The Apostles of the Hyperion, The Holy Goddess of Light

The sun is God; its warmth, its light is our blessings. Hyperion is the creator, protector, and savior, and all other gods are false. You are known as The Faithful, The Chosen, The Apostles for as long as you follow Her tenants and obey Her will and Her servants. The Book of Hyperion is the guide to living and the way to achieve happiness in this and the next life. This book shows you how to convert new followers with behavioral techniques suited to attract the most available people as possible. You must live a life of purity, a life without sin. To kill, steal, rape, idolize any god but Hyperion, or fornicate out of wedlock are the greatest sins of all. What you create must be bright in Her name, as all things are. Glass and crystal and all things that reflect Her radiance are of the utmost importance when crafting. You are expected to live a life of purity and devotion. Prayer is to be done three times a day, at sunrise, midday, and sunset, lasting through the solar event each time. Follow the books of Ybna, Hyperion, and Dybhor to better understand and live by Her word. Go forth and spread Her word for it is Truth and Just and all who share Her glory in life shall share Her glory in the beyond. All who resist Her are heretics and are worth not the air they breathe. Yet be wary in the lands of strangers for only in Her grace can the heretics and heathens be sought and plucked out like the weeds they are.

Ethics

Commonly cited verses To lay with a brother is as to lay with a pig (Ybna 52:12) To lay with a daughter is as to lay with Typhon (Ybna 52:19) Blessed are the children and their keepers (Hyperion 11:12) Judge not lest ye be Her Voice on Perdition (Dybhor 7:9) Her Voice has decreed: All born of the Greenskin abominations are abominations themselves To touch the shadow is to be tainted and corrupt. Burn it away. Eat all that lays on Perdition but not what carries its home with it for it hides itself from Hyperion’s gaze and consorts with Shadow (no shellfish) (Ybna 43:8) Wear not the skin of the dead, only cloth made with Hyperion’s Grace is worthy of human(oid) touch (no furs, only woven cloth) (Ybna 47:22)
