ancient religion of their ancestors. From here as of now the religion is pretty lowkey however from a shooting star at the first prayer it is predicted that this religion will spread through out Anglunia and into the wider world of Eldham. The religion follows the culture of Anglunia.

## Faith of Phazs

*"As the Phazs follows with the night, all the land the shadow of the moon grasps shall now belong to the Phazs, and only the Phazs."* -Expia, The Founder.

The Faith of the Phazs is derived from those seeing great visions in the night. The only living human to have seen the vision is The Founder, Expia. The vision is said to be a one time "dream" that will remain in ones memories for the rest of their life. Those who have these visions are said to be chosen by the Phazs, and are therefore given very high ranking roles within the Faith.

The Phazs are said to have multiple gods, and while only three are known, there is said to be a chosen god for every chosen person. This god will remain loyal to its chosen servant, and its name will only be known by the servant.

Only those who have a god may tell others the name of their god. If someone were to tell the secrets of their god to those who have not been chosen, it is said that they will be cursed by an eternal hell.

The hell that the chosen servant goes through is under control by their god, with the most cruel of gods forcing his servant to forever live immobilized in an infinity of lava.

Those who abide by their god will be given great wisdom and may even understand the history of the world itself. These gods fall into multiple types.

**God of Creation**

Those chosen by a God of Creation are said to be the leaders of the faith, and are given an infinite knowlegde on everything.

**God of Destruction**

Those chosen by a God of Destruction will never believe in thier blessing, and will forever be against the Faith. Non-believers of the faith are said to be the spawn of the God of Destruction.

**God of Light**

Those Chosen by a God of Light are said to be blessed by a never-ending optimism. This optimism may lead to the servants downfall, however, it is said to be one of the greatest blessings to those who are weak-willed.

These three types are currently the only discovered types of gods. As this Faith is still very new and growing by the god's will, further information is secret and very limited. It is believed that there will only be seven types of gods, however, based on the size of those needing to be saved, this may change.

## Spudhism

#### Origin

Spudhism began humbly, in a small town known for potato farming and a form of proto-blues music. This town was ancient however, and known as Teborte [Between two waters][Directly: Water between Water]. The Spudhist faith formed in a far off land from Rathnir known as Civwar, solely in the town of Teborte of the Zen Nation in late 2017, when after a long war between several nations, the land surrounding the town lay destitute. A famine, or what should have been a famine set in, except it didn't. Despite the constant attacks, lootings, etc. the population was far from starved, being able to harvest inordinate amounts of potatoes from its single small farm within the town's walls, despite a lack of fertilizer (bonemeal). Through a series of extremely high-yield harvests, the town prevailed. Come the end of the war, the townsfolk chalked up their success to an otherworldly power, so creating Spudhism, named to honor the spud; that which made their survival possible through their God. Now as believers of this faith migrate into the reaches of the universe, Rathnir has managed to catch a few.

#### Beliefs

Spudhism is monotheistic, however no name is given to the God they worship. The God may sit in a pantheon of other gods; it is not known. When considering this, their God is often called the God of humility. The God is sometimes called Spuddha, but this is typically used by non-believers to describe the faith. The Spudhist faith is not organized and does not worship the potato, nor does it necessarily worship the God they believe saved them. Rather, it is simply centered around a few principles. The core belief of Spudhism is humility. Spudhists strive to be humble above all else, to drop their pride when necessary, and to be neighborly and reliable, yet cultivate their own garden. Their humility extends to not claiming to know the name for their God, assuming the "God of Humility" even has a name. They know their God is humble enough to know the people need not worship him. He does not seek sacrifices or repayment. Simply his people embodying his principles is payment enough.

#### Relics

While some sects over time have created various relics and "holy" items, the majority of the faith does not recognize these. The most notable was the Holy Potato, a potato preserved as one of the original potatoes harvested during the war that plagued Teborte. One thing that many of the faith can agree on is the unholiness of the poisoness potato. They perceive it as a corruption of the thing that saved them, the humble potato, therefore a poisoness one is seen as the opposite of humble.

#### Demographics

The Spudhists migrate quite often. This is mainly due to their history of percecution by those known as Moosists and there lack of a central body. A small migratory group of Spudhists, upon arriving in the land of Rathnir, found themselves settled in the town of Voskovy some time before 2022. After living there for a good while, they left in late February, heading west. They traveled into Ummarnu, reaching the western shore of the mesa and then continued south.

## Eoism

Eoism is a religion worshipping the gods of balance. Each representing a path you can take in life. Creation represented by Makaar. Preservation represented by Koshmir. And destruction represented by Hykkiyah. It is an ancient religion which has been preserved and lead by player "Jessilee123."

Genesis of the Divine Connection: *In the early days of block manipulation, players began to notice something profound—their creations held more than aesthetic significance. There was an intangible essence infused within each structure, as if the pixels themselves resonated with the intentions of the builders. This realization marked the inception of a faith that would later be known as Eoism.*

Prophets of the Stone: *As Eoism's principles solidified, certain individuals emerged as beacons of inspiration—prophets who seemed to commune with the very deities they revered. These prophets were builders whose creations transcended the pixelated landscape, embodying the essence of the three gods. Their names became synonymous with mastery and devotion.*

The Trinity of Divine Artistry: *Eoism's pantheon comprises three deities—Hykkiyah, Koshmir, and Makaar—each representing a facet of creation and the builder's journey.*

* Hykkiyah, the Architect of Order: *Amidst fiery deserts and beneath the radiant sun, Hykkiyah's presence is felt. This deity is the embodiment of precision and order. Builders invoke Hykkiyah's name when crafting meticulous structures, channeling his divine mastery to ensure the stability of their creations.*
* Koshmir, the Spirit of Balance: *Koshmir's realm is one of frozen tundras and tranquil waters. This deity is a guardian of harmony, emphasizing the delicate balance between human creation and the natural world. Devotees of Koshmir seek to blend their craft with the landscape, evoking the spirit of equilibrium.*
* Makaar, the Forge of Creation: *Within the depths of lush valleys and amidst vibrant foliage, Makaar's essence thrives. This deity embodies the fervor of creation, encouraging builders to infuse their works with life and emotion. Those who honor Makaar yearn to craft not just structures, but stories.*

The Reverence of Jessilee123: *Amidst the tapestry of Eoism's history, one name shines—Jessilee123. A builder of unparalleled vision and artistry, Jessilee123's creations seemed to channel the gods' essence themselves. Their cathedrals and shrines were not mere structures; they were gateways to the divine, inspiring awe and reverence among the faithful.*

The Pinnacle of Unity: *Eoism reached its zenith with the First Great Gathering—an epochal event where believers congregated. In a virtual valley, Jessilee123 stood as an exemplar, a conduit between the creators and the divine. It was here that the Stoneworks Creed, the core philosophy of Eoism, was forged—emphasizing craftsmanship, balance, and the intertwining of creativity and devotion.*

The Stoneworks Creed: *The Creed became the unifying thread that bound Eoists across the pixelated realms. It stressed the importance of honoring the principles of Hykkiyah, emulating the equilibrium of Koshmir, and infusing creations with the spirit of Makaar. Every block placed was a testament to the connection between builder and deity.*

Legacy of Devotion: *The legacy of Eoism is etched in the landscapes shaped by its adherents. The quiet contemplation amidst majestic structures, the whispered affirmations of reverence for each block, and the profound bond between player and pixel—all echo the teachings of the Stoneworks Religion.*

Conclusion: *Eoism's story, a chronicle of unity, reverence, and creative devotion, lives on within the tapestry of the virtual realm. The gods' presence remains subtly interwoven, guiding the hands of builders as they shape and craft. With Jessilee123 as their beacon, Eoists have forged a legacy that defies the pixels and code—a testament to the power of imagination, artistry, and spiritual connection within the realm of Minecraft.*
