Libertas

The Libertas Religion originated on the island nation of Vosqis. Becoming officially recognised by the rest of the world in **571PR**. It is unsure exactly what date it was created, only that it became the nations majority religion in **529PR**.

## Beliefs

The belief of Libertas is a lot of freedom. Something they believe in above all else. Though they still believe in rules, they will be the first to tell you if it is unfair. All of this is supported by their god, the God of Freedom, or better known as Libertas Prime. On each of their church walls are a bunch of words listed, which are below:

### Honesty

Honesty is incredibly important in Libertas. For they wish that nothing restricts their ability to speak the truth. Therefore they can sometimes be seen as rude or blunt, but for their religion this is completely acceptable as they are being truthful to themselves.

Other followers of this religion do not see blunt honesty as a bad thing, even if it is insulting for them. Rather they take it as the person respecting them enough that they would invoke the religion for them to tell the truth.

### Love

Love is very important in the Libertas religion. As they wish for the person to have the freedom to love whomever they want. Thus, love between the higher and lower classes has always existed with this religion, for a person could be shunned if they decided to hide how they truly feel. This makes them very progressive amongst other cultures.

With the honesty factor, flirting in the culture is in almost every conversation.

### Nature

As it is nature that provides freedom to the animals and the trees, it also provides freedom to the people following this religion. Many of the followers have a deep connection with nature, usually picking a single plant or tree and worshipping it as a vessel for their god.

Though they know that nature must be destroyed in order to build their houses and weapons, they decide to designate areas for it, with worshippers ensuring that it continues to be replanted and maintained.

### Religion

In what is seen as a weird occurence, religion is actually free to choose in the religion of Libertas. They believe that one may follow multiple religions and if they only follow Libertas, they are not even seen as superior.

This freedom is mainly seen with people from other religions, who they treat respectfully, even bishops.

### Travel

One major thing that can restrict freedom is travel. In Libertas, there are no blockades on travel and even in sieges, non-combatants are allowed to leave and enter as they wish, this is only to Vosqis though. While some may believe it dangerous, it has never occured to either side that they abuse this and secretly send troops out.

Even the old borders between tribes were free to walk through for non-combatants.

## Churches

There are few churches for Libertas, as many of them find another place to vent their faith and beliefs. Of the churches there are, they all have the 5 words written on their wall.

Keeping with the freedom, all the churches are different from one another other than the words, with the architects or financers having the choice to design it however they want.
