The Way of Acceptance
"Praise the Senders."The Way of Acceptance is a religious movement rooted in Orbidian origins. A portion of the population considers the Senders as divine beings who preside over the lives of all people once their time has come. The moderates of the Way support the idea that Senders can select people's souls to reincarnate in new worlds, while firm believers even go so far as to say that Senders control every aspect of one's life, that they have specific plans in mind for every soul in existence.
A common eulogy of Acceptance.
Mythology & Lore
In the end of one's life, we are judged for our every actions. When the spirit departs the body, we all appear in front of the Senders to hear their plan for us. For Death is not the end, merely a new beginning.
The Senders are kindly and wise, no-one ise exempt from the Sending, from the purest child to the most bloodthristy warriors. We all will be Sent in a new realm where we are given life and purpose. Praise the Senders who challenge us. Praise the Senders who gift us with bodies and powers. Praise the Senders for their Kindness. We accept their love and they in turn will send us further into realms of increasing wonders.
Divine Origins
The Way's origin stems from the impressions of the First Sent, citizens of the Old Word who died and were reincarnated in Orbido by the powers of the Senders, such as the calm Formati or the elusive Atropi.
Some among the reborn decided to respect these powerful beings for their control over life after death. Over time, the respect turned into worship, and the First Sent's chidren began treating the Senders as full fledged deities.
Cosmological Views
Formati is a notorious Sender whose few spoken words have been recorded and are considered religious treasures. He is considered higher in the sphere of the divinities.
Atropi, another Sender, expressed himself even less than his known comrades.
Minali is the motherly figure of the Senders, her smile is said to have redeemed even the hardened criminals among the First Sent.
Ethics
Stance on the Sent
Sent are revered by Acceptants. Each and every visitor is a special being. While Sent are extremely rare, Acceptants dearly believe in their existence and maintain their networks to find them. The number one priority of the order is to secure and protect the Sent, then to let them do what the Senders have brought them to do.Sects
The Optimists
The more mainstream form of Acceptance argues that all souls fall under the purview of the Senders. Good or bad, rich or poor, Human or otherwise. This egalitarian view helped it spread throughout the continent, including to Menia and Arbeka. Optimists get their names from the assumption that the Senders rewards those who strive and overcome the odds, that life is sacred in their eyes and suffering is nothing to worry about given the potential rewards once the faithful are Sent after death.The Dramatists
Some Acceptants theorize that the Senders are not so benevolent, but perhaps simply bored and curious. To Dramatists, the world is a play where the Senders write down the actions of their favorite souls. A dour outlook on their very existence while not as pessimistic as others. For this branch, any Sent has far more importance in the eyes of the Senders than anyone born and raised on Orbido. This importance can be reflected as having many dedicated chapters in the afforementionned "play" while a regular person would only be mentionned in passing.The Dread Path
A radical branching that completely oppose orthodox Acceptance. This sect attracts nihilists and lonely souls who see their continued survival as a sad joke. To the Dread Path, people should only live once.Perceive and accept
