Arialism

When Arior is all you have, then you have what you only need.

The monotheist religion that follows and worships the Larian god Arior, viewing him as the protector and patron of humanity, a supreme being that rules not only the golden realm, but also the mortal world, watching over and sustaining the latter, in which every rain after a drought or sunray after a storm is seem as a blessing of the god himself. 

Faith

Although the religion possesses an uncountable number of tenets and teachings, the preaching done to the masses revolves around the belief of sacrifice and overall cohesion, in which Arior expects all to endure through times of hardship and work together for a greater, common goal of mankind and order, with each individual being responsible for carrying out the work that was assigned to them by divine will.  
Every just throne that stands fully as it should, stands on three pillars: first, those who pray; second those who labor; and third, those who fight. Those who pray are clergy, who must serve Arior and fervently plead for all people day and night. Those who labor are the workers who must toil for that by which the entire community may live. Those who fight are the warriors who must protect the land by waging war with weapons.
  • The Tome of Aeons.
  • The Arialist faith arose formally somewhen between 1000 IL and 900 IL, as the beginning of the Tome of Aeons speaks of a man who had found himself completely lost in a dark forest, wandering for days in search for a way out of the dreaded place, chased by foul monsters. Starving and sick, the man endured in vain, and when he finally collapsed, a winged figure descended from the skies and stood by him. Named Venios, the angel stood by the man and said: "Children lose their way and gaze down to the ground, searching their path, never looking up for the guiding light." With but a touch to his forehead, the angel had restored all the health the man had lost in his attempt to escape. Before leaving, he added: "The Lord watches over each and every one of his sons, but to be granted his blessing, one must look up for his holy light."

      Renewed, the man got up to his feet and tried once agan to find the exit of the forest, this time, looking up at the sun during the day, and the stars during the night. In less than a day, he had managed to leave the woods. Changed, the man set out to live a different life, he would look at every circumstance differently, searching for the answers god had laid before him. Venios would often visit him again, with new messages, teaching the man about Arior, the Golden Lord of Heaven.    In one of such teachings, Venios explained the value of order: "The world is like a basket full of fruit, some green, some ripe, some overripe. If the overripe fruit aren't removed, they start to rot and contaminate all the others. Such is the role of God over creation. To have order, one must understand the value of sacrifice, the value of the greater good, for the smallest imbalance is a threat to all balance."    As the man continued to live his life, he would spread such teachings to his brethren, to his wife, children and grandchildren. They were taught the value of unity and how the preachings of Arior, through Venios, mustn't be forgotten, and so, the faith spread and developed, many centuries later becoming the formal Arialist Faith.
