Erecund is a religion based around one mayor god and eight spirits prodominant in Nestor and the Ekhijal sea region. The religion is based around eight morals who are deprived from the eight months of the year and one gate keeper of the soul. The god of the soul, creates, judges and destroys souls. The god of the soul created the world of mortals to test the souls it created. The souls who deemed as good are entering the spiritual world of the god of the soul and the souls that are deemed bad destroyed.

History

The spread of Erecund

Erecund is an old religion near modern day Atregonia on Anaria Mayor. The religion spread all over the continent with help from the XX empire. The empire was known for its seafaring people who brought the religion to Nestor where the Erinic Empire was created with the Erecund religion at its core.

The Erecund - Orkanan conflict

In Stoldavia the Orkanan religion came into conflict the Erecund people's in Anaria mayor. The Erecund nation got pushed further south and east with Atregionia protected by the moutains and Nestor protected by the Straights of Stelneck.

Modern day

In the modern day the relgion has two mayor nation holding on to the religion but there are also people following Erecund in other nations.

Symbols

The god of the soul is depicted in the Erecund symbol by the central star which is surrounded by eight points wich depict the eight spirits. The circle around the symbol shows the barrier between the world of the spirts and the gods and the world of the mortals.

Beliefs

Central Deity - The God of the Soul

At the heart of Erecund beliefs is the god of the soul, who is responsible for creating and safeguarding the souls of individuals. This deity grants souls to newborns and collects them upon their death. The concept of the soul and its journey is central to Erecund theology, as it is believed that the god of the soul judges individuals based on their adherence to the religion's values. The afterlife and the judgment process are significant aspects of Erecund spirituality.

Eight Guiding Spirits

The Erecund pantheon comprises eight guiding spirits, each symbolizing specific aspects of the human mind and offering guidance for self-improvement.

  1. Humiltatea, the spirit of Humility, who teaches mortals the importance of modesty and self-awareness.
  2. Aitortza, the spirit of Gratitude, who encourages people to appreciate and acknowledge the blessings in their lives.
  3. Indartsua, the spirit of Courage, who inspires bravery in the face of adversity and fear.
  4. Justizia, the spirit of Justice, who upholds fairness, equity, and the rule of law.
  5. Bikotea, the spirit of Generosity, who advocates for acts of kindness and charity towards others.
  6. Diziplina, the spirit of Discipline, who teaches the value of self-control, focus, and dedication.
  7. Fedea, the spirit of Faith, who promotes trust, belief, and unwavering confidence in oneself and in others.
  8. Berdintasuna, the spirit of Equality, who champions the principles of fairness and treating all individuals with the same respect and consideration.

These gods serve as moral and psychological compasses for followers, helping them navigate life's challenges and cultivate virtues. The stories and teachings associated with these gods likely serve as parables and allegories, imparting valuable lessons to the faithful.

Faith, Hope, and Prayer

These three pillars—faith, hope, and prayer—form the foundation of Erecund spirituality. Faith in the gods helps followers build resilience and maintain a positive outlook in the face of adversity. Hope is instilled through the belief in the afterlife, offering a sense of purpose and motivation to live virtuously. Prayer is the means through which followers express their devotion, seek guidance, and offer gratitude to the gods.

The Afterlife

In Erecund, the afterlife holds profound significance. It is seen as a realm of reward and spiritual growth, accessible to those who have lived virtuous lives and passed the judgment of the god of the soul. This next universe is a paradise-like realm where the righteous continue to evolve spiritually, striving for enlightenment and transcendence. The afterlife serves as a beacon of hope for adherents, encouraging them to lead moral and virtuous lives.
