Trutinasm

Trutinasm is a religion in Norsa practiced by Sylvia and other Mediators, usually along with the inhabitants of the villages they reside in. The name Trutinasm comes from the latin word "trutina", which means Balance. Trutinists believe that all living things in the universe are in balance, and that this balance must be maintained. Their legends go as such:

In the beggining, there were two beings. Lïbras, deity of justice, balance, and order; and Chaus, deity of chance, entropy, and chaos. They created two worlds, how they saw fit: Lïbras created The End, a dimension in a state of eternal stasis and perfection, and Chaus created The Nether, a dimension of entropy, constantly in conflict with itself.

Their worlds, being in direct conflict with each other, could not coexist. And so, they clashed, fighting for which of their worlds would persist. In their wake, they left a new world: The Overworld. Realizing the new world they'd unintentionally made, they paused their eternal battle. This world, our world, having been made by both of them, was in perfect balance with itself, and as such, pleased both deities at once. They sealed their own worlds away, accessible now only through portiamancy, and cultivated the Overworld together, creating different species to populate it. Foxes, Phantoms, Merlings, Florans, Slimes, Bats...and yet still, they cultivated their own worlds, in secret. Enderians, Elytrians, Dragonborn...Piglins, Blazeborn, Striders...

In the end, the deities grew tired of Norsa, and moved on to other worlds. Before they left, however, they created another being, a demigod to watch over the world they'd spent so long growing. Iudicies (from the latin word "iudicium" meaning "Judgement"), a being of incredible power, meant to maintain the balance of our world. Yet the deities underestimated the workload Iudicies would have to handle, as one demigod can do much less than two ethereal deities. And so, Iudicies came to us, the inhabitants of this world. He chose 8 of us as his disciples, and taught them the ways of balance. Then, he sent them back unto the world, to spread his influence, teach others as he taught them, and aid him in maintaining balance. We know these gifted individuals as Staterans.

These 8, however, were mortal as the rest of us, and eventually perished. 6 of them, however, had children, received the same power and knowledge as their predecessors. And thus those children grew up, and they too had children, and those children had children, up until present day, where these descendants act as our current Staterans, maintaining balance until the return of Iudicies, when he will judge the balance of our world on his scales and determine what must be done to perfect it. Often stated as including, but not limited to, the death of those who especially disturb balance, mass changes to the world's geography, creation of new species, and, if nothing needs to be done, an eon of peace and prosperity gifted unto the world.

Generally, trutinists believe that good and evil must exist in balance, neither one stronger nor weaker than the other. They believe that it is not for us to decide the fate of another, lest it is done fairly and justly, and that one must be unbiased to do so. Exact practices vary depending on region and species, however, and there is no one true belief system they follow, as they believe interfering with these differing beliefs would be to disturb the natural balance they create. If they followed the exact same practices, there would be incredible imbalance in favor of them. Those who judge objectively are in balance with those who judge emotionally. If one were to smudge out the other, there would no longer be balance.
