Zenithism
Created around the worship of the creator-god Zenith and their seven archangels, Zenithism is the dominant global religion in Azos.
Divine Origins
The beginnings of Zenithism are rooted in the writings of the Great Prophet Aurelis, whom the land of Aurelis would later be named after. The land Aurelis lived peacefully as a Kingdom under Zenith until an unknown heresy led to the scorching of the land in an event known as the Cataclysm forced the Aurelins to flee to other lands.
The present clergy of Zenithism evolved from Artorigan political practices during the days of thr Holy City of Albion.
Cosmological Views
The world of Azos exists as a flat circle upon four great pillars standing above the Abyss: a blackened wasteland home to Daemons where no light shines that stretches out for an eternity.
Existing above Azos is Zenith's realm of the Empyrean; a kingdom in the night sky where everything is made from the dancing stars themselves and the souls of worthy mortals go to rest.
Tenets of Faith
1. None shall worship other gods before Zenith or deny Zenith's power

10. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted
11. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inheret Azos
12. All who seek forgiveness in the eyes of Zenith shall find salvation
Granted Divine Powers
Those sufficiently devoted to Zenith and the angels are granted divine magic from one of the seven archangels themselves.
