PRAISE G0NF! HE IS RISEN!! Join the server to create your own religion today! IP address- play.stoneworks.gg discord link- discord.com/invite/p2mwW9D5pK *Corrections -Sakrelism and Theiosism never really split. They did jumble around as different sects within the same religion, though. Thank you Ljukkti for pointing that out! -The sun deity that Afton killed was called Aul (which literally means sun in Noxism) and Auron is Aul's son, the second one is that Shinto and Baldemar were merged into Baldemar which became the bringer of dreams and god of the dream world, along with that, Aeder was brought in place of Shinto as the god of the waters and weather. Art re-credits: Twin Dragon- The Celestial Elf primordial and matron is by Dalatra The map of the Velande is made by Alfy' Lux- Map of Ummarnu by WhiskeyKnight I get conflicting information & people don't bother to update their religion's wiki pages lmao.

As an outsider, it seems that the main mythic component of Rathniri faiths is of a Manichaean struggle between light and dark. That motif seems to keep appearing across many of its religions.

[@EyeOfEld]

@ilove bigbrother I actually meant it as a compliment. Having recurring motifs in religion makes for strong worldbuilding. Just look at the Chaoskampf for an example.

[@gaychampagnesocialist7213]

@ilove bigbrother Have you read any religious documents at all? There's a reason these are classic motifs, and they're hardly infantile considering that this is basically how early religions viewed the world and expanded later is genuinely amazing/ Honestly, keeping the same general motifs for everything and letting the players decide their meaning is probably one of the greatest examples of how real world religions are interpreted and extrapolated by various cults over time. This is honestly amazing. Sociology and Theology majors couldn't have asked for a better real time experiment into how belief structures are formed and affect the people, mystical or not.

I have this theory that the deities and the powers of the religion is made and powered by will of the people worshipping them, rather than the deities existing before their first followers would come to be.

Or a few gods existed from the very beginning but we see them differently - one can see supreme abstracts - which are light and dark, we all agree about that I guess - as a couple of lovers who possess an entire world as their creations or kids(and evil is only a misunderstanding by each other in this vast family), when one sees them as a pair of everwaring creatures(like Ahuramazda\Anhriman, or God\Devil conflicting sides)

A religion I came up with: Machinaus Machinaus was founded by the Beshi-Dana Leyus. Leyus was attacked and lost in the wilderness, running out of food and water he prayed to every god he knew of, yet they did not answer. Lost in the wilderness he stumbled into a cave deep underground where he found a tree of iron, and red dust that thrummed with power. Under the Tree of Iron he need not Food or water, only the red dust to live. His body turned into machinery, and Deep in meditation under the Tree of Iron he awoke knowledge of the universe, there was no true god, only the machine. so he set out to build a true god. With Stolen Relics and Machinery the religion hopes to build a god. Many followers make a holy journey underground to the Tree of Iron to meditate and hope that they become Beshi-Dana those who’s flesh are as strong as metal, who need not food or water only the Red Dust. Their Religious Goal is to catalog all knowledge, as it is sacred, to build their god, and to take away the mysticism of the world and replace it with logic and understanding
