Conceptional Religion (work in progress)

Basically the concept is to construct a religion that aims to be most successful in uniting as much followers as possible under a strong, unfaltering moral cause. Explaining life and answering many philosophical questions(thus partially killing philosophy) as merely a tool to get into the heavens where there is eternal bliss. This tool(life) can only be used(lived) by the right rules to succeed and enter the heavens. The faith leaves some openness for different personal ways of interpretation, however holds strongly to these moralities in what is good and what is evil. The faith does not acknowledge much of a middle way, you are either good and go to the heavens or you are evil and go to hell. It gives the followers a way to succeed in life, or to win so to say.(a common reason, drive in life) Although each man is born into a different caste we are all gods children and are all born in sins due to the deceit of one man, turning all of humanity against god, a faithful life and its moral rules. It is there for every mans (individual) responsibility to undo humanity from this 'curse' and also this religions main goal. Salvation!

Book of Faith

In the beginning of all beginnings before any thing like the world, time or humans existed, there where many gods who lived in blissful peace untill one day one of them started to create something of his own. The other gods became furious as conflicts erupted around possesion and heritage. Eventually the conflict erupted in a massively vicious fight, the gods fought and colloured the entire universe red with there blood untill only one god stood victorious and proofed him self the strongest. He drank all the godly blood and created the entire universe for his own in a single swipe with his hands, becoming all powerful.

When he finished the earth with it’s beutiful flora and fauna, he created the first two humans as a specie to his own example; a women and a man and he named her Amber and he named him Ewald. The humans where special above all other species for they have been blessed by the concious of gods, a part of the devine blood, drank by the one and only, had been passed threw by god, into the veins of Amber and Ewald granting them the ability to stand above the other species as the children of god. Blessed with the devine conciousness and intelligence, Amber and Ewald discovered love and beauty and from there beautiful romance, 6 children where born, 3 sons and 3 daughters and all went well untill they grew and became the first to question there parents rule. After the age of 16, they went there own way and found there own families elsewhere in total isolation from there parents in far away forrrests, where they reproduced with human like animals living in the forrests, who shared the same fysical features, without the blessing of the devine conciousness of god. These sons and daughters of Amber and Ewald where lost and there kind degenerated into mostly simple minded brutes. Some, who lived further in the Forrest degenerated them selves to the simplest of tools and lived from fruits alone.

Others who kept more of there devine human aspects, trained them selves in martial arts, wisedom and loyalty and served the purest decendants who started to rule the lands as lord, hence the warriors bloodline, hence the noble bloodline. Fortunatly, not all of the first born had cast them self from there parents. One of there daughters, by the name of Yanah remained concious, respectful and obiedant to her parents and conceived a pure child of devine blood. The childs name was Khan and so the first King of Kings was born.

With the greatest wit and wisedom of the land, he created order amongst all men and ruled over it’s lands as a strong and wise leader. All went well untill one day a deceitful man from noble blood spread a virus of hate amongst the lands against there beloved king. Lacking the devine conscious of god, people could’nt understand for them selves what or why King Khan was doing the things he did. All they saw, while poisoned by the words of this deceitful man, was a weak old man trying to keep his family in power as a sovereign ruling power. So all castes joined behind this noble and King Khan was cast from his throne. He and his family banished as an effect of it. The noblemen ruled the land for only a short time, untill the whole land became completly divided by it’s people. No one was able to rule as King without corupting there minds and hearts and no one worshiped it’s king as they did before. During this time of transit, many stories where written, one with the most significant meaning to the faith. The story of Hero Han, the fearless zealous young warrior that had slain over a tousand men in the course of the 3 days of the initial revolt. He repels attack after attack against the fearful and faithless soldiers and rumors went that by far most of the people he killed, where fleeing, showing the incredible power of faith over the faithless. While all the people had resented the faith in god and the heavens that await us, Hero Han kept his strong and eventually died in complete satisfaction by the sword of a rebel, of whom he killed a thousand times more, knowing that god would have reserved the greatest place in heaven for he with the strongest faith.

All it’s lands would be cursed for eternity and it’s humanity punished and punished into seemingly endless torture, weakened by greed, humanity would never be strong enough to lift the curse and defeat the evil they’ve created. Untill the Kingdom is restored and humanity united again. For the prophecy says that after many generations, the holy bloodline, by then split into two families will be reunited under a passionate love. From this holy marriage, the great and prosperous Kingdom will rise from the cursed ashes again. The time of salvation will be marked by a peak of chaos and destruction, where humanity is most divided and destroyed then ever. The earth shall be lifted from darkness, so beauty and order may once more be restored and things will be as they once where. This book of faith will be redug from the ashes covered earth and god will speak once more threw it’s prophets. The mark of god will show in a holy marriage between King Khans pure decedents and they will be worshiped as gods by it’s people to bring order, law, unity and glory to the blessed promised lands of the one and only true god. And under these order of things, all people will live prosperity and peace under a strong and glorious nation.

A place in the heavens amongst the saints awaits every pure and devoted soul, where they will stay in ultimate bliss for an eternity. The great souls of prophets, priests, heroes and saints watch over the world below in wisedom in some cases influence the course of action below. There eternal mercy blesses even the wicked who pray.

The burning fires of hell awaits those who question there faith or King and/or are sinful. After the fall of Khan, this first sin marked a wave of chaos and sinful behaviour. A great prophet of that time, High priest Aaron, received the word of god, granting him the gift of the tablet of sin, describing all the sinful behaviour since the fall of Khan to the cursed and blinded people, which unfortunately fell to deaf ears. The burning fires of hell house everything that stands for chaos and evil and is guarded and ruled by dark angels, who are partly the cursed souls of the first great evil sinners. Dark angels are cursed in hell for an eternity and draw it’s power from human sins and destruction. When they become powerful enough, they pour from the earth into the world to destroy all of mankind in it’s eternal curse. Salvation shall lift the curse and defeat the dark angels once and for all.

Religious Rituals and traditions

The birth of Khan, comercial celibration, people buy presents for family members and go to theatrical plays about his birth, the celibration contains a holiday of one week. Women primarily focus on worshiping Yanah idols during this week, the mother of the Great Khan.

The fall of Khan, the whole mythology is played out on a street theater act.

A royal blood becomes 16, everybody stops working that day and many go to the public inuaguration by the high priests of the church.

The winter solstice, soldiers and peasant celibration day, where people celibrate the end of winter by many massive bon fires.

The summer solstice, peasant and soldiers celibration where people thank god for the many hours of light and pray for a mercyful winter to come, temples are well visited.

Genesis day, where the gods victory amonsgt the others is celibrated in a large martial arts festival, theres also a parade for the red, soldiers bloodline and the military plus the king and his family, this is also new years celibration, from this day the new year starts, it’s just before winter solstice. bon fires are also lit on this day.

Day of the Heroes, people visit the graves of fallen heroes which are worshiped that day and remembered in a military ceremony and theatrical plays where grand battles are renacted in the open, sometimes over a tousand actors join the enactment. Of which the most popular plays is that of Hero Han against over a thousand enemies. It’s espeicaly an important day for the soldiers caste and the soldiers caste amongst nobles(those born from a hero).

Day of enlightment, Celibration day for knowledge, wisedom, literature, music and arts. Royal compititions are held for special anual rewards and titles amongst writers and artists in an official ceremony. Only nobles are nominated for these competitions.

Marriage and birth rituals are very important which during the marriage between the two lost families is remembered or prayn for(which ever may be the case in course of time), or, in the case of birth, the birth Amber and Ewalds children is remembered.

Each caste also have there specific rites during any of these rituals. with the most extreme example of warrior castes, making sure the baby is strong enough before even 'accepting' it as there son or daughter.

Saints and Heroes

A special place in heavens and in the hearts of humanity on earth are granted for Heroes and saints, those with zealously undoubtful faith. Those who would die without fear, those who'd contribute everything and there whole life to a religious life and are able to achieve great things from this mentality. These men are so powerful in there faith that they will sit among st there fellow kind as angels in the heavens to watch over the earth and thus keep in emotional/mental though with humanity, for many there enlightenment causes the inability to understand there reasoning let alone the reasoning of god. Thats is why allthough seen as devine, angels/saints/heroes are seen as an inspiration, and idol an example to live up to. The faiths life restricts every castes extremely to the life of that particular caste, but for every caste it is possible to become one of these angels. It is not so important how great your effects are as how much courage, effort and honor you put in your mission in the eyes of god.

Below are listed several of the most worshiped saints and heroes of the faith:

  • Ewald - first man to walk the earth and worship god, founded the first family and made humanity possible
  • Amber - First Women to walk the earth and worship god, founded the first family and made humanity possible
  • Yanah - the obedient and respectful child that conceived a child of the pure and holy bloodline, it's child was Khan, the first and only King.
  • Khan - The first king, the one who founded civilization and who showed the world what faith can bring humanity, he ruled for many decades until people started to forget the state of nature, without Khans rule and a deceitful man incited a revolt to overthrow him, thanks to several heroic soldiers, Khan survived with the holy bloodline.
  • Hero Han - the greatest hero in history of man kind, showed unwavering faith in the defense of his King, killed a thousand before he was slain him self, the fight took 3 days.
  • Prophet Aaron - the great prophet that showed the post revolution world there sins and there effects and made a very important tablet describing the sins of the world. What should have been a refreshing lesson fell to deaf ears and humanity only fell into a deeper tragedy.

A clear example of where one of the greatest saints ever, never really achieved anything during his life on earth showing that it is actually the effort, the unwavering faith that is what counts.
