Coniunctio

The dominant faith of the Empire. The prevalent belief revolves around the coniunctio (the joining) or Sacramentum Coniunctionis - the sacrament of the union.   "Chaotic titans of brutality and totemic winds of chance engulf if left unchecked. The scarred lands of dust, fire and wind batter the earth in its barren form. The sentients - beings of intellect and conscience - walked scared and afraid. Each paid fealty to these titans under the promise of power, lust or greed.

A day came where a titan, unlike the rest, bore forth. Sightless it found the titan Aspe and in showing it to see more than prey became joined. Seeing the strength of Foris, taught him strength can be used to shield the weak not just seize. A titan of fickle nature was found Amarae, her love flittered between many things and could easily be taught envy - the titan realised that these faults need not be adjusted just understood and so she joined too. The one of many remaining titans is one known as Erebur. The titan caught rambling infinite wisdoms. The joiner tried to explain its part in the world but Erebur was lost in its ramblings.

See more than prey. Hold shield before the sword. Calm the heart and listen. Only then will Erebur be sated and the coniunctio be fulfilled."
- taken from the book of divinity

The symbol of Aspe is an eye - is commonly worshipped by hunters
The symbol of Foris is a spine - is commonly used for warriors
The symbol for Amarea is a heart - is commonly used for healers
The symbol for Erebur is a brain - is commonly used for scholars
  These symbols have many variations but the core symbol represents that of a body part the titan itself is a collection of these.   There are many other titans joined by the titan either on a broader base or locally.   The main offshoot of Imperian is worshipped in the Diadic Throne lands and believes that Amarae is the power behind the titan and believes she also represents the magic of the soul. Her power she offered to the titan is formed from that soul magic - or twin magic if used as a pair.   Though every titan, upon it's creation, came with a counterpart, these counterparts are not seen as stricly evil. However, there are some counterparts that are frequently seen as such. Notably those whom are deemed to be likely candidates for the seorsum (the undoing). Should the times of the joining not occur or should the joining be insufficient it is said that a day will come when other titans will become previlant.
  The symbol for Hebes is an anvil - is at times used by smiths. She is often seen as the rival to Erebur   The symbol for Estu is a brazier - is at times used judiciary. He is often seen as the rival to Amarea.
The most common varient of the symbol is this. Representing the joining of Mind, Eye, Heart and Spine.
