People of the New Sun

People of the New Sun is a universalizing religion with its hearth in ancient Kuni. It has since spread out over the continent, with large populations in the south, high prevalence in southern Centeral, and pockets in the North.

Core Beliefs
At the very center, believers -eusumenae- believe in sixteen gods and godesses. However, they only worship three. These are determined by location, birth, and choice.

Canae
This is the god determined by location. Kuni was divided into sixteen districts in which a different god resides. Wherever there is a cluster of eusumenae, the land is divided in the same way.

A town usually has a communitee hub with a statue in their god's traditional material, usually a hard stone or metal. Offerings vary by area and are more strict, as it is usually a plentiful substance for the area.

This represents a families influence.

Tantunae
====﻿The god determined by date of birth. The eusumanae have a culture of astronomy, and keep very detailed track of cycles. Followers of Swital use the position of the moons and suns to determine the childs Tantunae.====

Whatever god they were born under with decide their future job, ie. cast system.

This represents fate.

Sasanae
This refers to the god that is chosen. When a datrinae female developes her marks, she may choose to worship a god/ess she feels the closest connection to. This holds the most weight, showing that while we are bound by fate, our choices determine much of our lives. Most Sasanae are or are the companion of the Tantunae. There is no rule against this, but a prevalent taboo.

Male datrinae and the people of other races choose at sixteen. If a female never developes her marks (usually meaning infertality) she is a made a priestess to all the dieties, and is a very respectable member of society.
