[quote=@Aristo] Alrighty, I have a new idea for Cimbrian Orthodoxy. Let me know what you think: [hider]Cimbrian Orthodoxy is a local denomination of Ilinucism that adheres closely to the religion’s original beliefs, with some key differences. Cimbria has no Arch Matriarch or Patriarch; the Valarn is the de facto religious leader in the state. In religious matters, however, the Valarn functions exactly as they do in other Ilinucist nations. With the apparent fall of Ethea, Cimbrian Orthodoxy promotes Eln as Ilinucism’s new religious capital. The tenets of Cimbrian Orthodoxy are a close match to original Ilinucism. What distinguishes it is its desire to maintain balance in the natural world. With the unpredictable nature of Magalis as evidence, one wrong deed, one misstep could spell disaster. It is believed that Aketa’s consorts, Fengri and Kafto, are locked in eternal struggle for supremacy over the sky. Aketa watches her lovers do battle in the cycle of the day and night, unable to stop their warring. Their powers wax and wane, manifest in the seasons. Winter is when Fengri is strongest, for the days are shorter. Summer comes when Kafto has the advantage, as the days are longer. If either god should defeat the other, then Illyrica would be locked in total day, or total night. This upset in balance and the loss of a lover would break Aketa’s heart, and Magalis would engulf everything in a storm of raw emotion. To prevent this disaster, Cimbrian Orthodoxy promotes ritual sacrifice and bloodletting. The souls of the sacrificed ascend to the heavens, where they fight for either Fengri or Kafta, depending on the season and the time of day. Thus, their contribution helps to maintain cosmic balance and keeps Magalis from destroying Illyrica. These souls do not fight for eternity; eventually, even the sacrificed must return to Aketa’s embrace. Therefore, sacrifices must be made for all of time, on designated calendrical days.[/hider] [/quote] I think it's great
