Religion

Even though human society now a days is secular there are a few old religions around. The two biggest being Confessus and Neophyte.

Confessus
Confessus is the biggest religion in the world and based on the ancient myth of the four elemental demons. It preaches that the world was made in the constant battle between the demons, but as the war continued it was doomed to be ripped apart again. In the end the benevolent gods and their angels stepped in and killed the corrupt and evil demons, to save the world from destruction by their constant battles.

Demon bloods are seen as sign of the demons corrupt influence still lingering in the world. The reason demon bloods don’t occur in humans is contributed to the gods. It is believed the gods themselves created humans, therefore they are pure beings without corruption.

Proelior
This is a branch of Confessus that believes that the battle between gods and demons still rage. Every year they look up in the stars and predict the end of the world.

Neophyte
Another important religion is the Neophytes. The main difference from Confessus is the view on the demons. They preach that you should be thankful to the demons that were killed by the gods, as they gave up their lives so the world could continue existing. They have a holiday celebrating this were they re-enact the war called Thankssaying. Some Neophytes even go so far as to say that humans are the children of the elemental demons.

Needless to say Neophytes are not liked by Confessus. In the old days they were described as demon worshipping savages. Even if attitudes have changed with a more secular society discrimination against people with Neophyte heritage still happens.

Tribes
The neophytes are organized into four main tribes, each tracking their herritage back to one of four original demons. Natrualy these tribes are big and therfore devided into subtribes, each with their own local culture.
