Communionism

Communionism is a new religion based on an old custom - namely, that of Communion with otherworldly spirits, usu. through the directed use of ikrif. The custom originates in the southlands of the Far East, where the plant itself naturally grows.


Temples

Since Communion is not a necessarily theistic religion, its temples are not dedicated to the glory of any deities, and therefore their style is less grand. They are, in fact, places of study and guidance more than worship.

Taop

Communionism
Continent Far East
Founder Maltheo and AJ
Main Temple Taop, Antoza Commonwealth
Temples 3
Followers 22,845 commoners
Noble Followers 11 nobles
Priests 1
Shrines 3
Constructed By: AJ
Temple Size: Small Temple
Est. Believers: 9,000


This temple was the first dedicated to the order of Communionism. It is small and constructed of wood. It rests on a hill nearly on the outskirts of the city, and is rather plain compared to most older temples of the city.

Inside, the space is plain and the floorboards form an interesting, but not ornate, pattern. There are no statues, of gods or men, to be seen. Scribes, as if in an academy, carefully write on scrolls, some of which hang on the farthest wall.

Azros

Constructed By: Corey
Temple Size: Medium Temple
Est. Believers: 9,200

This temple was the second constructed in the Commonwealth and it earned Corey the title of Builder of the Temple. Typical of the Communionist style, the building is small and plain, though it is now the largest of the Communionist temples.

Anacan

Constructed By: Olwe of Toren
Temple Size: Medium Temple
Est. Believers: 18,799

The third temple was constructed when the League of Anacan was formed, as part of a reciprocal promise made to Maltheo (the other part being a large investment of gold by the latter in the City). This temple is also accompanied by 1 shrine within the city.
