Religion

With the existence of The Founder and the Original Fairies, some religious sects have broken off, aiming to worship these beings. They have given these mythical fairies a 'God-like' status, whether or not that's really what they were.   The way in which these fairies are worshipped often varies depending on where one is and which group it is. Each has their own beliefs that they have assigned to these figures, and how they worship them differs as well. Oftentimes, the tales they weave are far from the true series of events that occurred all those years ago, but that does not matter to these fairies.

Some Guidelines on Faetalia Religion

 

• We ask that real world religion is not brought into Faetalia. While we don't really mind if you take aesthetic cues from catholicism or something or use a cross in your design. But that doesn’t mean fairy catholicism exists. Nor do we really care to have one-to-one replicas of real-world religion.
 
• Religion in Faetalia is polytheistic.
 
• However, this does not mean all fairies are religious or that all fairies believe in these things. Some people may not even see The Founder or the Original Fairies as something that actually existed. Or they do believe in those stories, but do not put them in this God-like position.
 
• If you plan to create your own 'religion', please understand that none of it would be real unless it is lore that the creators have established to be true. We are lenient that fairies can believe in things and give things a more spiritual purpose, but that doesn't make it canon to what actually occured or exists.
 
• We ask that religions do not contain puritanical aspects, nor that those who are apart of any religion look down on or try to convert those who aren't. We really do not want to bring in the harmful aspects of real world religion.
