Ametrian Branches - Santau
Mostly the men of Vendsysselland, Cardovia, and the northern areas of the Stadts of Wetterau follow this branch of Ametrianism. It includes an inclusion of a quasi-ancestor worship aspect to Ametrianism. Followers of its tenants believe that man itself is The Creator’s greatest work. This is expressed through veneration of past generations. Each location has its own customs. In general, followers believe that when a man that has led a good life dies and ascends to sit at The Creator’s side, the living family should venerate them to a lesser degree for their accomplishment. This is done through small ancestor shrines in a house, to leaving food out after the death of a family member who led a good life for months after their passing.
The branch of Ametrianism has come into open conflict with Bilasch Ametrianism on many occasions. The Bilaschs believe ancestor worship to be heretical and that it takes away the focus off of The Creator. Bilasch Ametrianism is tolerated by Santau Ametrianists but not vice versa. Rarely will you find Santau Ametrianist communities within areas where the majority of the populace follows the Bilasch Ametrianist faith.
