Pathonic

Pathonic is a faith with 5 gods. Lord of all, Lord of land, Lord of fire, Lord of life and Lord of space. It was practiced mainly after 290 4E when Yeva Pirogova adopted the faith as the main faith of the Ta'tian kingdom and subsequently became the churches head of faith alongside her appointed archbishop. It was once the largest faith in Uytha until the Arydathy holy war in 480 4E.

## History

Until the union of faith in 290 4E most faiths in Uthya were fetishist beliefs that varied between tribes and the minor kingdoms in the region. After Yeva Pirogova converted and declared it the faith of the Kindgom of Ta'tan nobles of the land would convert to show good faith to their queen. Lands that did not convert were often forced in brutal civil holy wars that lasted around 20 years.

Although nobody knows for sure where the Pathonic faith originated, its believed by scholars to have originally travelled from the region of Hollow Wild after the surviving Yarian's retreated from the Resan Empire. This is because of the flower idols used to represent the gods were seen in what little survived of Yarian culture.

## Practices

The Pathonic faith is worshiped in churches. The church must have 5 totems representing each Lord;

* White tulip for Lord of All
* Orange tulip for Lord of Land
* Red tulip for Lord of Fire
* Wither rose for Lord of Space
* Cornflower for Lord of Life

Dedicated Pathonic followers follow a morning routine. Starting the day with a Morning Prayer "*Oh Lord of all, we thank you for another day of which the sun may rise, Amen*" and a Food prayer "*Oh lord of life, we thank you for another day of which our crops and animals may thrive. Amen.*"

## Beliefs

Pathonic has 6 main tenets;

1. You shall not kill another high thinking member of the otherworld, nether or end. Only for food or protection shall another entity be killed
2. You shall never cause harm or destruction to another entities craft or building
3. You shall never disobey or disrespect the Gods nor Queen and/or King
4. You must locate to a house of worship when requested by a Priest or King/Queen for gatherings of important matter
5. You shall never steal another entities items
6. You shall not be greedy or lust for items that you cannot obtain with friendly means

### Lord of all

The lord of all is considered the "head" of the Pathonic pantheon. From the Holy book: "*He who watches over all Gods and mobs alike. He is all seeing and all judging. He is the one to ask for forgiveness and protection.*"

### Lord of land

"*She who controls the grass, the growth of trees and the spread of flowers. Also known as Moth Nature to some. She is the one whom we must all thank for the cast lands of the Overworld.*"

### Lord of fire

"*He who controls the fire spread, the blazes in the Nether and the lava flowing underneath. We must thank him for the light and fires for our food.*"

### Lord of space

"*He who provides the End with its vast distances to explore, and for the air under our Elytras. He is the reason we get rain for our crops, sun for our buildings and wind for the clouds.*" Many also see the Lord of space as representing the distances between things, and will pray for the Lord to be kind when they say goodbye to someone they wish to see again soon.

### Lord of life

"*She who created all mobs. We must thank her for the growth of our plants, the well being of our friends, and the animals which provide food and clothing for us.*"
