Cybele

Chaotic Good Goddess of Water.

Cybelism

Cybelism is the established monastic order following Cybele, a Neutral Good god. It believes everything came from the water which formed everything the known universe currently exists of.

May the spirit of the silent sea be the calmness within me. May the spirit of the river provide the strength I need in battle. May the spirit of lake provide the power I need to heal. May the astral spirit stand by my side in moments of need and bring balance to the world.

History

The religion seems to have existed since the beginning of time itself. As records go back to the religion being taught by Cybele herself. Although not many devoted acolytes have reported seeing her the last few centuries. The temple always has a single leader in charge called "The Ajari Kuna" who gets to decide over matters not clearly written in their religion. This Ajari Kuna is decided by Cybele herself every time a new one is needed. Currently it is the 5th Ajari Kuna who has been in power for over 3000 years.

Tenets of Faith

Cybelism follows 4 mayor virtues as taught by Cybele. These are considered the 4 bodies of water all life consist of.

The Silent Sea, stands symbol for meditation and rational thought, monks meditate for the majority of their life contemplating the meaning of life and trying to achieve enlightenment.
The river, stands symbol for strength and combat, the warrior-monks (not all monks) trained for the remainder of their time of the day in the temple.
The spirit of the lake, stands symbol for magic and divine power, whilst the water possesses physical healing properties, this spirit is also referred to for emotional healing properties. Like forgiving, making amends and doing what is right.
The final body of water, the astral is a reference to the otherworldly water. Many request aid from this spirit as their final test for enlightenment, using both the body and the mind to it's full potential. This power is very sacred and is very hard to study.

The followers of Cybele believe that only male monks should be allowed in the temple and females are only used for gathering food and reproduction. Even though there are records of female monks being among the highest of their ranks, not many females are allowed in and most succeed by lying to enter the temple.
