Almarism

Almarism is a religion, that currently has one single temple, in the city of (x) that is a Province of Adytum. The worshippers believe in only one god. The god of Life and Peace, Alma.

## **History**

Cultivators of Almarism, believe that in the beginning there were there were nearly infinite worlds, but then the Noxen shades came. their only purpose in existence was to kill all life and light. After roaming for centuries there were only a few worlds left. Then one of the Noxens became sentient, and became a rouge. It wandered to the other Noxens, but none of them listened, and continued to feast on the life of others. Then something changed in the rouge, instead of a dark, ominous silhouette of a creature, it began to turn into light. The Noxens scared and confused started attacking it, but just as in the real world, the Noxens just turned into nothing. The light had saved worlds.

The rouge Nox, now called itself Alma, bringer of Life and Peace.

### Almsaers

The first Almsaer was TetraHydra, a man that wandered the worlds of Rathnir, he had not been of any importance in any kind in the history, but then he saw a vision, he saw Alma in the sky telling him *"You wanderer shall be the one to spread my words, and wisdom."* Tetra confused, looked around, he was scared someone was tricking him into something *"I the only god Alma is herby choosing you as the first Almsaer, you shall spread my thoughts, and ideology"* Tetra, now seeing the light of Alma in his head, answered *"I will do as thy say"*.

Alma then told Tetra the laws of Almarism

1. *Killing, was never good, end will never be. And thy is forbidden, thy shall only kill when they themselves are in danger or if it's to spread the words of Alma.*
2. *All life taken, shall be resurrected. If you cut down a tree, you need to replant it. If you kill a pig, that has children, you shall give the children food, too survive the rest of their lives.*
3. *Jealousy is a human downside, no people shall have it, and thy is forbidden.*
4. *You shall only believe in Alma, the one and only god.*
5. *You shall always pray when the sun rises, and before battle.*
6. *You shall never mock the name of Alma.*
7. *If someone has done you harm, but comes back to apologize, always accept their apologies. The world is stronger with friends, not enemies.*

## Prayers

Almarism like many other Religions has its own prayers, that usually tie to Alma.

Prayer when sunrise: "*Oh, Alma. I see your face again, you from bad had saved me this night, and thy I shall thank you. My heart is beating because you have given it strength to do so, and it's beating for only you. Oh Alma..."*

Prayer before battle: "*Alma, our nation is in strive, we are being attacked by outsiders that want to claim your land. Please protect our people, in this hour of try. The people that so openly love you. Give us strength to keep on fighting, and never give up our love for you, Alma our savior"*

The listed prayers are the most used prayers of Almarism.

The prayer when sunrise is made on top of an *"Alumner"*

## Temples and such

### Alumner

Almarism has a special shrine where all cultivators meet. these shrines are called *"Alumner".* The requirements for these shrines is that every shrine needs to be at least 20 meters tall, and have at least one small part made from wood. These shrines also need to be squares if seen from the top (3x3 4x4 5x5 and so on). It's really important for people that cultivate almarism that they cultivate up high, to make their words reach Alma.

### Symbols

Almarism has one symbol, that represents something on the likes of the weapon Alma used to combat the Noxens.
