Septifidelity

Septifidelity is a major religion that worships the first seven lunaculi as divine icons. Founded by Caius Iccia Nero, an alleged descendant of Minerva Eurodon. A follower of the faith is called a Septifidele (adj. Septifidelic).

There are three main denominations of Septifidelity: The Synkratic Church, Freiheitism, and the Northern Vernyist Church. Each has a few sub-denominations within them.

Core Beliefs
The holy text used as a bible is a tome known as the Mythos de Prota Septem [Fables of the First Seven], which is supposedly a collection of memoirs and journals written by the first seven lunaculi, and by the people who knew them during their lifetimes from their point of view, detailing their lives and their respective views and beliefs on the nature of the world, good and evil, divinity, and many other topics besides. Septifidelity's denominations are the dominant religion primarily in Eurodon, and there are many variations of the faith in other lands away from its place of governance. It also has been steadily gaining prominence in Aquilonis, mainly in northern Aquilonis (aside for Soleil, where they worship the sun god Swyll'zhor) and partially in New Albion. The faith has been spreading to Nekcroz, Ingodija and Maritymir through the Eurodian colonies.

The Seven Archangels
The Seven Archangels, are a part of Septifidelity that stipulates that seven archangels, each of whom represent the seven holy virtues, rule over one of the Seven Realms of Eden (the Septifidelic name for Heaven). These archangels are considered subordinate to the seven lunaculi worshiped by the main churches of Septifidelity. These seven archangels are also the progenitors of the seven recognized Great Angel Clans.

Septifidelic Demons
Septifidelity acknowledges several unholy demons

Satan
Satan is the ruler of the underworld, referred to as the High King of Purgatory, and the governor of all evil as well as the Demons of Sin.

Demons of Sin
The Demons of Sin are seven demons that represent the seven mortal sins, the opposites of the Archangels, and rule over each of the seven levels of Purgatory in lieu of Satan their lord and master. These seven demons are also the progenitors of the seven recognized Great Demon Clans.

Synkratic Church
The Synkratic Church, sometimes known as Synkratism or simply known as The Church, is the largest of the three main denominations and aims to spread its influence through rules and control. The is denomination of Septifidelity is led by the Pope, and it is governed worldwide from Vaticano, the capital of the Holy Papal Empire.

The main Synkratic denomination is dominant primarily in western and southern Eurodon, in particular Rome and related countries, as well as Gallia, Hispania and related countries, and Lusitania. The denomination also prevalent in the Hispanian, Gallian, and Lusitanian colonies.

The Church holds no tolerance for anything it deems unholy, and even vampires suffer under the yoke of the Synkratic Septifidelity.

Freiheitism is most prominent in central, southeastern and eastern Eurodon, in particular Germania, Britannia, Ordensstaat, Jysk, and the Midgard peninsula. Freiheitism also has influence in New Albon.

Freiheitism was founded in Germania during what history remembers as the Liberals' Reformation, in opposition against the many abuses of the Synkratic Church.

Northern Vernyist Church

It's primarily prominent in northern Arqupeiro, ranging from the Akhaian lands to central northern Aquilonis.

Notes & Trivia

 * Septifidelity (from Latin Septi = "seven" & fidel = faithful) was partially inspired by the Faith of the Seven from the A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones franchises, and is the Patrian equivalent to the real-world Christianity.
 * The Synkratic Church (from Greek συγκρατώ/synkrató = control) is the equivalent of the Roman Catholic Church.
 * The three listed denominations of the Synkratic Church roughly mean "Control Church" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean respectively.
 * Freiheitism (from German freiheit = liberty) is equivalent to Protestantism and has similar origins.
 * Cherychism (from Welsh cherych = love) is equivalent to Angelicanism, the Protestant demonination most prevalent in England.
 * Northern Vernyist Church (from Russian верный/vernyy = faithful) is equivalent to the Eastern Orthodox Church.
 * The archangels listed among the Seven Archangels are also prominent ones worshiped in Christianity.
 * Besides Septifideles, the seven archangels are also moderately worshiped by those of other faiths, such as Jalads and followers of Swyll'zhor.
 * Just as Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, is often used as an exclamatory interjection, Caius Iccia Nero, the founder of Septifidelity, is used similarly on Patria, commonly with his first and last name.
