Garlicism

**Garlicism**, also known as the Holy Church of Garlic, was a Religion in Eldham founded by the player and former Grand Prophet of Garlicism, Driftyarcher123. The Temple of the Garlicist was scheduled to be built in Merova. Garlicism was frequently advertised in the Eldham Chat. Common things said by the Grand Prophet in chat were, "Garlic Bread Solos," and, "PRAISE GARLIC!"

Garlicism worshiped the Garlic King, a mystical, spiritual being. Garlicism's main way of proselytizing is through chat, mainly by Grand Prophet Driftyarcher123, who claimed to be a messenger sent straight from the Heavens. The Garlic King is known to not meddle in the affairs of players, as he believes that they are below him. So, he sends Grand Prophets to do it for him

## Beliefs

### Creation myth

Garlicists believe that the universe was once a void, but The Garlic King decided he was hungry. He conjured up a loaf of Garlic Bread, and immediately fell in love. The King conjured up a massive ball of Garlic Bread, and called it Paxia. He experimented with it, accidently creating players. After only months, he destroyed the planet it by eating it.

The next planet he created was Jagdas. Jagdas was created from a crumb that fell from his garlic bread. He decided to give players a chance on Jagdas, but he also decided that if the players didn't worship him, he would also eat it. After many years, great civilizations formed, but none of them worshipped the Garlic King. So, he sprinkled some garlic on Jagdas and ate it.

After a couple of days, he was bored, so he created Rathnir. He felt guilty about destroying Paxia and Jagdas, so he promised himself to not do it again. After many years of civilization, no one on Rathnir had even heard of him. Instead of destroying the planet, he simply waited, he thought they would eventually worship him. But after waiting many long years, he decided to take a break from the universe to brainstorm ideas.

It took him weeks, but the Garlic King thought of Eldham. Sadly, after years of the great kingdoms of Eldham coming and going, no one praised him. The Garlic King decided to send down a prophet. On February 3rd, 2022, Player Driftyarcher123 spawned into the world of Eldham, but it took him until August 4th to realize that he was the Grand Prophet sent from the Heavens. He spreads the word through chat.

### Garlic King

Garlicists believe that the Garlic King is Omniscient and Omnipotent. He can create anything he wants. It is believed that he told The Grand Prophet to teach others to be, "kind to others, but to smite down heathens", "to be peaceful, except when attacked," and, "To give away, but not to the ones who do not need it."

It is believed he is always surrounded by hundreds of Garlic Angels, the most known of which are his personal bodyguards Alliumus and Chesnok.

The Garlic King's arch-nemesis is Aurkakoa, King of Baratxuri Lurra (English: No-garlicland). Aurkakoa tries all that he can to destroy garlic. He pops them in half, and commits other atrocities. Worst of the all, Aurkakoa sits on Garlic Bread!

#### End of Time

Garlicists believe that when nobody worships The Garlic King, he will sweep through Eldham, before going to Rathnir, and finally Kylorne. He will wipe the slate clean and create a new canvas. He will come in shining garlic armor wielding Skordispathi (English: The Garlic Sword). He will declare himself Imperator Omnium Rerum (Emperor of All Things), before going back to just eating Garlic Bread.
