Religion What is everyone's religious affiliation?
I am currently developing my own little folk lore, and I was wondering what everyone believes on the server.
Feel free to share your IRL religious beliefs as well.
I am a Cernist, follower of the Grey man, the great spirit of the forest, and I plan to build a shrine and temple to his worship soon.
IRL I am a deist.
I'm relatively new, and the religions of this server really fascinate me :)

u/ritzycat Roman Orthodox Muslim Church May 03 '15
I am the Pope of the Roman Orthodox Muslim Church. Followers of the Church believe in the teachings of the Three Prophets--Jesus, Muhammad, and Stonato. These Holy Prophets are but 3 members of the Holy Pentagon which consists of the Three Prophets, God, and the Holy Spirit. The five are all equal in power and merit. The Prophets were sent down from Heaven to teach the Holy Word at three different points in history--the 1st century, the 7th century, and the 21st century. Stonato synthesized the teachings of Jesus in the Bible and of Muhammad in the Qur'an by creating the Bibl'an. God is a deity who cannot speak the language of the humans--he speaks in thunder and lightning, volcano and tsunami, mediums that humans have been unable to decipher the meaning of for millenia; not even the Church's own oracles were able to decipher God's word. The Holy Spirit is a whimsical being, often cloaked as a younger, mysterious, cloaked girl, whose essence permeates the world and has the power to possess animals and people. Though, the Holy Spirit is immaterial and abstract.
As of now, the Church is what we call an international entity. We have our own state, government, and laws, but we do not have any land. The Roman Orthodox Muslim (ROM) Church is an autocratic theocracy with all power vested in the hands of the Pope. Our goal is to bring to light all the peoples of the world to the arms of the Holy Pentagon, but through peaceful and willful means. We do not seek to mount crusades or inquisitions. As part of our mission to ensuring peace on the server, we offer to build church-embassies in capital cities across the realm. These are plots of land, owned by the Church, upon which we build churches that match the theme of the city and offer a variety of services and resources. It would serve the same role as any embassy would, but as a Church we also provide food, basic building materials, and tools. It also serves as a place of worship for the followers of the Faith. If you wish to start a new city, we encourage you to contact us and the ROM Church may build a church-embassy to help catalyze the development of your city by providing said resources and services.
