Arianism

Arianism is a polytheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Arin. Its adherents, known as Arians, believe that Arin was a prophet chosen by The Sixteen to spread their word throughout the world of Tane.

The Sixteen
The Sixteen are the pantheon of deities worshipped by Arians. Comprised of eight gods and eight goddesses, the pantheon is led by Ariadne, the goddess of day and time, and Katreus, the god of night and dreams.

Zanir & Edea: The Creators
According to the Arian Codex, Zanir and his wife Edea were the creators of the world of Tane and the father and mother of The Sixteen.

Zanir and Edea drew the enmity of their children when they destroyed the island of Aztlan in a fit of fear and paranoia. Their eldest twins, Ariadne and Katreus, took up arms against them and first slew their mother. From the blood of Edea that spilled on Tane, the Beastkin races were produced.

The Sixteen defeated Zanir soon after and banished him into the Underworld.

Arin
The central tenet of Arianism is the belief in Arin as a prophet and a teacher. Arians believe that Arin was chosen by The Sixteen to be the savior of the world of Tane.

Ascension
Arians consider Arin's ascension to be the cornerstone of their faith and the most important event in the history of the world. According to the Arian Codex, Arin journeyed to the top of Mount Daverus outside the city of Aven and was allowed into heaven by the guide of the dead.

Death and afterlife
Most Arians believe that the souls of the dead are guided by ??? to the underworld, where they face judgment based on their deeds in life.

Elysium is where the souls of the virtuous are sent. It is said to be a paradise where the inhabitants live in peace for eternity.

Asphodel is where the souls of the neutral are sent.

Acheron is where the souls of the wicked and the evil are sent. There, they are tortured by their own guilt and sins for eternity.
