Concisus Numinis/Summary

Summary

For those who may find the entire beliefs page somewhat daunting, this summary outlines the basic beliefs and dogmas within Concisus Numinis.

The basic idea that runs throughout the entire church is that all of "reality" (which includes fairly ethereal things, like spirits, gods and ideas, as well as the more mundane earth we know personally) is fragments of our patron deity, The Shattered God. Humanity's duty is to unite these fragments into one whole. Humanity itself is a fragment of god, and so Numinites are devoted to uniting humanity through conquest or quill.

God was shattered after an eternal war against an evil force, after evil invented time as its weapon and used it to defeat God, which was forced to fragment itself in order to avoid death. Many fragments have the ability to regenerate themselves, from the mundane things like life itself to ideas and philosophies which are passed down the generations, avoiding time's embrace.

Concisus Numinites have a fixation on order, as well as on an absolute sense of morality. Anything that is evil is actively corrupting the shards of God and so must be destroyed; anything chaotic is preventing the reformation of god and thus also must be defeated.

The abominations all represent aspects of evil's corruption of earth; monsters represent the corruption of nature, undead the corruption of man, and daimons the corruption of the higher planes.

Numinites also believe that the faith and its divine purpose is the reason for all life, and thus must be thought of as the motivator for all activities, from fighting to farming to politics, all must be done in service of God's reformation.

We also embrace an aspect of reality known as the "duality". This dogma states that men must live a complete life, understanding both the brutal and merciful sides of nature, mankind, and the heavens.
