The Order of the Infinites

The Order of the Infinites is a polytheistic religion which worships six divine and heroic deities; the religion has seven deities in total. The Order of the Infinites is one of the two main religions practiced in Seligard. The Order and all it's practices will primarily be found in the future holy city.

### LORE

Millions of years before the "Day of creation," there was a war between two sides of deities, The Eternals and the Infinites. The Eternals wanted to enslave all life, and the Infinites wanted to preserve all life on Cinderguard. This war was bloody with many deaths on both sides, and it eventually resulted in the destruction of the entire universe. Even though the Eternals were greater in both number and overall power, the Infinites eventually won the war by casting the 'Everlasting Rest' upon the Eternals. Only one resisted the Everlasting Rest: the leader of the Eternals and the goddess of chaos and death, Innia. When the Everlasting Rest failed to take effect on her, she was banished to a realm of the afterlife known as Amatasuno, where she would spend all of time torturing the chaotic and evil. As for the Infinites, they recreated the universe, eventually making the world of Cinderguard and creating the realm known as Rasu. This realm's main purpose was to be an afterlife for the good and heroic, but it was also made to honor both the Infinites and the Eternals who fell during the war. At the end, there were only seven deities that still lived: six Infinites and one Eternal.

## Deities

### Ren, the God of War and Honor

Ren was not only the god of war and honor, but he was also the leader of the Infinites. He lead them through everything, including loss and victory. He now sits on his empyrean throne, looking down on us, as we, his children, fight in his name. Legends say that his combat skills and his strategic mind are unmatched by any mortal or god.

"When you fall, get back up and fight, as is the way of a soldier" - Ren

### Kaynon, the God of Time

Kaynon is the oldest amongst the Infinites, as he lived millions of years before the war. Kaynon is the reason why everything ages, including us. Long ago, while Cestrios, the goddess of life was creating sentient life, she asked Kaynon to make them age in order to give life more meaning. Legends say that Kaynon lives amongst us in Cinderguard, instead of in Rasu with the other gods.

"Life for most of you is short, so enjoy every minute of it" - Kaynon

### Shino, God of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Magic

Shino, being the only one who knew how, created everything, including Rasu and Cinderguard. He is also the god who created magic as a way for us to use a fraction of the gods' power. He also casted the Everlasting Rest upon the Eternals, using their bodies to construct Cinderguard. When the other gods seek wisdom and knowledge, they always go to Shino.

"Wisdom is a virtue, magic is an art, and knowledge is a key" - Shino

### Nin, the Deity of Visions and Dreams

Nin is a deity with not one, but two appearances. Nin appears in dreams and visions, and if they appear as a large, shadowy, terrifying creature, it's a sign something horrible and tragic will occur. When they appear as a young and beautiful lady, it's a good omen, and something amazing will happen. Legends say that Nin spends most of their time making new dreams and visions.

"Pay attention to what happens in your dreams, it could save your life" - Nin

### Akai, the God of the Elements

Akai is the god of all the elements. Akai was once an Eternal soldier, but grew sympathetic towards Ren's cause during a battle, and he switched sides and assisted the Infinites. Akai first made the five basic elements: fire, air, water, earth and thunder. Any time a new element is discovered, it is the result of Akai's experiments with the five basic elements. Legends say that Akai made the elements to give more life, feeling, and beauty into the world.

"We didn't make this beautiful world for you ignore it" - Akai

### Cetrios, the Goddess of Life

It is very often for Cetrios to be called the mother of all life, for she made us all unique. During the war, she would heal her Infinite brothers and sisters during combat, mending their wounds with her life-giving powers. Legends say that when we die, it is Cetrios who guides us to the gates of Rasu.

"You all are my children, and I will always love you" - Cetrios

### Innia, Goddess of Death and Chaos

As mentioned, Innia was the leader of the Eternals. She was the one who created all creatures of the night such as zombies and skeletons. It was Innia who caused the war between the Infinites and Eternals, because she wanted to take advantage of sentient life and use us to further her schemes. She eventually convinced many deities to follow her, and so they formed the Eternals. After the war ended, she was killed, and her spirit was sent to Amatasuno to imprison her and any of the evil souls who followed her. Legends say that her monsters are trying to reach her physical skull in order to resurrect her.

"I will come back, and I will bring chaos" - Innia
