Order of Juda

The Order of Juda is a small religious group formed in the Underworld, which is a very odd as the underworld tends to be not be very religious.   The Order of Juda is an exception though, they are an offshoot of Fanentism that focuses on the Holy Adviser, Juda. Juda being the higher angel of justice and thus is believed to be the one responsible for sentencing souls to the underworld.   The Order is made of Demons who believe that if they were to repent and appease Juda, that their souls will be freed from hell. Some believe this will allow them to go to Overworld, other believe it'll resurrect them or even reincarnate them. What is known is that the goal is to leave the underworld and be given a second chance.

Tenets of Faith

  • Thou shall respect Juda and her laws.
  •  
  • Thou shall show remorse for their sins and repent through prayer.
  •  
  • Thou shall be charitable and kind to their fellow man.
  •  
  • Thou shall not engage in sinful behaviors.
  •  
  • Thou shall not disrupt prayer.

Worship

Members of the order are recolonized by the plain lavender robes they wear and the necklaces with Juda's symbol on them. The robes are designed for them to hide their demonic features obtained from exposure to the Underworld's magic.   The Order spend their time praying at their shrines, where they repeatedly apologize for the actions that got them condemned to hell. They also practice charity, and spend time helping and volunteering around the underworld, a level of kindness that is very uncommon.   The Order are very strict with their rules, and a member that falls into old, sinful habbits will be removed and shunned, as they believe that any bad eggs will ruin their chances at redemption.

History

Though the underworld is notorious for have the worst of society and overall being a cruel and unforgiving place to live, some demons feel some semblance of remorse for their actions. In underworld years, the Order is a very recent development, started by a few demons who believed that praying to Juda may allow them a second chance.   The group is not well respected at all. They are mocked and taken advantage of often, and their shrines are frequently vandalized. Unfortunately the order lack any evidence that their practices even work, as no one as ever been given that second chance they all long for. Still, the order continues in the hopes that one day Juda will hear them.
