Gadarenism

Structure

Gadaren religion is presided over by the Council of Nine. The council declares prophet status, and forms new sects and coagulates them together depending on whether an Era of Chaos or an Era of Order has been declared.

Culture

The Gadaren creation myth holds that the Monad (oneness) and the Pleroma (plurality) have each fought to engulf all reality. They believe that this fight has resulted in many worlds that exist as split timelines, and that this fighting is therefore responsible for the very existence of time. Therefore each and every choice will be made as a unique chess move by either entity, drawing realities toward unity or entropy.
This balance is said to be upheld by prophets of creation and destruction, with a new prophet declared every millennia. Gadarenes believe that their fate requires this conflict to continue for all eternity, and that total peace or total war threatens this careful balance.
Gadarenes tend to greet one another by saying "My name is X, for we are many", in order to represent their unity in this space, and their multitude across all realities.
