Nowhere is Everywhere

Nowhere is Everywhere is the religion that follows Amnakos Nowhere.

Nowhere is Everywhere is built mainly on following your own passion, picking a Path of Passion that is pre-approved by the church, and following it with all of the passion you have, following along the path that's been decided by the priests. The approved passions are Love, Destruction, Ambition, and Preaching. It's not uncommon for people to switch passions, or maybe follow more than one.

Love - This begins by picking someone or something to love, romantic if it's a person, but picking platonic love of an animal or a place works as well. If they do a good enough job at this, Amnakos will bless them and they can join him after their death. If it's a person, you must put them ahead of yourself in all things. (Everywherists that follow the Passion of Love generally only ever date other people that follow the Passion of Love, as they're a lot to handle, and often overwhelming to those who are not part of the religion.) Those who pick an animal give the animal everything it should want, and often travel with their animal as a companion. They're often adventurers. It's discouraged to pick an animal, because it's likely the animal will pass before you do and they you must find a new passion. People who follow this passion will often get a new animal when they lose theirs. Those who pick a place must protect this place with even their life, make it the best that it can be and often stay there for their whole lives. People who follow this passion are like national forest workers or such, though some people pick houses or maybe rivers.

Destruction - The Passion of Destruction is often chosen by warlords or soldiers, conquerers. These people kill and destroy and take things down to smaller levels, believing that if they can ruin it, Amnakos will rebuild it better. When they kill, they send mortals to Amnakos in the afterlife, to be used by him and consumed by his passion. This one can be interpreted in several different ways, killing, or possibly destroying buildings or cities. They're encouraged to do this no matter the consequences, and often end up in jail or killed. That's part of their path, and to be imprisoned or executed for their passion is known as one of the highest honors, as it's being recognized by others.

Ambition - The Passion of Ambition is kind of purposefully vague. It's path is to follow your ambition to the highest place it can take you. It's often followered by dictators or leaders, and the means by which they get to their high station isn't set, and some people use destructive means, while others do it the right way. This Path of Passion is often paired with one of the other paths as well, as a secondary path. For example, people who have chosen the Passion of Preaching may also choose the Passion of Ambition to become the leader of their own church, or a warlord who has chosen the Passion of Destruction may choose it to be a general in their army. Also, there have been a couple great leaders that have chosen the Passion of Love and the Passion of Ambition and chosen to love their country or city and lead it in love. They're often fair but strict leaders, beloved by their subjects and make lots of changes that benefit their country in great ways.

Preaching - The Passion of Preaching is taken by priests of Nowhere is Everywhere. They dedicate their lives to preaching and converting, and helping Everywherists along their paths, or helping them pick new ones when they need to move on. This is often taken up as a last passion, after people have expressed all of their passion for a different path, and need to find somewhere to retire.
