The church of Pletz

Pletz roamed through the stars and found a star surrounded by a cloud of dust and rock. He collected that rock around himself and formed Gryst. He continues to forge Gryst and shapes it with several children which he bore from his own body. He also charged the titans with guarding over his other children, the races of Gryst.

Tenets of Faith

Never steal the work of another's hands and claim it as your own. Do not build for the sake of destruction.

Ethics

Plagiarism is a huge cultural taboo. Not only is a plagiarist not allowed to continue in academic endeavors, but they are ignored by all Pletzids as well as any who associate with them. It is also paramount for Plenitudes to build and create in peace. Interruptions are reserved for emergencies or for close family members who need assistance. However, family does come before work in a few cases such as when the family member is disabled or ill. Art is often made for charity as well. The needy deserve the same artistry and comfort as the wealthy.

Worship

One worships Pletz by being honest, working hard, and being respectful of natural beauty in stone and crystal. Though some gems are cut to bring out their beauty, gems are most often left in the rough in the place they were found or transferred to a sacred site to be revered and used as a conduit for holy energy and a focus of meditation.

Priesthood

In Pletzid culture, family names determine the roles people play in their society. Most priests have the surname of "Celestite" or "Angelite." because of the gems' asociation with devine energy. Priests are elected as parish leaders by deacons, but bishops and archbishops are elected by family members and fellow priests.

Pletz and his titans grant many power to their followers. Strength and courage are particularly prevailant. Followers are also granted a supernatural ability to tell when someone is lying, especially when they are taking credit from another.
