Scaeptre Religion

The

Three Deities
The faith practiced in Scaeptre claim in the beginning there were two gods: the Sky and the Sea. They were lovers, and from their love originated a child: Earth.

the Sky
The Sky, also called the Heavens, He, or the God Above, is depicted as the father of the world. He is beardless but stern, and judges his people rightfully. He is the cause of all weather conditions, and all these have different meanings. When it storms, he is angry and punishes the people. When it rains or when the sun shines, he is satisfied and grants his people a good harvest or a beautiful day. The Sky has two eyes to gaze upon his world: Sun and Moon. He guides his people with the light from them and protects them.

the Sea
The Sea, also called the Oceans, She, or the Goddess Below, is depicted as the mother of the world. She is pictured as forever expecting, for the seas perpetually provide Earth with necessary water and life. Everyone who praises her see her as the mother of all humans and animals, for she provides life. Without water, there would be no life. Pregnant women pray beside her waters and drink from her purest sources. People thank her for providing a safe passage across the seas, and pray to her before departing. It is believed she still resides deep in the oceans in her palace of grand magnitude, to be close to her child forever.

the Earth
The Earth, also called the Lands or Our God, is depicted as the humble and strong son of Sky and Sea. He is a warrior and seen as the father of humans. He looks like a prince and had many sons and daughters, who are all called demigods. Among these are Flame and Star, but also the first two humans: King Vyrron and Queen Mulyera. They reproduced and inhabited the world quickly. It is said they still live somewhere in Scaeptre in a place no one knows or is able to find without some devine power. Earth is prayed to for a solid harvest, safe travels across country, and strength for one's child, as Earth is the father of all humans and presides over them.

Demigods
Four demigods were named before, but all elements and aspects of life can be devine forms, but most are nameless and are only prayed to once in a while. This is mostly when something specific is needed.

Establishments
No complicated organization is needed for the Worshipping, but several establishments of pious men and women exist, and most of them are in nature or close to the sea. Others can be found on top of mountains, so they are close to the Sky. The head of the Worshipping is called the Hyrarch, the Son of the Earth, or His Chosen. He or she is chosen once the former Hyrarch passes away, in a sacred ceremony in a secret place. The true Worshippers stay secluded from society, but some come to the cities and express their beliefs.
