The Church of Vid
Vid is a guiding light. Let Them guide you to the answers you seek.Created in the first century After Dragon Keep, the Church of Vid, or the Vidian Church is the main religious organisation in most of the Known World. It is based on the Tales of the Light collection, a set of ancient documents transcribed, the originals lost, thousands of years ago. The Church's followers are known as Vidians. The Church of Light, as it is also known, follows the main deity of the Proper Pantheon, Vid. As such, it is ranked the highest of all in the countries in which They are worshipped. Vid Themselves are made up of two parts. The feminine, the Sun, and the masculine, the two moons of Vequesia.
Teachings
Like Vid Themselves, Strike at thy sins with no mercy. Shatter the continents of your mind if you must.
The Vidian Church is set around certain core principles, such as "divination is the magic of monsters and tyrants" and "all light is Vid and Vid is all light". Vidians believe that their Deity watches over them but will not interfere directly for the fear of once more shattering entire realms. Instead, They are believed to work through their followers, especially those blessed by a piece of divinity in birth.
Vidian mythology teaches that the world was once overrun by foul beasts who called themselves spirits and gods, beasts of no true intelligence and thus no compassion, no self-control, and no rules. The world was in chaos and nobody could prevent the death of innocents and the death of the very planet; moutains and valleys alike turned to empty deserts. When finally the gods awoke from their deep slumber, they sent unto these beasts those who worshipped them, with new weapons and powers.
With a thought alone, Vid could heal entire armies. When at last Their followers encountered the King of Beasts, Vid assisted with the final strike upon the False God for no mortal alone could do it and, in doing so, They broke the continent upon which they stood in three seperate pieces.
