Elementarianism [Discussion/OPEN!]
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:15 pm
Elementarianism – the Religion of Science. Born almost 1200 years ago, Elementarianism brought the eight main Religious Sects that was based around Southern Strait of Judea into one great Faith. During this time there was several Wars being fought amongst the Strait Tribes and the Unity, as the forming of Elementarianism was called, brought a peace that lasted until the Colonisation of the South.
The core of Elementarianism was created by primitive Scientists – Alchemists, Shaman, etc – using what they knew of ‘Majyk’ to be explained by a higher power. During these days it was very similar to many pagan religions, with the Creator only being discovered as a God himself during the 14th Century. It was only during this time, the 15th-17th Century, that Elementarianism got a full work over and the loose threads of the faith were woven together in what is known today as the Basilica of the Greater Science.
The Religious Democracy of Trivval, the heartland of Elementarianism, is run similar to the Holy See, where the Government is totally intertwined with the Religion. The official state religion of the Religious Democracy is Elemenilavit, the largest faction of Elementarianism, and was the cause of the Trivvallian War for Freedom. Elemenilavit is by far most prominent in Trivval, but there are supporters spread internationally. Elemenilavit translates directly to ‘Element Worship’.
The Elementarianism faith consists of a Higher and Lower Pantheon of five Beings, each corresponding to a certain element and as such each Being has a festival in his or her honor at the changing of the quart-year, in both cases the exception being the Highest Being. There are several temples, holy sites and sub-sects devoted to individual Gods, but the Elementarianism Basilica exercises and urges Elemenilavit, where each deity is equally represented.
The Qwarue, the Holy Tome of Elementarianism, is widely circulated throughout the Judea, as well as the population of any country within a Trivvalian War Theatre.

Well here is where you can tell me what you think of it. I'm open to ideas of what to add, any comments, constructive criticism, anything.
, anyway, I don't want my State converting my people to Elementarianism, after all we're a Christian theocracy. But if you want to RP sending Elementarianist missionaries to my nation founding people wanting to convert, that's okay and I'll permit it, I also RP my state practicing freedom of religion. But if you do not want and you're not a faith converter, and you're just counting a census of members, that's also fine.
