The Universal Church

The largest single church of Aru is the Universal Church, headed by a holy leader known as the Prime Second. The Universal Church focuses heavily on the doctrine that all of Aru’s many faces are simply aspects of a single, all-powerful god. To a Universalist, even the various racial gods worshipped by non-humans are merely Aru in disguise. The Prime Second has recently issued a statement that the gargantua are manifestations of Aru’s divine wrath at both the slaughter of the Great War and the diminishing numbers of traditional Universalist believers.

Mythology & Lore

The god worshipped by most is commonly known as Aru, meaning “the One.” Aru has many aspects, which his adherents focus on according to their needs. For instance, an Exonian sailor might worship Aru as Aru Ajurian, “the One Who Makes Storms,” while a Calerian farmer might pray to Aru Danath Sirilot, “the One Who Delivers Newborn Children Safely.”
