Solarism
Most of humanity lives nominally under a single, yet highly fractious and localized religion called Solarism. As the centuries have rolled on, this body of religious doctrine has been thought by sheltered practitioners to be the single “theologically correct” world view, ruled (or at least dominated) by a single godhead, the the Sun Lord. Though their inclusion often fires fierce debate two other “entities,” the Celestial Lady and the Antagonist, are recognized—to varying degrees—under the Solarist umbrella. Pahr “Old Gods” have recently seen a resurgence of worship in the borderlands.
Paradoxically,the more monolithic Solarity has grown the more hyper-nuanced, locally-differentiated, contradictory, contested and absurd its actual real world practice has become.
The faith is currently divided into 31 Houses of Orthodoxy over seemingly absurd doctrinal differences (whether sign of the sun is made clockwise or counterclockwise and how many fingers should be used, the number of wheels on the Sun Chariot, etc.)
