## About

The Paragons of Sin is a religious Pantheon of the Fallen Java and Bedrock Gods, which were players in creative mode who built large kingdoms and similar structures. At the moment, the only known god of the Pantheon was Milo, with his most well-known kingdoms as Luxuria and Ira.

## Lore History

Long ago, there were the Paragons of Sin. These paragons were the immortal and prosperous gods of the Earth, who created vast kingdoms with a single tap to the ground. They defied the natural order of the world to create the perfect kingdoms of their image, giving them their names of the Paragons (perfection) of Sin.

The first of their kingdoms was Luxuria, a grand and prosperous built by the Paragon god of Lust, Milo. Luxuria flourished with wealth, held within walls of obsidian for its protection. It bore the grandest army to ever be developed, and housed a large sum of its people. Food, shelter, and beauty were abundant.

However, jealousy spread amongst the enemies of the kingdom. One fated day, the kingdom was destroyed by a single member, who summoned nine withers to destroy and kill everything it could come across. Not even the gods could fight back in time to save the people.

And so, as a way to restore prosperity, the gods cried out in their despair, and the world was brought anew. Upon the reset, the world was immediately struck with ruin and suffering. A purge had begun before the gods could do anything.

Milo, taking the form of a devil, attempted to bring together the clashing parties under one banner. However, this was not before a large bomb had swept the land, destroying nearly everything. Milo, enraged by the violence, took on his godly form, and commanded the people to rebuild the destroyed land. Upon his words, the city of Ira was built.

The city was still rather damaged, looking more like a crater than land of the gods, but construction continued nonetheless. Ira became the biggest trade centre, holding many citizens and prosperity within its walls. Through vuwarrior, Milo continued to command and guide the people to expand. No longer was it a city, but it had developed into a strong kingdom.

However, despite the prosperity of the land, there were still those who threatened the gods. Eitrnox, a spiteful member, called out against the gods. He rose an army, and announced that the gods broke the order; declaring that Ira Kingdom was built of lies, not prosperity.

The two clashed for days, with Eitrnox ending in victory. Upon the defeat, Milo was cast away and banished from worship. Over time, his power weakened through these actions, and despite forms made of recovering him, he has lost his ability to create. All that is left of him is his blood through his descendants, the religious texts that were written in his name, and a single temple in New Baccara.

## Main Beliefs and Practices

The followers of the Paragons lay their belief foundations in the gods of the Pantheon, who are to bring prosperity to the land as long as the followers create. Those who build the most structures for the good of their home will receive blessings from the gods, usually in forms of tools, treasures, or building materials. Descendants of the gods aren't treated much differently from the followers, unless they are in positions of leadership. (ie, Asmodeus)

Although many don't practice their worship anymore, buildings are still built in hopes of a blessing, as are roses collected. It was believed that Milo used roses as a symbol of his presence, which caused both the rose bush and the wither rose to be seen as a holy item. The sacred texts have yet to be discovered again.

## Creation

No one knows exactly how or when the gods were created. However, it is said that during an age of disorder and discord, Milo was born to correct it and bring prosperity, peace, and life to the land. It is said that he resided within the void until he was called out to for help, where he ascended to answer that plea. Nothing else is known of his, or any other gods', creation.

## Notable Sites of Worship

### Luxuria

As the first kingdom to be created by the gods, the entirety of the land was considered holy ground. This especially applied to the land within the obsidian walls, which was considered even more holy than the land outside of it.

### Ira

The Onyx Palace, a large blackstone palace built within a dark forest, was the largest building in Ira's Kingdom. It was the second home to the god, Milo, and held Ira's greatest leaders. As the kingdom was made by the sin of Wrath, most of the palace was built through dangerous measures, including its use of Wither Roses.

The Bee Mansion, a large mansion built of wood, stone, and honey, was the second largest building in Ira's Kingdom. It was the home of Jeste, formerly known as the Bee King, and the base of operations for both the Bee King Trading Company and the Ira Government. Due to it being a building that Milo personally built for his great-grandson, it was stashed with various treasures. Some of these treasures included statues, a garden, discs, Nether items, and axolotls.

### New Baccara

The Lumen Temple, a small temple built in the capital city of Kuzco, is an unfinished project proposed by Asmodeus. The temple is to be made in honour of his ancestors and the forgotten gods, in hopes of restoring their name and power.
