[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 8767133, member: 6855223"] [B]Theology[/B]: Though the community is heavily populated by former residents of Asylim. These residents have forsaken their previous religious rituals for The Maelstrom and The Burning Sun. The Centrin residents, most of whom are formerly from Boga City. The other residents, such as Rheini and Spiofthests, have various rituals and beliefs from their former nomadic and tribal lifestyles, but they are almost identical to those of the Centrins. There is no official religion and no restrictions on any faith, though blood sacrifice is not acceptable in town. The Life god, whose symbol is the Wind, is commonly called Benevolence and is the dominant deity. His symbol is represented by a line that is curled back on itself, about half way from one side, leaving the remainder extended. Most believers wear a symbol made from wood. Sacrifice of blood is not made, but time for ritual is offered instead, credit for the inspiration or invention is given, and wealth or labor is donated for honorary constructions. The opposition to Benevolence is called Malevolence. She is represented by a small piece of cord with three knots, which is almost never openly displayed. Two minor deities are represented by the world’s two moons. Harmony, the name for the silver moon, is believed to be female, and she controls the seasonal changes in temperature, which affect the production and germination of most seeds. Bounty, the name for the orange moon, is believed to be male, and he controls seasonal rains, which affect crop growth and animal health. During the Chilling Season, when the silver moon is full and the orange moon is missing, small gifts are imparted to others outside of one’s own family, secretly and anonymously, as a gesture of Harmony. During Harvest Season, when the orange moon is full and the silver moon is missing, if the harvests were good, hedonistic festivals are held where attendees are masked and copious amounts of alcohol are consumed. If the harvests were poor, a great fire is ignited in the roadway, in homage to Bounty, and alcohol is splashed into the fire in order to garner a more favorable return in the following cycle. The road is the safest place to build such a fire. Malevolence is believed to have coupled with three separate mortals to give rise to the minor deities of Malice, Misfortune, and Injustice. Malice is believed to be male, while the other two are believed to be female. The three work to inflict misery upon the lives of people, especially people with a sense of altruism. By immaculate conception, Benevolence is believed to have impregnated three different mortal women to give birth to three minor deities to oppose Malice, Misfortune, and Injustice. These three deities are Charity, Fortune, and Justice. These three are called upon to give hope to the people. Charity and Fortune are considered to be female, while Justice is considered to be male. Fortune, also called Luck, has acquired quite a following in the entire region, which is spreading into other regions as well, as people perform a ritual of tossing a coin over ones own shoulder or into running water, in order increase the odds of a better future.
