I am working on my game Brotherhood still, I need feedback for one of my game's religions. I warn you that this is pretty long.
Here is some of the text from the original books of the Six Saints Divine:
The Book of Saint Verde the Faithful of Giansi
Verse 19: And as I tilled the land, the LORD spoke to me saying, "TAKE UP ARMS NOW. I AM WITH YOU, SO YOU AMY FEAR NOT. TRAVEL INTO THE DARKNESS TO MEET YOUR BROTHERS." And I accepted his voice.
Verse 25: As I travelled the wayward path into wilderness, I trusted in the LORD, and found favor with him.
The Account of Eden, by Saint Pathos the Meek of Kilenrel
Verse 5: As I stepped out of this world to the next, the LORD GOD spoke to me once more saying, "YOU SHALL THROW STONES, AND VANQUISH THE ENEMY OF GOD. FEAR NOT, AS I CREATED MY ENEMY AND YOUR BROTHERS, AND WITH BROTHERS YOU SHALL SLAY OUR ENEMY."
Verse 6: And i travelled to meet my kin at a place called 'The Hilden.'
The Book of Blood, by Saint Aequis the Just of Calmore
Verse 12: With my brothers in truth, I brandished a blade of steel and crossed the threshold into darkness, in to a place GOD called 'The Hilden.'
Verse 13: In the darkness we walked, I smelled man and beast's rotting flesh, the smell of gaul, and the roars of creatures and men. I was in anguish.
Verse 14: But just as He did before, GOD touched my heart with his mighty hand and commanded me to fear not, as he protected us.
The Scribes of The War of The Hilden, by Saint Hedron the Strong of Muire Agat
Verse 36: The creature dug dirt as we stood, his eyes like yellow and black skin. GOD spoke to the monster and called him "BAEL, THE OPPOSER OF LIFE, THE ENEMY OF SALVATION, THE PERPETUATOR OF THE UNCLEAN." We stood firm like a stone to build a temple on, we would battle with a living monster.
Verse 37: Bael cursed GOD as he dug the earth, letting open the door of his final prison which is called Hell, letting loose legions of fallen angels into our realm.
Verse 38: The demons fled from my brothers and I, it is part of GOD's vengeance to let them into the world to finish Bael's corruption of the races, as GOD is wroth with infidels.
Verse 39: They entered the world to poison the populace with sin and created monsterous demons to hurt men, so they may lead the world into Hell when they perish from the face of Athalia.
Verse 40: Bael drew swords of fire, and two shields of men's flesh to wage war on our force of GOD.
The Book of Legions, by Saint Alexis the Brave of Shinharaqin
Verse 5: Bael called forth six legions of satans with the power to destroy men and devour their bodies, these the LORD called "GREATER DEMONS."
Verse 6: Bael breathed soot, like a pit of fire spews black smoke. His roar was as a death scream of a woman sevenfold, that it was to make us deaf.
Verse 7: Bael commanded demons GOD called "FURIES" to devour my brothers in GOD, but GOD ravaged their bodies into ribbons as they may suffer greatly in agony.
Verse 8: Other demons brought forth war devices of men's flesh and bone to kill us, but the LORD blessed us with much knowledge of magiks that we may benefit. Magik was given to all the world at that moment.
Verse 9: Many years passed as we battled; Bael spoke to us and said, "I know GOD, He is our father together, we are one. But I am greater than men and all races of the world, and even the race of angels. You have GOD, but even he is a failure, and he is weak."
Verse 10: And it came to pass that Bael's army fell at our hand and begged GOD for mercy. Bael repented and begged not, even as he lay in pain and his blood. GOD wrapped him in a chain to subdue him and punish him.
The Book of Peace, by Saint Obus the kind of Barbara
Verse 87: When it was finished the LORD said, " GO FORTH AND GATHER A FLOCK THAT MAY WORSHIP ME WHOSE SUM IS FIVE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT." And we went forth to our tribes and each chose nine hundred eighty eight.
Verse 88: Our flock brought forth heavy stones to The Hilden, where Bael lay chained, and GOD was the architect of Eden, the Six Temples, and the House of Rebirth.
Verse 89: The House of Rebirth had a veil, where the flock may enter in and be cleansed of afflictions in the blood of lambs everlasting.
Verse 90: There was great joy in the House of Rebirth. The blind would see, the lame walked, and the sick were healed through the baptism and love for GOD. The flock flourished.
Later, the Saints die, are ressurrected and preach to the "poisoned nations and tribes" before being taken into Heaven.
Years after the saints depart, the city of Eden and the temples are wrought by God opening up the door to hell and freeing Bael once again, as punishment for people's wicked ways. Many modern nations practice the teachings of the Saints, and even search the globe for the lost city of Eden for the House of Rebirth.
God has abandoned the people of Atahalia, and has let monsters and demons run free for thousands of years.
Now, the world of Atahalia has many nations and cultures, much like our world. If anyone wants to know more about the modern world of Athalia, the story of my game, or anything about how anything in Athalia works, what the nations are like, how magik works, the technology, the governments, etc. just post your questions here and I'll try to answer them all.
Any feedback or comments are welcome.
