Religion

Freyism

Freyism, also sometimes spelled Fréjism or Frahjism, is a religion surrounding the goddess Freya (commonly spelled by Olbans as "Fréja" or "Frahja"), believed to be the goddess of love, war, and beauty. Freyists believe that life was a gift by Freya, and worship her, sometimes dedicating their entire lives to her as a way to show their appreciation for her gifting them life. Many Freyists believe love is the greatest thanks you could give to Freya, and get married or have relationships solely for this reason. There is a common practice with Freyists where they wear a collar with a bell, such as the one Mira and Lukas wear. It is to show that they believe in Freyism. This started as a movement in Lenstruyna against the government in Apryosi in the 1950s and has since then been a popular thing for Freyists all around the world.

Many things in the world are based on Freyist beliefs, such as Freyalian magic and Freyaline and Lovemian crystals. People often associate Olbans with Freyism, but not all Olbans believe in it. The heart symbol is also associated with Freyism and believed by Freyists to be the symbol of Freya. Freyism is the majority religion in countries like Fluoi Drines and Olbania.

Freyism is also slightly polytheistic as a majority of Freyists believe the Moon, Valai, Ebrya, and the Sun are Disciples of Freya and demigods or full Gods on their own, but not all Freyists worship the "Disciples" like they worship Freya. There is also monotheistic Freyism.

The most popular/well-known interpretation of Venus. The third eye and wings are said to symbolize her being otherworldly due to being born from the sea.

Venism

A religion surrounding a goddess known as Venus; the Goddess of love, beauty, and desire. The most common interpretation of Venus is that she was a goddess formed from the sea, born as a ragdoll cat with multiple eyes and wings (more modernly, with gills and/or webbed paws) and learned to spread ideas of love and beauty across the world. The ideals associated with Venus overlap with the goddess Freya, so much so that even the heart symbol is also very commonly associated with Venus. It is believed that Venus may have been conceptualized in another part of the world to purposely be an alternate version of Freya.

Despite the similarities between Freya and Venus, Venists and Freyists have had a long history of not getting along and Venists are even not allowed to convert to Freyism in the most popular Freyist Church in Lenstruyna. Still, there are some polytheists that believe in both and either believe they are lovers or sisters. There are also small groups of people across the world that believe in both Goddesses and only them, known as Vey-Freyists.

Drayism

Lord Drayeth (Wqæyeþ in Zyrilian), in Ebryan mythology, is the God of the Moon. He is also sometimes known as the Moon itself.

Solgism

Solgism is an Ebryan religion based on the Sun, worshipping the God Solga (Sâuðue). Solga is considered to be a good God, a God of light, contrasted with Lord Drayeth who is often seen as tyrannical and the God of the dark. Solga followers follow the policy of 'anything goes,' as in, they are free to do anything as long as it's not morally objectionable and are encouraged to not be restricted by the chains of rules and authority. The only 'rules' Solgism has is to not murder or abuse others and let everyone join in on your fun, though in some versions of Solgism there is quite literally no rules at all, and followers of Solga are left to decide what they consider good or bad on their own. Solgism is a very communal religion and religious activities for Solgists are most often shared with others. Solgists appreciate their God by of course following their policies (or lack thereof), doing community praying, and learning sun magic.

Solga is known as an entity of "both everything and nothing," and most documents refer to them with gender-neutral terms or even as if they were an object. Solga is also considered both nonliving and living, sentient and non-sentient. Their mythology relies heavily on how mysterious the Sun feels. A blinding, almost incomprehensible ball of pure light that doesn't feel but nonetheless nurtures the worlds it shines on. Solga doesn't have much art depicting their appearance, as most documents say that they either don't have one or their actual appearance can't be seen at all by mortals, but in the few depictions of them they're often drawn as an albino Alqati with three heads.
