The Primal Forces

The main religion of Morea is the worship of the twin Primal Forces, Destruction and Creation.

The prophet Mori discovered these forces after 100 days of deep meditation that nearly killed him. He communed with them and found a way to power divine spells.

The religion is considered:

1. Dualistic
2. Universal
3. Non-interventionist
4. Non moral theology
5. Transmigratory (reincarnation)

The Primal Forces are worshipped by the people, but they are not considered to be actual beings. They're associated with certain emotions and aspects of life, but not with philosophical concepts such as good and evil, as is the case on other worlds. In terms of alignment, they are considered neutral and are not assigned a gender, using the neutral pronouns they/them. However, in some obscure cults, they are worshipped as the mother and father of the world.

Both are seen as having had an equal hand in creating the universe in the creation of the True Flame in the center of all creation. Fire is believed to be a thing of both creation and destruction as it's able to be used for creating or destroying. They're also responsible for the cycle of rebirth.

After the events of the Scarring it is believed that the Gods themselves pulled on the forces of Destruction to destroy themselves completely.

There is no pantheon but the Gods have 3 major aspects and many minor aspects.
Creation, The Primal Force of the Beginning, has the major aspects of creation, life and growth.
Some of their most common minor aspects are:

• Farming
• Birth
• Construction
• Vengeance
• The Clans

Destruction, The Primal Force of the End, has the major aspects of death, destruction and decay.
Some of their most common minor aspects are:

• War
• Sickness
• Medicine
• Justice
• The Empire

However, there is no consensus on which minor aspects are ruled by which Force. For example, healing is considered part of the worship of Creation in some places, but in others it would be attributed to Destruction. Clerics often debate endlessly about the aspects of the Primal Forces, resulting in the formation of different sects. The Empire of Mori is the only place that has codified and strictly enforces an official list of divine aspects, known as the Codex of Divine Right or simply The Codex.

Typically, worshipping one of the Primal Forces involves assuming a Path (Domain). A Path represents your life's calling and is associated with one of the Primal Force's minor aspects. Clerics often try to identify and nurture their followers' Paths, and seek out a Paragon who exemplifies their chosen Path.

The dominant religion in most of the world.
