Religious faith has played a major role in all [[Qirsyllviar|Qirsyllvian]] societies throughout history. Worship of just one deity or several or none, and other beliefs, goes back to even before the dawn of Qirsyllvian civilizations.

Religions and their associated mythologies are often formed around a certain common myth or legend, which are usually centered around one or more legendary figures. This in mind, religions are either polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities, or monotheistic, worshiping only one deity.

Religions and their associated rites and rituals are often, but not always, formed and tied around a certain common [[Qirsyllvian Legends, Mythologies & Folklore|myth or legend]], which are usually centered around one or more legendary figures. This in mind, religions are either polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities; monotheistic, worshiping only one deity; or nonthiestic, worshiping no deity in general.

Individual religious devotion in all societies is, of course, on a spectrum, from devout adherents to those that just go through some of the motions by rote as a cultural norm. Moreover, some people are irreligious and privately don't believe in any gods or religious systems.

  +
  +
One of the most noticeable practices is that Nekcr'zii Amazons of all ages and social standing, even royalty, bare their bellies at all times, covering them only when it's too cold. This practice stems from the belief that they are all descendants of Gadarudara and, while a physical umbilical cord are cut at birth, are connected to one another by a cosmic energy via an intangible cord, referred to as an "ubikani," which stretches endlessly and tangles but is only severed by the inevitable event of death. This leads to a funerary practice of covering the deceased's belly to signify that the ubikani has been cut for good, which also gave birth to the funerary phrase "''The ubikani has been cut.''"
  +
  +
Other belief's about it is that having their belly rubbed by a close friend or loved one, kith or kin, or even someone of higher stature, brings good luck, to both the recipient and the rubber; this is especially observed often during a woman's pregnancy.

  +
==== Swyll'zhor & Ny'kith ====
  +
'''Swyll'zhor & Ny'kith''' (<font face="Tengwar Annatar">3nhÍj¸k9N6 2ÈP 5ÌaT3</font>) are a pair of deities worshiped as the sole god and goddess in Soleil, as well as by some Soleillien Gallique immigrants in Fuso.
  +
  +
'''Swyll'zhor''', also known as the '''Lord of the Sun''', is a solar deity. '''Ny'kith''', also known as the '''Mother of the Moons''', is the lunar deity. Followers of this faith believe that they watch over all during the day and night as they fly across the sky.
  +
  +
Worship of the pair allegedly goes back to when the peninsula was Salrin-dominated, and perhaps predates even the Garvine Empire. Many religiophilosiphers believe that the two were originally Salrin deities, but most modern Salrin religious authorities and experts repudiate this.
  +
  +
Whatever their origin, they were adopted by the Soleillien Kingdom as their god and goddess as they expanded, supplanting Septifidelity almost entirely.

The Kemeti Pantheon is the polytheistic group of deities worshiped in Kemet, and to a lesser extant in the Persian-occupied part of Nubia.
  
−  
−
Most of the deities were originally local gods worshiped in independent communities before the first unified Kemeti Kingdom, though most were believed to have some connection to one another. When the First Kingdom came to be following the ''Wars of Misaphris the Great'', each deity was pulled together into a set that became the full pantheon. The first High Priest of the Pantheon was Imhotep, who later became the pharaoh known to history as '''Imhotep the Pious'''. He was later deified as a member of the pantheon as a healer god.
  
−  
−
All members of the Pantheon have their own dedicated temples and shrines, and several of them, scattered across Nubia, but the pantheon is governed as a whole from the '''Grand Temple''' in Zerzura.

The deities worshiped by the Ostligs in eastern Eurodysia. While Septifidelity, has been encroaching into the lands of the Midgard Peninsula for centuries, and holds great sway particularly in Sverige, the pantheon has remained as the dominant religion of all Ostliger peoples. It is also the sole religion of Asgard. This polytheistic pantheon is divided into two main branches: the Aesir (fem. Asynjur), the major gods and goddesses; the Vanir, the lesser gods and goddess; and then the other gods.

'''Shivajism''', also known as Shivajivad (शिवाजीवाद), is a polytheistic religion that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to Shivaji Prajjadhya, the first abjaksan of [[Ingdjiva]]. It is primarily practiced in Ingdjiva, and is the main religion of the continent, but major powerful sects exist in [[Fuso]] and throughout [[Marlakcor]], where its is held with high regard alongside native religions. Some of the deities have even been incorporated into part of the religion, but may have separate names. Minor sects have been rising to great prominence in parts of Aquilonis in recent centuries. Shivajism has also been spreading to Maritymir through Majapahit.

According to an old Meridiño myth, El Dorado was a Meridiño chieftain who foresaw the coming of an apocalypse in the form of a "falling star." When the falling star appeared in the sky, El Dorado coated himself in liquid gold and chanted a prayer. El Dorado glowed as bright as the sun and the star was repelled back into the sky. El Dorado ceased glowing, but he had sacrificed himself and was rendered a solid gold statue in the pose he maintained while chanting.

The pose of his statue then became the symbol of his worship. While public worship of him has long been suppressed by the Synkratic Church's dominance in the region, a hidden cult dedicated to him still persists.

The Temple of Pleasure is a minor sect that worships a sex and fertility goddess called '''Syrilumei''', who is often depicted as a nude, voluptuous, lascivious, and buxom woman. Followers of this faith consider sex to be a holy and life-affirming act that honors their goddess.

Pagan in origin, the Temple was originally founded in pre-colonial northern Nekcroz by a culture known to history as the ''Niicrukala'' people, but has since spread to most parts of the world. Regardless, the religion remains partially obscure, but it is a popular religion amongst prostitutes, and is therefore often introduced via brothels. It is not uncommon for such occupants to convert.

The myth claims that Leduo descended from the heavens after losing a fight to a superior and evil god (who is known by many names, but the popular one is Krugier), and Aymii nursed him back to health. Leduo eventually fell in love with Aymii and swore to protect her from any danger. Aymii fell in love with Leduo in return and worried that he will never return when he left to defeat the evil god for good, but Leduo prevailed and returned to Aymii's side.

==== The Western Pantheon ====
  
−
The Western Pantheon is a pantheon of deities worshiped in western Eurodysia, primarily by the peoples of the Latium and Akhaian Peninsulas and the island Dell'ovest, predating even the Zedylrian Empire by at least a millennium. It was the dominant faith in these regions before being supplanted by Septifidelity but it is now a minority.

==== Library of Trinity ====
  
−
The '''Library of Trinity''' is an ancient legendary library said to hold thousands of books containing every detail of Qirsyllviar's history and many other subjects besides. Common legends say that the library predates the first [[abjaksan]] by at least two thousand years. No one knows where the library resides or even if it still exists—or if it even existed at all. The library supposedly takes its name from the three groups responsible for it: the Keepers, the Seekers, and the Guardians.
  
−  
−
Legend says that time passes differently within the library; for every hour spent in the building, seven days go by in the real world.
  
−  
−
Administering the Library of Trinity are the Knowledge Keepers, an immortal man and woman – whose names are recorded in history as Markus & Calypso – charged with tending the library.
  
−  
−
Adding to the library's collection is the Knowledge Seekers, whose job is to go out into the world and find some worthwhile knowledge to store in the library. Rumors and legends says that the seekers are recruited, but no one knows from where.
  
−  
−
Guarding the library against unwelcome intruders is the Knowledge Guardians. Legends say that visitors can only enter with the permission of the Keepers or they would be turned to stone by the Guardians. Visitors allowed into the library are watched over by the Guardians to make sure they don't steal anything or desecrate the library in any way.

[[File:Chaos flag.png|left|240x240px]]The '''Church of Chaos''', sometimes known as the '''Dark Church''', the '''Chaos Order''', or the '''Dark Order''', is the hidden church that worships the Gods of Chaos.

−
Under the command of the Great Lord of Chaos, a title that is both religious and militaristic, the Church's primary figure of worship is Voldrazar, the Dark Lord of Chaos who was defeated by the abjaksan, but the church also pays homage to two other chaos deities who were Voldazar's "hands," '''Maldrazell''' and '''Syle'rikinia'''.

−
The CoC also pays homage to chaos deities from other faiths and pantheons as part of a "Pantheon of Chaos."
  
−  
−
The CoC is underground and hidden from public eye, most not even knowing of its existence, save for their mortal enemies, the Order of Eden. But, unlike other dark religions, the followers of the Dark Church are a bit more active through it's armed branch, the [[Qirsyllvian Non-State Organizations & Societies#Army of Chaos|Army of Chaos]]. The purpose of this church is purely conquest, pandemonium, and the genocide of all things "mortal", with their leaders seeking to plunge all of Qirsyllviar into chaos, and most seeking the eventual resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldrazar.
  
−  
−
The Church and the Army together operate under the "Rule of Three." While there may be thousands of men and women in service to the church or the army, there can only be three leading lords at any given time: the Great Lord of Chaos, and his/her two subordinates, the "Left Hand of Chaos" and the "Right Hand of Chaos." The Great Lord is marked by a gold Chaos symbol necklace, while the Left and Right Hands are marked by a chaos necklace that also bears the respective hand.

Religious faith has played a major role in all Qirsyllvian societies throughout history. Worship of just one deity or several or none, and other beliefs, goes back to even before the dawn of Qirsyllvian civilizations.

Religions and their associated rites and rituals are often, but not always, formed and tied around a certain common myth or legend, which are usually centered around one or more legendary figures. This in mind, religions are either polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities; monotheistic, worshiping only one deity; or nonthiestic, worshiping no deity in general.

Individual religious devotion in all societies is, of course, on a spectrum, from devout adherents to those that just go through some of the motions by rote as a cultural norm without actually believing or practicing it. Moreover, some people are irreligious and privately don't believe in any gods or religious systems.

On the other hand, some are so devout to their faith to the point of pure fanaticism. Such zealotry in general is often preached against in most faiths, as it can lead to adherents to taking their faiths and beliefs too far should they interpret them in the most extreme ways.

Tolerance toward other religions and faiths is also on a spectrum, which can range from acceptance to intolerance. Some will openly accept, even appreciate, another faith (sometimes causing the lines between the faiths to blur and merge, leading to the creation of a syncretic faith), while others will view another religion with prejudice and hatred and view its very existence and practices as heresy.

Religious extremism combined with prejudiced intolerance toward other faiths almost always leads to conflict, and often war in the extreme cases.

Major Religions & Mythologies

Abjaksanic Religions

Religions centered around the worship of one, a few, or all of the Abjaksan.

Al-Haqiqa

Main article: Al-Haqiqa

Septifidelity

Main article: Septifidelity

Shantivad

Main article: Shantivad

Monothiestic Religions

Religions centered around the worship of a single deity.

Gadarudara

Gadarudara (Grandmother) is the goddess worshiped by the Nekcr'zii Amazons. Gadarudara is the divine protectress of the islands on which they live, and is believed to be the ancestress of their people.

One of the most noticeable practices is that Nekcr'zii Amazons of all ages and social standing, even royalty, bare their bellies at all times, covering them only when it's too cold. This practice stems from the belief that they are all descendants of Gadarudara and, while a physical umbilical cord are cut at birth, are connected to one another by a cosmic energy via an intangible cord, referred to as an "ubikani," which stretches endlessly and tangles but is only severed by the inevitable event of death. This leads to a funerary practice of covering the deceased's belly to signify that the ubikani has been cut for good, which also gave birth to the funerary phrase "The ubikani has been cut."

Other belief's about it is that having their belly rubbed by a close friend or loved one, kith or kin, or even someone of higher stature, brings good luck, to both the recipient and the rubber; this is especially observed often during a woman's pregnancy.

Isten

Isten is the god worshiped by the Magyars of northern Soligaia.

Led by a Szentatya (equivalent to the Pope of the Synkratic Church, or the Zodje of the Vampiric Pantheon), with

Other religious titles, from highest to lowest, include:

  • Apát
  • Érsek
  • Főesperes
  • lelkész
  • Szerzetes
  • Apáca (a feminine title).

Kanukco

Kanukco (Sky Lord) is a sky deity worshiped mostly by the Pterytiko of the Sky Cities.

Mongolmal

Main article: Mongolmal''

Xirphran

Xirphran is a dragon god worshiped by the Divine Dragon Alliance and their followers. Xirphran is believed to have created the land on which Drakyncia now sits. It is primarily practiced in Drakyncia by the Divine Dragon Alliance and their followers, while there is limited worship by smaller communities around and outside Drakyncia.

Duothiestic Religions

Religions centered around the worship of two deities.

Ta Faludaros

Miglohal and Tuligahal, oftentimes known together as Ta Faludaros (The Founders), are twin gods worshiped in the City of Paititi. According to Paititian mythology, the two were the mortal founders of Paititi and both were deified upon their death. Mythology also claims that the ruling family of Paititi is descended from Tuligahal and a mortal woman known to history as Chelgasi.

Swyll'zhor & Ny'kith

Swyll'zhor & Ny'kith (3nhÍj¸k9N6 2ÈP 5ÌaT3) are a pair of deities worshiped as the sole god and goddess in Soleil, as well as by some Soleillien Gallique immigrants in Fuso.

Swyll'zhor, also known as the Lord of the Sun, is a solar deity. Ny'kith, also known as the Mother of the Moons, is the lunar deity. Followers of this faith believe that they watch over all during the day and night as they fly across the sky.

Worship of the pair allegedly goes back to when the peninsula was Salrin-dominated, and perhaps predates even the Garvine Empire. Many religiophilosiphers believe that the two were originally Salrin deities, but most modern Salrin religious authorities and experts repudiate this.

Whatever their origin, they were adopted by the Soleillien Kingdom as their god and goddess as they expanded, supplanting Septifidelity almost entirely.

Tritheistic Religions

Religions centered around the worship of three deities.

Trinity of Camelot

The Trinity of Camelot is an Albinese religion that revolves around the worship of three figures, two of which were mortal men before ascension to godhood. This faith is almost exclusively worshiped in Albion, but there is some minor worship just beyond the borders. This religion is worshiped alongside Septifidelity, the main religion of Albion.

Triad Member Personification Historicity & Other notes
Arthurine Pendragon Honor & Chivalry Often simply known as Queen Arthurine, was Camelot's first queen and the founder of the matriarchal Pendragon dynasty. The daughter of Uther Pendragon, a legendary Albin-Fordar lord of Nghelt-descent, Arthurine was a legendary warrior, and alleged demigod, who founded Camelot through the overthrow of her uncle, Vortigern the Cruel, during Petty Kingdoms Period of High Albion. Deified upon his death.
Myrddin Magic & Learning A legendary Nghelt magician, Myrddin was the Grand Sorcerer of Camelot in life.

Dwarven Pantheon

The polytheistic religion of the Geminian Dwarves. Unlike most pantheons, the figures of the Dwarven Pantheon were actual legendary historical figures that were posthumously deified for the deeds they did. However, even with supposedly reliable historical records, whether or not they actually existed or did these deeds are hard to prove.

Ancestory Deity Representation Historicity & Other notes:
Akarak God of Mining and Stoneworking Historically, he was a dwarven miner-turned-architect who constructed a vast city, known to history as Fralgronik, within a vast cavern. The location of the city has been lost to history, though most adventurers retain hope of finding it.
Calrik God of Warriors Historically, he was a dwarven general-turned-emperor and genius military commander in the ancient Dwarven empire of Ral'saric. He led a revolt that overthrew a tyrannical dwarven dynasty, and founded a new one with himself as emperor. Both before and after his ascension, he led armies, expanded the borders of Ral'saric, and remained undefeated to the end of his days.
Hargrac God of Ale, Beer & Beermaking Historically, he was the creator of the recipe of modern Dwarven Beer and Ale, which many peoples all over Qirsyllviar continue to enjoy.
Grazgrim God of Death and Ruler of the Underworld Historically, he was a dwarven general that accomplished many victories in the name of his king. However, he eventually developed a fetish for killing so strong that he went rogue and on a killing spree; everywhere he went, bloodshed followed. He was eventually slain and his head left on a pike. As punishment, he was condemned to hell, where he eventually became its ruler, deified as the god of death.
Kazrakor The God of Smithing The divine patron of all dwarven smiths. Historically, he was a master blacksmith that forged the Sword of Karkadraz, the personal blade of Karkadraz, history's first known dwarven king.
Valkyra Goddess of Healing Historically, she was a dwarven nurse who invented many healing techniques that continue to be used today. She was also charitable and helped anyone in need no matter what it cost her.

The Enneamagi

White mages star

The nine-pointed star of the Enneamagi

The Enneamagi were a group of nine of renowned sorcerers and sorceresses of various cultures across Qirsyllviar during various time periods. These nine mages were powerful magic-users performed feats that are now regarded almost to mythological standards and were brought together into a pantheon of magic for their deeds almost a thousand years before modern time. The founders of this faith later founded a nation of magic known to history as the Sorcerer's Republic of Rioclyier, in the region the Confederation of Czi'kolgyar now resides. At the same time, they founded the Rioclyier Academy of Magic. Several decades after their deaths, the Rioclyier Republic fell apart due to what history remembers as the Great War of Magic, but the academy remains. The faith has become the dominant religion of Czi'kolgyar, and is popular with other magic users everywhere.

Each of the Enneamagi represents a different specialty of magic.

The nine Enneamagi are:

Other Religions, Legends & Mythologies

Minor Religions & Mythologies

Some religions and churches are little known despite many followers, are just recently founded cults, or have few followers outside their place of origin. Most are simply not worshiped outside a confined region, usually where they were founded, or are just not extent enough to be counted amongst the major religions of the world.

Cult of El Dorado

El Dorado is a pagan golden deity worshiped by the Meridiño.

According to an old Meridiño myth, El Dorado was a Meridiño chieftain who foresaw the coming of an apocalypse in the form of a "falling star." When the falling star appeared in the sky, El Dorado coated himself in liquid gold and chanted a prayer. El Dorado glowed as bright as the sun and the star was repelled back into the sky. El Dorado ceased glowing, but he had sacrificed himself and was rendered a solid gold statue in the pose he maintained while chanting.

The pose of his statue then became the symbol of his worship. While public worship of him has long been suppressed by the Synkratic Church's dominance in the region, a hidden cult dedicated to him still persists.

The Ocean God

The Ocean God, popularly known as "Aequor," is a sea deity popular with seamen of all races. Followers believe that he creates all the natural phenomena that occurs at sea, storms, waves, maelstroms, etc. either to help them get to where they need to be, or to divert them because they're not meant to reach their destination.

Temple of Pleasure

The Temple of Pleasure is a minor sect that worships a sex and fertility goddess called "Syrilumei", who is often depicted as a nude, voluptuous, lascivious, and buxom woman. Followers of this faith consider sex to be a holy and life-affirming act that honors their goddess.

Pagan in origin, the Temple was originally founded in pre-colonial northern Nekcroz by a culture known to history as the Niicrukala people, but has since spread to most parts of the world. Regardless, the religion remains partially obscure, but it is a popular religion amongst prostitutes, and is therefore often introduced via brothels. It is not uncommon for such occupants to convert.

This religion is popular with succubi and incubi as well. Consequently, to those who don't know better, it is believed that Syrilumei is a deified succubus, but practitioners of the faith staunchly claim and believe otherwise.

The Sky God and the Ocean Goddess

The Sky God and the Ocean Goddess, better known by their proper names Leduo and Aymili respectively, are a pair a lover deities worshiped solely in the island Republic of Gargantia.

The myth claims that Leduo descended from the heavens after losing a fight to a superior and evil god (who is known by many names, but the popular one is Krugier), and Aymii nursed him back to health. Leduo eventually fell in love with Aymii and swore to protect her from any danger. Aymii fell in love with Leduo in return and worried that he will never return when he left to defeat the evil god for good, but Leduo prevailed and returned to Aymii's side.

Every year, festivals are held to commemorate the loving reunion of Leduo and Aymii.

It is believed that Leduo and Aymii left several children in the mortal world, and several people claim descent from them, but these claims are difficult to prove.

Followers of the faith believe that Leduo was a human while Aymii was a mermaid.

Heaven, the Underworld & Hell

The concepts of Heaven and Hell, the afterlife and damnation, are common beliefs across the world. It is universal belief that the Spirit World is made up of two or layers, and heaven and hell represent some of them. Almost all religious faiths speak of heaven and hell in some measure, and all believe that whichever one moves on to upon death is subject to a judgement by some higher power, particularly a specific god that represents the afterlife.

Heaven

Heaven, the realm of the afterlife, is where people supposedly go when they have a good life.

Heaven and the afterlife is known by many names in different cultures and religions.

Xatar Term for heaven Xotil culture.

Underworld & Hell

While also a physical place beneath the surface of Qirsyllviar, the spiritual concepts of the underworld and hell are often used interchangeably, and are sometimes confusingly believed to be one and the same, but it is most commonly believed that the underworld and hell are two layers of the same plane away from the world of the living, with hell considered lower than the underworld.

The Underworld, sometimes known as Limbo, is the realm of the dead, where the dead reside before judgement. Hell is the realm of the damned, where those who have committed grave sins in their life spend the rest of eternity. Some cultures describe Hell as a blazing inferno of fire and lava, while other sources describe it as a frigid frozen wasteland.

Those who have committed a grave sin in their life are usually condemned to eternity in Hell, the believed lower part of the underworld, or to simply remain in the underworld forever.

Some cultures and faiths have no concept of the underworld, only hell, and so refer to the underworld as limbo, or the ghostly plane, the netherworld, or the astral plane, where they await judgement before being sent on. Other cultures and faiths have no concept of hell, only the underworld, and so believe that the damned walk in the underworld for eternity, unable to move on to the afterlife.

The Underworld and Hell are known by many names in different cultures and religions, and are sometimes considered one and the same, or have no concept of one or the other.

The church's primary practices include living sacrifices to Satan, and the race doesn't matter.

Cult of the Sins

Sin Star

Inverted star of the Cult of Sins

  • Salroka: The god worshiped by the Salrin people before the introduction of Septifidelity.
  • Zedylrian Pantheon: The polytheistic pantheon worshiped by the ancient Zedylri of the Zedylrian Empire, and, for a time, the successor states.

Aside for that one remaining mark, very few people remember what the names of the many deities were.
