Qirsyllvian Religions, Legends & Mythologies

Religions play a major role in Patrian society. Most religions are identical to real-world religions, the most prominent being Animism, Buddhism, Catholic, Hinduism, Islam, Orthodox, Protestantism, Sikhism, and Shinto. Several Earth Pantheons (Aztec, Celtic, Egyptian, Germanic, Greek, Hindu, Incan, Japanese, Mayan, Norse and Roman) play part as well. However, religion is beginning to decline in certain parts of Patria, but it still plays a significant role in most Patiran societies. While some are identical to real-world religions, others are unique to Patria alone.

Hylian Religion:
The Religion of the Hylian People revolves around the three goddesses, Din: Goddess of Power, Farore: Goddess of Courage, and Nayru: Goddess of Wisdom. These three, according to myth, created the land on which Hyrule now sits. This religion is primarily practiced by Hyrule and it's vassals.

The religion of El Dorado revolves around the worship of the Twin Gods, Mihal and Tuhal, who, according to myth, were the mortal founders of the City of El Dorado before ascending to Godhood upon death.

Vampiric Pantheon:
While Vampires don't normally see eye-to-eye with most Holy Religions, most notably Catholic, they have their own form of worship, a Vampiric Pantheon, a polytheistic religion led by their own Pope, which also has many temples to the Vampiric Deities around Transylvania, and territories of the former Wallachian Empire.

Dark Religion
Dark religion is a form of religion where followers worship some dark god or deity. They are often looked down upon by most people, particularly if they are followers of a holy religion. There are three main Dark Churches are around Patria, and are often subject to isolation despite their many followers.

Church of Majora
The church of Majora is a church that pledges faith to the Dark God Majora. It is most active in the Kingdom of Ikana, and is the only dark church with an official headquarters. Majoran disciples believe that Majora is the only true dark deity and can lead them to true freedom, but their rituals are more viewed as suicide. Some say that Majora is the same Dark Lord that fell at the hands of the first seven Lunaoculi, but various texts prove otherwise.

Church of Scath
The Church of Scath is a church that worships the Dark Deity Trigon. It once tyrannically ruled the City of Azarath, before the Order of Azarath took it from them. The Purpose of this church is purely conquest and the genocide of all things "mortal", and for this reason is avoided by most. Today the Church is underground and hidden from public eye. Some say that Trigon is the same Dark Lord that fell at the hands of the first seven Lunaoculi, but various texts prove otherwise.

Church of Satan
The Church of Satan is the primary church that worships the Unholy God Satan. The church has no official headquarters and is underground. The Church of Satan was once the rulers of the Empire of Santania, before it was defeated by the Holy Papal Empire. Some say that Satan is the same Dark Lord that fell at the hands of the first seven Lunaoculi, but various texts prove otherwise.

Dark Church
The Dark Church, sometimes known as the Dark Order, is the hidden church that worships the Dark Lord defeated by the Lunaoculi. Unlike the three main dark religions, the followers of the Dark Church are a bit more active, seeking to plunge all of Patria into chaos, and most seeking the eventual resurrection of the Dark Lord. Also unlike the other three, the Dark Church is completely hidden from eye, most not even knowing of it's existence.
