Why we must use real world religion basis in different names while we can create a new roleplay religion ? Why there is only Christianity-copy figures in Lore section ?

Lets make a new religion for LiF. First we need a template. Then players will suggest codes for religion. Then we will choose the prophet. Then it will be done.

There are lots of RP servers. Most of them have independent lore. Lore includes religion aspects.

For example, RPCLIF server:

Faith & Deities

On the Island of Nelumbra the gods are known to be able to cross the divide through the mists to interact with their faithful. The deities may communicate through visions, cryptic whispers, or dreams to their faithful. The first character to achieve status of pope for each deity will be capable of communicating directly with the deity in its physical form.

Role playing prayers, sacrifices, group rituals, and faithful/faithless acts toward a deity can result in a positive or negative impact on the faithful, as agreed on by the council of the gods.

The deities of Nelumbra are as follows:

Elimine, Goddess of Nature

Elimine is the Goddess of Nature and all natural things. Animals, plants, forests, crops, and anything that comes from the Earth is attributed to her good will and blessings. She is the favored Goddess of farmers and hunters, and a shrine to her can be found in most rural homesteads. She is often depicted as a large white doe or graceful, veiled woman with elfin features.


Terras, God of Stone

Terras is the God of Stone and of all things within the Earth. Quarries, tunnels, and mines all receive his blessing before being constructed, for it is the strength of Terras that holds the earth over your head and keeps the dirt firm below your feet. Stone carvers, smiths, carpenters, and laborers give their praise to Terras to receive his strength and sturdiness in their craft. Terras is typically depicted as a massive muscular man, with all manner of tools strapped across his back and hung at his waist.


Paravan, God of War

Paravan is the God of War and Combat, and is prayed to before every armed struggle, no matter how small. From farm skirmishes to grand campaigns, Paravan guides the swords of the righteous and strengthens the shields of the faithful. He is depicted as a large solider in full plate armor, with a Zweihander and shield across his back and twin daggers at his hips. Unlike the other dieties, no true temples exist to Paravan. Instead, sacrifices are made in his honor to receive his blessing before combat. His demeanor is typically serious and stern.

Erenyx, Goddess of Shadows

Erenyx is the twin-sister of Kelegral,and the Goddess of Shadows and Trickery. Typically, she is worshiped by spies, thieves, and anyone with great secrets or who require stealth. Prayers to Erenyx are said in hushed tones and as needed. Typically, worship of her is hidden from view, as Acolytes of Erenyx have been known to operate as assassins. Those who openly worship Erenyx are met with disdain and wariness, for disciples of her rarely are up to anything good. She is depicted as a slender woman in a pitch black cloak which covers all of her body. Her face is hidden in the shadows of the hood, except for two yellow eyes that leer from within the depths of the cloak. She is light of heart and fond of tricks, no matter the outcome o24harm they may do.

Kelegral, God of Death

Kelegral is the twin-brother of Erenyx, and God of Death and the Afterlife. He has no depiction and is not openly worshiped; only one shrine is known to exist to Kelegral, and it is rumored to lead to the seat of the Gods themselves. Every person meets Kelegral in the end, and his greed to harvest the souls of every person is blamed for all premature and accidental deaths. The Hands of Kelegral are in everything and his eyes are everywhere, watching and waiting for the chance to end a life. He does not kill outright, but is the one who sends the bear to maul the villager, or provokes the man into killing. Those who openly worship Kelegral are rumored to offer human sacrifices to gain his favor, and his dark blessings are said to give people dark magic powers.

What about MMO ?

What about MMO ?

Every cult will come to mmo lands with own religion and will try to spread it among other players.

I know you secretly worship Terras, Basil. )

A very interesting idea. I also feel like because they have outlined pseudo religions in the racial backstories of each group, and we are not separated by race in the MMO or YO that a blending of sorts would take place. There seems to be no racial tension, that I have seen yet anyways, nor any religious divides. I can see 4 new religions coming to life because of this a Slavard-Khoor hybrid, a Kohn-Gottlung hybrid, a Gottlun-Slavard hybrid, and a Slavard-Khoor-Gottlun amalgamation. And without much explanation as to how we are where we are perhaps LiF is the next step and discovering that all three religions with differing beliefs ended up in the same place will spark a reformation.

no one is telling you what religions are available, nor what religion to believe in...

and people from two different races are not called "hybrids"

[Nomeatloaf]

Excuse Me Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Cthulhu?

[Azzerhoden]

The Kingdom of Hyperion will be bringing its religious doctrines to the land of LIF, along with different flavors of that religion. As an example, Azerath of SSR has numerous posts in the lore section, and The Reverend Father Varrick Chaoswielder, currently of Wessex, will be posting soon as well.

Rest assured these deeply spiritual characters will be looking to convert all players.

Greetings,
Indeed we are founding a brand new "Church". This religious system similar to the Papal States (thus in functioning its own "fief" with peasants, armies, clergy, merchants and all that) in the medieval ages with the Catholic Church.

The religion system is detailed with hundreds of pages of lore that is being slowly entered into a new website (coming in the next few weeks).

The god the Kingdom follows is "Soldeus" (pronounced Sol-Dei-Us which means Sun God). He is a God who supports the feudal system by granting divine mandate, and has a clergy loyal to him that preach compassion... But sometimes that fails... That is where the darker side comes out to play, and no one likes that

Each race has a back story religion, and that is what I was referring too. They are not named so I was referring to them by the race that believes in them according to their back story. So it was a hybrid of the two race's religions mentioned in their respective backstory not a hybrid race of people.
