TheologyPolytheism

The Church of the Divines, also known as the Aetheric or Arcanist Church, is an Arcane polytheistic religion based on the teachings of the Book of the Divines and the Arcane Genesis. Though it is one of the oldest faiths on Cinder, it does not have a large number of followers. Followers of the Church are called Arcanists, and they believe that the Divine Truth is in total loyalty to Order and opposition to Chaos.

Beliefs

The Church of the Divines states that the world began from a void. Within this void two primordial forces, Order and Chaos have passed through, and their interplay began forming the Great Expanse, a cosmic plane of souls that is both full and empty, and both still and flowing.
