Lemonism

## Info

Lemonism is the unofficial (not stimulated-approved) semi-official religion of Lemongrab.

Lemonism was canonically created in the lemon continent in the Citrus Seas, which is an alternate dimension to Pabverse. Exact details about this world can be found on the wiki page on Lemongrab. Lemonism wasn't technically a religion in this world, but after a group escaped from the Citrus Seas and traveled to Pabverse, they founded the religion as a way to continue their beliefs.

## The Leble

The Leble (Lemon Bible) is the holy text of Lemonism, and a major part of both it and Lemongrab's beliefs. The Leble is a collection of stories and tales of the lemons, stating that the universe was created by lemons and everything originated from lemons.

The first book of the Leble was written by multiple unknown authors, but books 2 and 3 were both fully written by b r e a d. The first few chapters of the Leble were written in the Worldbox Official discord server due to a joke channel that was created about lemons. Canonically, the Leble was written by lemon priests and historians who wanted to write out their unique history and beliefs.

The Leble is comprised of books, which are made up of chapters. All of the books so far in the Leble can be found below:

## Book I: The Beginning of Lemon

##### Chapter 1: The Creation

Once there was nothing, nothing, until in a day a yellow fruit came, he wasn't a lemon, no one knows what he was he came to the world. After some years he created a large explosion that started the whole story.

##### Chapter 2: The Elder Lemon

With a big explosion a single lemon appeared, and it grew into a lemon tree, and gave birth to all the lemons, this tree was the Elder Lemon. Each lemon became a universe with life sustained on lemons in it. Those beings worshiped the great lemon lord and its children. In each world, life lived, fed from its creators, and feeding its creations with their creations. The lemons grew, creating lemonade, and lemon cakes.

##### Chapter 3: Lemon Variations

Some of the lemons wanted to be more than lemons, they wanted more, they had greed. These lemons became limes and oranges, which were much worse than lemons. They spread like infections, bringing evil among the land, only balanced by the flourishing lemons. The living beings were more grateful now for being protected from the likes of lime-kind, however some embraced limes and became evil.

##### Chapter 4: The Great Lemon Massacre

Now, the oranges and limes were becoming too ambitious, henceforth destroying the lemon race. No more lemons walked on the surface of the universe. The planets were barren wastelands of no color and taste, void of any of the jovial lemons. But, through selective breeding, the lemons regrew from a population of oranges. Soon enough, lemons and oranges lived again as equals.

##### Chapter 5: The Lemon Biomes

Now that the lemons were equal among the oranges and limes on the land, they still wanted more. Soon, the lemons realized that they are better. Stronger than the average orange. Smarter than the average lime. The lemons, united by their strength, created one thing the others couldn’t: civilization. The lemons started by planting their weaker population into the ground, to hopefully grow into a better life. These lemons sprouted stems and grew into the lemon trees. Their roots spread into the grow, and sprouted lemongrass across the once-empty wastelands. Now the lemons, praising their lemon lord for this blessing, could live on peacefully and with prosperity.

##### Chapter 6: Paranoid And Corruption

The lemons now slowly corrupted from the peace and prosperity. Soon many lemon people wanted more than a peaceful life, they wanted power and all that lives. The lemons that betrayed the lemons soon were corrupted by the skeletons, the lemons now were against the traitors, the corruption. The battle for the lemon begins and both sides soon had a stalemate. The lemons controlled many but grew forever paranoid of the corrupted.

##### Chapter 7: The Sweet Tooth

Now the lemons face an evil alien of sweet loving people, these people slowly turned into monsters that resembled their candy counterpart and killed many lemons. The lemon lord was awoken and made the lemon people stronger. The candy people were not able to break the will and power of the lemons. The candy people slowly caused diabetes to those who live among its land. The infection spread quickly, destroying many lemons. But there were survivors, who you will find out about in the next book.

## Book II: The Citrus Wars

##### Chapter 8: Maxim

Eventually, as with The Plague, a cure was naturally formed through generations of lemons. However, the casualties from the results of the candy infection left all the groups of the world shattered and unorganized. But one person could save them all; a pumpkin named Maxim.

Maxim was a mysterious being to the lemons, who had arrived from across the Citrus Sea. He had mysterious powers that could greatly help the lemons. With a snap of his fingers, the lemon biome spread throughout the diminished continent. He called down a blessing to remove the remnants of the candy infection. The lemons praised him for his deeds, and now they would flourish again.

Across the Southern Citrus Sea, the oranges received news of Maxim and the Lemon comeback. The oranges too had suffered from the candy infection, not as much as the lemons, and together they rallied against the Lemon’s still growing empire.

To the east of both the orange and lemon continents lies the Lime continent. Here, they were untouched by the infection, and had a much bigger population. With their powerful army, they could easily conquer the lemons, but with Maxim protecting them, it was a tough feat.

##### Chapter 9: The Lemon Democracy

The lemons needed to establish a government to unite their people. At the beginning, lemon citizens who praised Maxim wanted him to be their leader. However, most lemons agreed that they need to have a true lemon as their leader. After debating, the lemons could not decide on a leader and decided that there shouldn’t be one, but instead a democracy. Meanwhile, the lemons were unaware of the rallying Lime and Orange forces who would soon attack.

##### Chapter 10: The Siege of Lemonbay

On the east coast of the lemon continent, a small settlement of the Lemons was built on the beach. With pre-built infrastructure and buildings, it would be a prime location for invading forces to conquer. It took seven days for the Lime army to sail across the Citrus Sea and arrive in Lemonbay. In a few quick days, the lemons of Lemonbay were destroyed and the town was owned by the limes.

Back in the capital, panic was arising when news reached the leaders of the attack. The democracy was not fully established yet, and the government was in chaos. The leaders, however, were able to send out an army to take back Lemonbay, and to send a fleet of navy ships around the northern harbor to attack the limes in their home base.

##### Chapter 11: The Battle of the Three Fleets

The limes were preparing to send another fleet of ships to help supply the troops in Lemonbay. The lemons were sending their ships to attack the limes, and the oranges had just prepared their fleets for attack. A large, never-ending storm sat in between all three continents, meaning the attacking fleets would have to travel south of it, near the orange continent.

The lime and lemon fleets met just north of the orange continent, exactly as the oranges left their boats. Now commenced the Battle of the Three Fleets.

The oranges shot blindly at the approaching ships, expecting a lemon invasion, only to find that the limes were hit by their shots instead. This made the limes very angry, and turned on the oranges. Soon, all three sides were fighting off the coast of the Orange Kingdom. The limes’ superior navy won, however, and the lemons retreated.

##### Chapter 12: Fort Lemontea

In the Lemon Kingdom, there sat an ancient fortress among the eastern rocky hills, near Lemonbay. After the loss in Lemonbay, most lemons retreated to this place to escape the limes. Some lemon troops arrived to protect the refugees and to defend against the oncoming limes.

The limes wanted revenge for the ships lost in the Battle of the Three Fleets and were enraged when attacking the lemons. The army arrived over the hilltops and the lemons opened fire with their bows. The limes pushed past this, and approached the walls while preparing ladders. However, the lemons had a plan. They dropped boiling lemonade on the oncoming attackers, making them fall to their doom on the ground below. Later, the lemons would use the bodies to make limeade for other conflicts.

##### Chapter 13: The Battle of Sour Pass

In the next month, the limes attacked a small colony called Lemonshire, and were preparing to move on to the Sour Pass, a valley between two large mountain ranges, and was the only way to access the northern land of the continent. The lemon army was waiting on the northern side, and both armies rushed forward to attack the other. The lemons pushed back against the lime army with unimaginable strength, and continued striking down their invading enemies.

During this battle, Maxim came down from the northern capital and approached the fighting armies. He stood on a hill and proclaimed, “Your war over me is UNACCEPTABLE. You shall return peace to the land at once.” Then the lemons and limes stopped fighting and stared at each other. Then, each one realized that they are not too much unlike each other, and the dusk of the war was throughout the land.

##### Chapter 14: Resolution

As the Citrus War came to an end, Maxim was still alive and was residing on the lemon continent, helping the lemons grow. The limes and lemons had formed a tedious friendship, but both now turned against the oranges. The defeated limes and oranges were still very jealous of the lemons’ power, and peace would not last long…

## Book III: The New Species

##### Chapter 15: A Mysterious Arrival

The people of the Citrus Seas lived in harmony for many years, trading and building. All three civilizations expanded and researched more than even before, turning the continents into thriving empires. But from across the seas, something unexpected arrived.

From the north, a fleet of ships were spotted by the lemons, and news spread throughout the Citrus Sea. The empires sent out boats to meet them, then the leaders of all four groups met and discussed who these people were. The truth revealed that there were more continents outside of the Citrus Sea, and that these new fruits were known as pomelos.

##### Chapter 16: The Dilemma

The sudden arrival of another species shocked the three nations, and when the leaders returned to their kingdoms, they discussed what to do. The lemons thought they should visit the Pomelo Kingdom to see what it was like. The oranges wanted to welcome them with open arms to the citrus continents. However, the limes wanted to violently turn them away, and deny any other visitors. The kingdoms could not agree, and war would be imminent...

##### Chapter 17: The Oranges' Decision

The oranges were the first to make a choice, and they let the original visitors stay in their kingdom. The limes heard this and got very angry with the oranges. The lemons meanwhile sent ships north with diplomats on board, to see how the two empires could work together. However, back in the orange kingdom, the oranges and pomelos unknowingly created a new species because of the time spent in the orange kingdom by the pomelos.

##### Chapter 18: Grapefruits

The cross between the pomelos' adventurous and creative traits and the strong, ambitious traits of the oranges created a unique kind of personality in these new fruits. The empires called them "grapefruits," for the large clusters that their trees grow in, resembling grapes. The grapefruits, due to their ancestor's traits, were smart and ambitious, making them a powerful force.

Originally, the grapefruits lived as part of the orange continent, creating their own towns and villages after the pomelo visitors left. The oranges didn't care, as they thought the grapefruits would be allies, due to their ancestry. But the grapefruits were ambitious, and slowly planted corruption in the orange government.

##### Chapter 19: The Imposter

The grapefruits knew that the oranges were too powerful to take by force, so instead they planned to destroy them from the inside out. The grapefruits formed a secret organization called the anti-orange movement that would control the plan to destroy the oranges. They decided to disguise one of their most trusted members, named Toranja, as an orange who would apply to be in the orange government. After many hours of planning, the anti-orange movement was underway, and Toranja was working for the government.

After a few months, Toranja finally got a high-ranking and influential job in the orange government through bribery and rigging elections. The first step of the plan was to decrease the funding for the orange army, so that the grapefruits would have an easier time taking over. But Toranja instead betrayed the movement and told the government about the grapefruit's plans, but in a way that still convinced them that Toranja was an orange.

##### Chapter 20: The Distraction

During this time, the pomelos had been secretly communicating with the grapefruits, telling them that they were still allied, and the pomelos could help the grapefruits. So, while the lemons were visiting the pomelos, they sent a shipment of soldiers through the undefended coasts of the lemon continent, south to the orange continent.

The pomelo's reinforcements arrived on the orange continent, ready for battle. The first plan was to attack a small outpost village on the northeast coast of the continent to draw out the orange army. Once the army was drawn away from the capital, the grapefruits would strike the main governmental buildings and send the oranges in chaos. This would allow for the grapefruits to surround and finish off the remaining army and then conquer the rest of the continent.

##### Chapter 21: Toranja's Turn to Shine

The first phase of the pomelo-grapefruit plan went smoothly, until the pomelo army reached the outpost village in the middle of the night. They charged into the village only to find villagers and soldiers ready to ambush them. The pomelos were cornered and taken down very quickly by the surprise attack, and only few escaped back to the ship that brought them there

Meanwhile, the grapefruits were watching the capital, waiting for the orange army to move north. As the sun rose on the next day, the army was still in the capital. A grapefruit messenger went out to the outpost to check on the attack, but when he got there discovered it was still intact and the pomelos were nowhere to be seen. The messenger then realized what had happened and rushed back to the capital.

Previously in the night, Toranja had warned the oranges of the grapefruit's plan. The oranges sent out a few soldiers to prepare the villagers of the outpost against the oncoming raid, and left the rest of the army at the capital for defense. An orange scout had noticed the messenger leaving to check on the village and notified Toranja, who had figured out the location of the grapefruit's base of operations in a nearby cliffside. The oranges sent a squadron of soldiers to finish off the rebellious oranges.

##### Chapter 22: The Master of Chaos

Toranja's plan had worked. The Orange Empire was falling apart and the attacks from the pomelos had failed. While still in the Pomelo Kingdom, the lemons heard news of the pomelo attack on the orange continent, and demanded an explanation from the pomelo king. He claimed that it was an attack provoked by the oranges. Yet the lemons had heard enough. They returned to their continent, then called on the limes to help get revenge on the pomelos and liberate the oranges.

The lemons and limes devised a plan, where the lemons would defend the Citrus Sea with their impressive navy to stop the pomelos from sending reinforcements to the grapefruits, and the limes would launch a full-on assault into the chaotic orange continent. Toranja remained hidden in the orange government, offering support, but also secretly undermining it. He heard the news of the war that was about to unfold with a smile on his face.

##### Chapter 23: World War

The war began as soon as the lemons had their ships in place, and the limes landed on the orange continent. During the time of preparation, the oranges and grapefruits had come to a cease-fire, splitting up the regions of the continent into a messy configuration, but occasionally large fights still broke out and the grapefruits still controlled the orange capital. As dusk fell throughout the land, the limes rushed in to take control of the coastal towns.

The limes were cheered on as they moved among the coasts in the cities, warding off the grapefruits that threatened these small villages. After placing guards in the cities, they moved on towards the center of the continent and began to fight completely grapefruit-controlled cities. However, the grapefruits' lack of reinforcements from the pomelos severely affected their troops and limited their numbers. As a result, they were pushed back to the orange capital where they could defend easier.

In a far away city, where the orange government had been temporarily moved, Toranja was listening to news of the war and planning his next move. The lemons had been defending from the pomelos in the northern seas, but it was not going well. The pomelos too had a strong fleet, and were pushing back against the lemons. Eventually a gap opened in the lemons' defense, and the pomelos rushed in. But this gap led directly into the dangerous never-ending storm that the pomelos never knew about. They sent many ships through that gap, and they were all destroyed as the storm consumed them.

##### Chapter 24: The Path to Peace

The limes eventually took the capital of the oranges and pushed out the grapefruits. However, while the grapefruits were defending, one of them shouted that there was a spy in the orange government. When the orange government returned to the capital, they held an interrogation. Toranja just barely managed to escape before being questioned, but on the way out of the government courthouse he was confronted by an orange general, the one who had originally called him out.

On the balcony of the courthouse, the general rushed forward to attack Toranja, but Toranja slipped under the attack and stabbed upward with his knife. The general, barely hurt, turned around and sent a thrust directly to Toranja's face. He deflected it down, but it sliced down his body and cut open his disguise. It was clear now that he was a grapefruit, and he ran from the battle. But as he was descending the balcony stars, a nearby guard saw him and swung his spear, knocking Toranja off his feet and over the railing.

##### Chapter 25: A New World

Eventually, the grapefruits and oranges decided that the grapefruits will be able to live on a small portion of the land dedicated to them in exchange for peace, or  they could return to the pomelo continent. The limes left the cities they had occupied, and the lemons made peace with the pomelos. The spy was gone from the orange government, and chaos was no more.

But as technology advances, and as the 4 kingdoms build on their desire to explore, the world doesn't seem so small now. Beyond the Citrus Seas, what could be out there? Who will be the first to discover it? The mysteries of this world are soon to be solved.
