Faith of the Tenfold

Also known as the Tenfold Faith, stands as a beacon of unity, with its pantheon of equal gods representing different facets of existence. Their catherdals dot the world, offering solace and guidance to those who seek harmony in a world of contrasts. Its foundations are built upon the principles of balance, cooperation, and respect for the equal but distinct domains. Each cathedral is adorned with stunning mosaics, followers gather to celebrate the Tenfold, each deity's presence a testament to the intricate weave of existence. Devotees of the Tenfold Faith find strength in unity and balance in diversity. They seek to emulate the harmony of the gods, fostering cooperation among different cultures and races. With every prayer, every offering, and every act of kindness, they weave their own stories into the grand tapestry of Zentrum, bound by a shared reverence for the equal and radiant gods of the Tenfold. Due to the ethereal nature of mortal lives, many adherants chose to venerate all of the Tenfold by studying the domain of whichever Tenfold calls to them, while praying to all.  

Communion of Visloism

Prophet Vislo the Bringer of Prespective, taught that the gods are not a perfect balance of harmonious aspects, rather they are pantheon of eternal dualities. The eternal balance of light and darkness, creation and destruction, order and chaos, is the Universal Synthesis that mortal creatures must be maintain. In this belief system, the adherents comprehend a perpetual cosmic struggle between two groups of gods, representing a thesis and an antithesis collectively creating a new Universal Synthesis. Before time and creation, The Old Synthesis existed as an Obsidian Void. All gods were largely powerless in The Old Synthesis as the universe was formless. When Bywyd first created intelligent creatures and Temporiana provided order through the gift of time their actions shattered the Old Synthesis. Eidolon became the largest embodiment of the now shattered Obsidian Void. Working to undo Bywyd's Creation and Temporiana's Order, Eidolon split other aspects of out of the Old Synthesis to sow chaos upon creation.
