Aurathesism is a spiritual and philosophical belief system prevalent among the Elderkin, particularly the elves. Central to Aurathesism is the veneration of the Field, perceived as a divine force that not only serves as the source of magic but also as the creator of the world, Tyrrell, and everything within it. The term "Aurathesism" is derived from the elven word "Aura," signifying the connection to the Field.
Believers in Aurathesism view it as the their responsibility to maintain harmony with nature and uphold the delicate balance of the Field. The religion emphasizes unity with the natural world and living in accordance with the divine purpose for Mortal beings.
Key tenets of Aurathesism include recognizing the significance of balance and change in existence, praising and preserving creation and nature, and understanding the intrinsic connection between magic and the Field.
The religion emerged during the early ages of Tyrrell and gained prominence among Elderkin societies, shaping their cultural, spiritual, and ethical perspectives. Holy scriptures such as the Verdant Creed serve as a guide for Aurathesists, providing wisdom, creation myths, and moral teachings that reinforce the principles of the faith.
