The Creed

The Selvian Creed operates solely on a singular set of rules, usually decreed by the council of Archprelates. These set of rules or “creed” is used to base the entire religion’s moral code and methods of conduct. In the modern form, this creed holds true to the following principles:

1. All followers of the Creed are to put other followers above themselves; in property or kindness.
2. All followers of the Creed shall stay faithful to their family; until by Ankouan’s claim declares them to be parted.
3. All followers of the Creed shall stay to their honor, and never allow it to fail themselves or their family.
4. All followers of the Creed shall honor Selvas on his Days of Bountiful Harvest, and hold prayer for him at every moment they take his blessing.
5. All followers of the Creed shall gain honor by donation to his Creed; one quill week.
6. All followers of the Creed shall hold true and defend the blessings and teachings of Selvas.
7. All followers of the Creed shall respect and honor Selvas’ domain, and pray for those who occupy it.
8. The Interference of Selvas’ permission to pass one’s soul to Ankouan is forbidden by all means; punishable by death.
9. The breaking of law, or to bring harm upon another Follower of the Creed, is at the sacrifice of one’s honor
10. As Man and Dryad are made in the Image of Selvas, he who is human or dryad shall be held in highest regard.
11. Violence against heretics and others with just cause is a noble and honorable practice.
12. Heretics who work through service in the church or service to the nations of Selvas without pay will lessen the weight on their soul so they can be reborn again.
