Adrados
Adrados Aufor
The stars, the moon, the night time sky, and all things that revolve around the universe. The knowledge contained within the stars, and the divinations of the ages that allow one to connect all things together by the common threads of destiny, and education. Adrados is all these things, and yet even more. In the The Pondarac Pantheon she is treated as a wise sage. In The Arborole she is the wife of Calpricis Aufor of the Sun and the wisest of all the gods of nature. Though she is regarded as simple to some, her role in the universe is more vast the the changes of night and day within the world. As the goddess of the night sky, and the universe above, many worship adrados for the chance to learn a fraction of the knowledge she has to offer, and the philosophies she expands upon.

Tenets of Faith
The church of adrados is divided into x sects, each dealing with a different point of view from the teachings of adrados.
This sect of the teachings of adrados finds the holiest of days being when both Arai and Rau are full at the same time. They also consider when both moons are new moons to be a sacriligious day, and members will usually refuse to go out during the night.
Moon
Adrados is said to command control over the moons, which, details that they are the promised sacrifice of Tutella in the The Pondarac Pantheon, and the keeper of the great promise within The Arborole. The teachings of the moon detail that knowledge of all things is key to the prevention of ill fortune, and that words, be they written or spoken, maintain great power over reality. Falsehoods are especially abhorrent in this sect, so long as those that make them are aware of this falsehood.This sect of the teachings of adrados finds the holiest of days being when both Arai and Rau are full at the same time.

Stars
Where the moon deals in the knowledge that is known, follows of the stars deal in the knowledge of the unknown. Sometimes called finders of the great question, believers of the stars seek to find answers through various means of study, in the stars, alchemy, and experimentation. Unlike most other sects of religion, followers of the stars are more about the experience, and not the worshiping themselves. They can be found in temples of adrados night or day, and participating in other holy rituals to potentially find a spark of truth to the universe.Ring
The oldest religious sect of the three, the teachings of the ring detail not of knowledge of the world, or that which is unknown, but for the knowledge held within. The knowledge within has been widely debated, discussed and interpreted throughout history, with tens of thousands of different interpretations. This religious sect is more prone to acts of artistry and violence then the other two, yet also more likely to attend clerical services to get a deeper understanding of the self within the knowledge of the world.Divine Goals & Aspirations
No matter which sect, or religous belief the individual may hold, Adrados holds the same divine goal. Knowledge, its collection, its discovery, and its usage. The creation of the moons around pondera, though debated between religions, always tells of the promise of protection throughout the world. It is the goal of Adrados to uphold this promise, and finding new ways to improve upon the promise itself.
