Church of Adanos
The church devoted to Adanos.
Has members all over the world.
Its members believe that any creature, plant and the water are holy. They are to be treated with extreme respect and any unnecessary loss of life is a crime against Adanos. If one is to take a life it is only for food or for self defence.
Divine Origins
Before written time, Adanos appeared to a small number of people and showed them how he formed his creations and asked them to speak to him every now and then.
Ever since then his followers began spreading the word of Adanos and began developing life philosophies dedicated to honour him.
Cosmological Views
It is written in ancient scrolls that Adanos told his followers the following:
After Innos had created Adanos and Beliar as his equals, Innos and Beliar were often fighting with Beliar destroying the light of Innos and Innos destroying the darkness of Beliar. A continuous cycle of chaos. Adanos saw this and knew that like this, there may never be order or peace. No light and no darkness. So he stood between his brothers to bring an end to their fighting but he did not succeed. But there where Adanos stood, sprung into existance a place where Innos and Beliar held no power, and at this place was chaos and order at once. So was the ocean born and the ocean gave way to the land where Adanos created the trees, birds, animals and lastly the humanoids. Adanos saw what he had created and he was happy, he loved all of his creations in equal measure. But so great was the anger Beliar's that he came to the land and chose the animal. Beliar spoke to it and the animal became his servant. Beliar gave the animal part of his godly power so that it may destroy the land. Innos saw what had happened so he too came to the land and chose the humanoid. Innos spoke to them and the humanoid became his servant. Innos gave the humanoid part of his godly power so that it may stop the servants of Beliar, so Beliar spoke to another being but Adanos let a great flood come to wash away this being. But with it, he washed away the trees, birds, animal and humanoid. Adanos saw what had happened and a great sadness overcame him. So Adanos spoke to his brothers: "Never shall you step foot on the land again for it is holy and so it shall be." However after restoring his creations, the animal and humanoid continued to wage war against one another and the anger of the gods was with them. The humanoid slayed the animal and it went into Beliar's realm. Adanos saw that chaos and order were now unbalanced and he asked Innos to take his godly power away from the humanoid. Innos in his wisdom did so. Adanos feared the day the animal would return to the land so he asked Innos that he may leave a part of his godly power in Aurasong so that he may give it to the humanoid in case the animal shall return, Innos in his wisdom did so.
