Overview
The House of the Seven Divines is the most predominant religion in the region being followed by over half the population.
It teaches the world was created by seven gods and when that task was complete, they each agreed to watch over special areas of life.
These areas of life are reflected in the pillars of its core teachings and in layman's terms are:
- YOUTH - protect the souls of our children from all dangers and falsehood.
- HAPPINESS - only through following divine teachings can we attain true and meaningful joy.
- PROSPERITY - create wealth for ourselves so we can, in turn, help others.
- CONQUEST - show mercy to those who have strayed from prescribed teachings.
- LOVE - love your god through actions and your love will be returned.
- MYSTERY - not all truth can be easily seen; this pillar is sometimes also referred to as LUCK.
- DEATH - follow the teachings and you will find your path to JoRen (salvation).
For each Pillar, there is a House (church) and followers worship the god of their House. There is one Matriarch/Patriarch for each House and they report directly to the seven members of the Divine Council, who are the Chosen to hear the voices of the gods themselves.
