Better parallels could probably be made with the Nemorian gods, which were the subject of my #MythAugust last year.
Many if not all of them, Deiuoreks especially, would fit right in with your gods.

It's a good thing the Experient only exists at the end of time and their mortal body is not known (and if the religion is not true, there might not be an answer), so the gods can't kill them!

One symbol equivalent to the Christian cross would be the manacle, whose general shapes would stay the same but the material changes as science improves.
(It's also used as a marriage token. 🥰)

I promise, no 3000 word footnote this year!
#TheDragonblood: Well, #MythAugust 2025 applies, at least.
The people of Zonhaspalis worship the Nemorian gods, but are mainly devoted to Palnator, god of travel, construction and flight, and patron god of Zonhaspalis.
Feel free to tag your MythAugust if it applies here, but today's question is generally about the more "formal" guiding principles for this place, whether that be a structured religion or more philosophical path.
How does their practice impact their way of life?

Chevrefoil largely exemplifies elven culture as a whole; primarily the Sefirot, which are considered the fundamental attributes of divinity. I summarized these in MythAugust this year, which will be applicable to this: bsky.app/profile/seff...
Where Chevrefoil differs is in its

What do the people of this place put emphasis on? This could be things like work ethic, how elders are treated, what makes a family, whether there's a tipping culture...
But it could also be things like how there are parades and heavy shopping sales for Labor Day (US)!

That's a very good question! This will draw on some stuff from MythAugust that I'll repeat here in case you missed or forgot it (which is fair and expected and normal, I don't expect anyone to be keeping notes on my COPIOUS prattling).
Basically, the Moon ate their future.

#ThroughTheCracks: It's a fundamental part of Skylar's worldview, and also that of Erron, one of the antagonists. Perhaps the story could've come to just about the same if being PostEk were not the reason for the characters having the motivations they do. But as I have it, it is.
You've been chatting about your fictional gods & religions all month, but how much do these things play a role in the story you're trying to tell?
Is it just cool worldbuilding flavor, or is it essential to the plot & characters? Maybe all of the above?

#ThroughTheCracks: This is not the story of mine for gods showing up in person, unfortunately.
Hm... I haven't thought about this all that much.
I could imagine, when a baby is born, PostEks in some sects at least might symbolically add a card to a deck? (1/2)
During major life milestones & rites of passage (e.g. birth, coming of age, marriage, death, etc), how do your gods/spirits play a role?
Are they invoked during a ceremony? Is their imagery part of the ritual? Do they require a sacrifice?
*Do they ever show up in person??* 👀

I've been excited for this one, but somehow fell behind at the wrong moment.
#ThroughTheCracks: Not sure if I count it as a religion, but I was certainly inspired by a real world belief. It just may be one that has only ever had a single believer, and that would be me. (1/10)
Wrapping up the month! Tell us about your inspirations. Were you influenced by any real world myths or religions when making your fantasy gods? Which ones, and how did they influence you?
Feel free to talk about any other inspirations too, of course, not just religions & myths!

#ThroughTheCracks: I'm sure PostEks have a good deal of idioms specific to them. Many will probably come as I write the story. Cheers will often be "To the Experient". PostEks will often justify their kind actions towards others as "for the Experient". (1/4)
Today's question is about how the gods/spirits influence the lives of regular people - specifically, in mundane everyday kind of ways.
Think of little things like idioms & swear words, clothing & accessories, small superstitious rituals, or locations everyone knows to avoid...

I'll catch up to the #MythAugust prompts I haven't answered soon, but more-so when I feel like it.

And for engagement I am looking forward to reading as many as I can and learning from everyone here!
Also I will comment whenever I have questions no one has asked yet! ❤️
This will be fun! 🎉

They usually work well together. But now the new Grim Reaper wants all the power.

We've reached the end! So let's have some fun: if there was a multiverse collapse, how would your deities & their followers interact with others you've read about this month? 😁
Would they team up, with disastrous results? Destroy each other? Or would they live in relative harmony?
Well, assuming it just involves the gods of Re: Shattered Memories, and not the other gods of the Skaraverse, they'd probably jump at the chance to get new allies against the anti-gods.

Oh, we are so fucked.
A lot of our gods are assholes it seems, and I don't want to imagine @pjccahill.bsky.social's Vek gaining control of carnivorous water hurricanes. 😱
I would love to see @jaxdevora.bsky.social's First Mother heal The Blight, though.

Oh boy. If Theryl got roped up into other universes/canons, the Divines would IMMEDIATELY prioritize keeping the mortals of their world protected from whatever nonsense is going on. It would probably be the first time in ages they took a directly active role in the world's fate.

They will start with peace & brotherhood
But if met with rejection, treachery, deception, hostility & antipathy, my deities and their followers will defend themselves and/or leave them alone (they're not the conquering or forced conversion kind)
