Religions: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:12, 6 October 2024

Aloria is a world full of many different people and societies; subsequently, many religions exist. Gods are tangible beings that walk among Mortals, and interact with them in this world, and so Religion feels a lot more impactful in the world. Religions present a set of guidelines and ideals to live by, while also creating conflict with those of other Religions. Your Character can be an atheist in this world, but Religions add a lot of flavor and connections with other Characters that are beneficial. If you are window-shopping for a new (first?) Character, and just want a quick refresher or easy-to-digest page, we recommend you read the Religion Abridged Page. You can come back here later for more information.

Unionism is the state Religion of the Roleplay world on the Server. It is a Religion about unifying the world and creating everlasting peace.
Draconism is a Religion centered around the worship of Dragons as creator deities who have created the material world and protect it.
Estelley is a Religion centered around the worship of perfect Gods, who in turn guide the faithful to create inner perfection in themselves.
Fornoss is a Religion centered around respect for the elements and forebearers, and to accrue honor in life to thrive in forever paradise thereafter.

Evolism is a Religion centered around the Dark Gods of the Void, who lend power to their worshipers to evolve into stronger, faster, and better beings.
Khama is a Religion centered around cosmic balance and karmic justice, of Gods from a lost civilization trying to restore balance in the world.
Nilthism is the only monotheistic Religion, centered around the worship of a terrifying primeval being that must be blinded and bound to save the world.
Minor Faiths are not a singular Religion, but a collection of smaller disorganized cults and faiths of varying themes and concepts.

Expanded Religious Pages

The Expanded religious pages are not required reading for new players. They offer additional advanced religious concepts or lore, that is usually used to expand the lore universe.

Syncretism is a religious concept that allows a Character who already believes one religion, to adopt a few concepts of an additional religion to widen their roleplay opportunities.
Lore Staff to add more expanded religious pages here where pertinent at a later point in time.

-Religions, both new and old, exist all across [[Aloria]] and give millions hope, pleasure, and happiness in their daily lives. Some are widely accepted by nations and [[Races]] like [[Unionism]], but others are not, or are often restricted to a single Race or people. There are also many cults and offshoots of the greatest or oldest Religions, further adding depth to the colorful landscape. Despite all of that, faith can be a great unifier in Aloria as much of the [[Regalian Empire]] can attest, but it can also lead to conflict, as many incidents in the history of the Regalian Empire can relay. For followers of these Religions, the power of these religions is both spiritual, and actual in the case of [[Faith Manifest]]. Faith Manifest is a special set of Religious Abilities a character can attain.

-|text = Humans are a longstanding part of Aloria, but their religious impact has only emerged within the past several centuries. The most prominent among them are the relatively recently emerged [[Ailor]] and their faiths. While some take ideas from older faiths of [[Nelfin]] origin, others are born from original experiences and ideas that possess great power in the modern day. Chief of all these is Unionism, the dominant faith of the Regalian Empire and Ailor-kind overall, making it the dominant form of faith in Aloria.
