Other Religion Ideas

The Empirical/Caledon one (Essentially our main one we’ll probably see)


 * Catholic and eastern orthodoxy references, as there’s probably more liberal vs. more conservative strains.
 * There’s a “god” up top from 1 of the dieties listed, everyone else serves as a type of patron saint rather than an individual god (revisionism is probably a big thing).
 * Acting as a kind of messiah figure is an unnamed person that gives a kind of mythos about the beginning of people getting magic (Maybe how this person was so good the god gifted magic to humans?) Underneath them in Caledon texts is The Champion (Astrid and Rupert’s ancestor), a strong woman that fought back some kind of great evil that came from over the mountains.
 * - Ideally, this religion also serves as a way to suppress or explain the need to suppress affinity users (or monitor them). This is reasoned with by the church that magic was used to defend; but technology outweighs what affinity users can use.

Raubasten/Erias Religion (Kinda similar but more gothic looking)


 * Everyone’s seen as equal gods in the pantheon. The messiah and champion aren’t portrayed.
 * They want to hoard affinity users for their own power and actively work with the empire’s church to get their goal.

Nubit’s Religion (Tashi)


 * The monks at the high mountain peaks believe in a greater cosmos or power that transcends what the Eastern religions provide. Much more connected to nature and the magic in the planet.
 * They don’t get along with the empire. Why Tashi and his father aren’t well liked among higher social circles.
