Figurism

Figurism is the monotheistic belief in a god known as ‘the Figure’, whom followers call more commonly, ‘God’.

Mythos
The Figure is a sort of mother nature that Figurists believe guides events and watches over all. the most wide spread religion in Dzarien, only having a rival with naturalism. Legends of the figure spirit coming forth centuries ago to warn of a doomsday affect all Dzarien calendars

The worship of the Figure is respecting nature, and giving back for everything taken from it

While in Naturalism, the Figure is the head of a Family, Figurism sees this Family as mortal humans who were blessed with the knowledge of the doomsday by the Figure.

Branches
The Figure is recognized in nearly all other religions as well. Anyad is the most prominent in Figurism, and have several groves devoted to it. Dartonia, Nerwana, and Wells Island citizens also celebrate it as the main religion of their countries.

Common Interpretation
In Figurism, blaspheming is destruction of nature or worship of ‘false gods’.

Devout Interpretation
The Devout branch of Figurism completely ban the killing of living creatures, and live as vegetarians/are against military actions. Devotees of this religion are called Ivylyns; genderless prophets who live in the wild groves and nurture them, and also offer wisdom to any who seek it

Nerwanian Interpretation
Nerwana’s interpretation of figurism is very different from what is usually accepted. though they still are monotheistic, the concepts behind the religion differ from the mainstream.

Nerwanians are not as respectful of nature as their neighboring factions. they see nature as something to obtain pleasure from and some do not consider Nerwanians true Figurists at all

Nerwanians aren’t concerned about religion in particular, using it mostly as a political device to move against their opponents. Ivylyns sometimes visit to attempt to show Nerwanians the error of their ways and claim they are twisting the religion to suit their own needs

Nerwanians have lavish temples to honor the figure; Nerwanians are all about pleasure/luxury; power and money are their true gods. when it’s convenient, they use ‘who is the most religious’ against opponents in court.
