The [God Emperor] religion is a polytheistic human religion based around the legendary ruler [Emperor]. It is the largest religion within the human civilization with many different adaptations.
Beliefs
Its followers believe that the [God Emperor] is the patron deity and progenitor of humanity, who descended from the heavens in his true form, the dragon, while carrying his one thousand [spirit warriors] in order to stop the [apocalypse].
His wife was the Empress of the Moon who was commonly believed to be a daughter of the moon, and therefor a goddess herself. Some creeds don'[t accept this and instead consinder her a lesser demi-god. She is often worshipped as the protecter of the hearth.
Their children, the Profane Sorcerer, the Heir of the Heavens and the General of the Crimson Legion are believed demi-god and their descendants are consindered holy. This is a belief that rose in popularity during the rise of the 4 Kings from the 3 Dystanies of the demi-gods' descendants and is also believed to be a result of propaganda.
The fourth childen, the False Dragon, is believed to be a fallen god who has lost his divinity due to his blasphemy of performing blood rituals that transformed him in a great serpent, a false dragon.
Another important figure of this religion is the General of the six-handed, who betrayed the Emperor and killed him. He and his people were thrown to the [abyss] as punishment.
Since the Emperor was only the physical manifestation of the Great God, his soul was reicarnated to the Great Heavens, where he resides and welcomes the souls of the worthy humans.
There is a sect that believes the God Emperor was not actually the Great God himself, but instead was his champion who received the great blessing and a Divine Mandate to rule humanity. According to this belief, the God Emperor was guided here to stop the [apocalypse]. The Divine Mandate is not only for the Emperor's descendants, but anyone who can prove their worth before the Greater God can receive it and rule as Emperor.
