Kult of the Kreator
Religion has all but vanished from Aell. There are some rather small communities, exercising some manner of worship to Divine Beings, otherworldly creatures or what have you since the fall of The Order. But none come close to the absurdity of those so-called Kreationists. They believe that a single entity has created the world, that we are all beholden to this creature's whims and that he can erase us with a stroke of his hand. Truly dangerous beliefs these people carry.
Structure
The Kreationists are not beholden to any structure. They are not led by anyone but instead make decisions through a council which is composed by the heads of each family. Their council rarely comes together as their location is remote enough that their decisions are self contained and worthless to other neighboring kingdoms.
They are inhabiting a single settlement within Krishna Isle, the small town of Sedalia.
Culture
They are self reliant, farming their land, fishing and going about their lives. They have not ventured outside their island for hundreds of years but are welcome of those who visit or simply want to stay. They are friendly until provoked or their faith is mocked.
Public Agenda
Kreationists have no public agenda, they simply live to worship the being they name The Kreator. They believe that this being has created the entire world and everything is decided on its mood and whims. He can erase kingdoms and entire continents with a stroke of his hand and is so powerful that he is omnipotent, omniscient among other things.
Assets
The island of Krishna is rather lush and full of natural resources which isallowing the Kreationists to live comfortably, given their few numbers. They don't believe in riches, so besides having more than enough to survive they forgo the rest of their wealth or assets.
History
The Kreationists came about shortly after the creation of Aell. According to them, they were always among everyone else but at some point they were chased off the main continent and onto the island of Krishna. Given the fact that this island is shaped like a K, it was seen as an omen and they vowed to never leave this place.
There have been efforts by individuals to take over and lead the Kreationists but such attempts are seen as unworthy of the Kreator's vision for Aell and are quickly abandoned.
Demography and Population
Any race or individual is accepted into the Kreationists.
Territories
Their territory starts and stops with Krishna Isle.
Military
Kreationists have a militia which trains every half cycle but has never been called into action due to their remote location.
Technological Level
Kreationists are quite simple in their ways, opting to not use technology or magic. Rather they rely on their own strength.
Foreign Relations
The Kreationists keep to themselves and are not bothered by geopolitical conflicts of any kind. They do maintain an alliance with Illion but it has never been called into effect by either of them.
Agriculture & Industry
Their farming, fishing is isolated within their island.
Trade & Transport
No trade with other kingdoms.
Education
Kreationist kids are send to school which consists of an adult home schooling them. Their main focus is how to best worship the Kreator and some basic geopolitical lessons.
Divine Origins
It is believed by some Kreationists that The Kreator is the same as what other religions and cultures call Thentiem. However they are not bothered by this, choosing to keep worshipping their Lord in their own way. It is believed that this is given as an explanation to outsiders when asked "Why is the Kreator not present, if he is so powerful?"
Tenets of Faith
- The Kreator knows all.
- The Kreator is all powerful.
- The Kreator sees all.
- The Kreator is everywhere.
- There is no end to the Kreator's greatness.
Ethics
Despite being seen as a bunch of isolationists, crazy cultists, the Kreationists keep to themselves and don't bother anyone else. They also have two days each year where they praise and honor the Kreator's birth. One for his actual birth and one for when he was given his name which is not known but is believed to start with a K.
