Besides the large central Vatican City sized Temples on each sourcewell world of Hiyaria, worshipping each sourcewell element and Strifesaint particular to that planet, there are a myriad of smaller temples and sites of powers for each (1/6)
#WritingCommunity #Writers #Writesky

Your question today: where do the followers worship their deities? Are there community gatherings, or is it more private? What locations belong to the gods?

Each 'year' in the Imperium consists of 400 days, all neatly divided up into 16 of what we'd call months as each Sourcewell has a period of prominence where it waxes in power. (1/5)

Oh, there are many, many to choose from. The one mentioned with Randacht the Breathtaking, the ones the Elranans refused to do that infected him with Death from the nearby Sourcewell, for instance, is still used daily on that world. (1/4)

Today, I want to know about blessings & curses.
Are there rituals or objects for protection (e.g. prayers, circles, talismans)? What do people do to ensure good fortune for themselves or others?
What sorts of rituals or objects bring curses?

Today I want to know what motivates the followers of your gods/spirits.
What do they gain (or hope to gain) from their devotion to their deities? Fulfillment? Protection? Enlightenment? Fortune & success? Literal magic powers? All of the above?

Each temple provides services to the populace at large in line with their respective sourcewell. Order for law enforcement, life for medical concerns, death for funeral services. (2/3)

Each Strifesaint temple also extols the virtues of that specific Sourcewell intertwining the two into one seamless belief. Like Randacht being for Death the followers embrace the values of both properly passing on and the inevitability of death(1/2 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Writesky
Tell me what the followers value!
What do they hold up as the prime virtues? Honesty? Courage? Purity? Harmony with nature?
On the other hand, what do they consider the worst sins? What behaviors would they view as blasphemous or taboo?

Every 25 Imperium days a Sourcewell reaches its zenith, kicking off a parade from the world's temple. There is a single central circular boulevard that links them all, including the Shifting Palace. (3/5)

The afterlife is... different than usual, especially according to the 16 Strifesaint/Sourcewell churches. It involves how magic in this world works in this universe, so an explanation of that must come first. (1/

Today we're yapping about the afterlife.
What do the followers of these gods/spirits believe happens to someone after they die? Why do they believe that? Are they correct? How do their beliefs influence their behavior?

Other than that, worlds can also have sites of power aligned to one sourcewell or, rarely, the combination of two intertwining (more than two is vanishingly small, verging on merely Myth to most) powers. (3/6)

These sites of power can also vary in strength, from the merest suggestion of a whisper of power to a passer-by, to warping reality for miles in every direction, even linking back tot he Sourcewell world at their deepest. (5/6)

Every Sourcewell/Strifesaint cathedral has a different leadership structure, if only minor differences, but each has its own membership seat in a special section of the Celestial Council, the primary seat of power in the Imperium under the Emperor
#WritingCommunity #Writers #Writesky
Tell me about the authority figures among your deities' followers!
If there is an organized religion, who are the leaders? Is there one high authority, like the Dalai Lama or the Pope? Who are the gods' representatives in ordinary communities?

Why? because Hiyaria was built by linking all the Sourcewell worlds with permanent portals in a giant wheel encircling the core of the galaxy, causing the wells to mix to a degree and bringing a measure of order to magic. (2/

These sites are often the source of strange sects, as the worship of the sourcewell/Strifesaint intersects with local beliefs to spawn strange hybrids. The Imperium keeps a close eye on these to determine if they fit under Imperial doctrine. (4/6)

From that point on Randacht formed an integral part of the galaxy-wide rebellion against the Dominion, surviving until all Elranans were extinct and the Dragons were banished. He eagerly chose to merge with the Death Sourcewell at the end(10/10)
