Inum

*Inum'*, originally known as "In Unum," stands as the cornerstone of faith within Edivandic. This religion weaves its influence throughout the lives of the populace, transcending boundaries even when individuals are affiliated with other religious orders or deities.

## Culture

The essence of Inum culture is interwoven with themes of kinship and devotion. A profound emphasis is placed on family units, where matrimonial bonds symbolize more than companionship—it echoes the core tenets of faith. Each Inum household mirrors the structure of the faith itself, serving as a microcosm of the broader Inum philosophy.

## Public Agenda

Guided by the Divine, Inum strides forward, carrying the legacy of its predecessors while adapting to the evolving times. Drawing lessons from the past Divine, Inum's sevenfold agenda encompasses:

* Fostering fairness and equity among species and races, extending a welcoming embrace to all.
* Safeguarding individuals from corruption, illuminating the path towards righteousness, or shielding them from malevolence.
* Nurturing the pristine state of Divindi's creation, ensuring its sanctity remains intact.
* Ensuring each soul can rest as they desire in passing, untouched by financial constraints or biases.
* Encouraging a balanced populace of engaged individuals, optimizing the blessings bestowed upon them.
* Establishing a network of administrative territories, each presided over by a Viden, a channel through which voices can be heard.
* Extending charitable aid to those in need, fostering a culture of kindness and benevolence.

## History

Inum boasts the distinction of being Edivandic's oldest recorded faith, a legacy so ancient that even the Titians remain ignorant of its genesis.

## Priesthood

There are several types of priesthoods in Inum:

* Vier - Also known as the kin, these Vier raised by a Viden, Busa, or the Divine. They grow up to be Videns, Manibus, Pudens and Guardians.

* Puden - First level of priesthood. It is easier to become a Puden if you are a Vier, but anyone can join this rank with enough training and experience.
* Viden - Second level of priesthood. Entrusted with a position of authority and oversight. They also take on Vier as apprentices to help train them. A Viden usually has two to five Vier under them. This position is usually appointed by the Divine, but in rare cases can be appointed by a Mani Busa.
* Busa - Third level of priesthood. Manibus have jurisdiction (but no superiority of order) over the other Videns of a province. Busa can have Vier under them. This position is appointed by the Divine.
* Mani Busa - The fourth level of priesthood. Mani Busa don't have any Vier under them directly. This position is appointed by the Divine.
* Guardians - Bodyguards and messengers of the Divine. The Divine usually has one hundred and twenty-five Guardians. This position is appointed by the Divine. Guardians usually hold the titles of Puden or Viden, but their duties change due to being a Guardian as well as.
* Mani Guardians - Highest Guardian of the Divine. You have to have been a Viden for this position, and this position is appointed by the Divine.

Other associated titles include Divine, and Puer. Puer are those who have been blessed by an Original God.

The realm's nobility, regardless of their chosen deity, uniformly pays homage to Pudens and beyond, a testimony to the deep-rooted respect ingrained within the society.
