Humanism
"By the memory of my fathers, in the halls of their glory, I walk amidst the ancestors. Guided by my own free and mortal hand in the miasma of sleep, I run towards my own divinity."
Divine Origins
In the climax of @[The Dark Ages], four sages set out to traverse the known world of man, setting out to the farthest corners of their kins domain. In this era of strife, man fought man with reckless abandon, and great powers trembled under the strain of internal division, and external invasion by the Elves during their great conquests.

Cosmological Views
Humanism teaches of four planes in all of creation:
- The Mundane - The material plane in which they live.
- The Arcane - A place similar to, but not quite like the Mundane. The seat of the Fae and Fel, the Elemental, and the Dreamweave
- The Divine - Home of the gods and the barrier between this reality and the next
- The beyond - A place utterly foreign, and beyond their comprehension, which is so far away as to not be of concern to most.
Worship
The faithful worship at rest and at wake. Dreams are an integral part of the faith and all of human society, being considered the conduit between themselves and the gods. During both normal slumber, and more intensely when conducted through the ingestion of sleeping spices at a temple. During these voyages through the night world, Humans travel through an exclusive plane known as the @[Dreamweave] and may commune directly with their gods, receive omens in the form of visions or trials, be thrust upon the steps of a foreign pantheon as a mode of enlightenment, or through great effort they may actively seek out and communicate with other Humans in the weave.
During the waking hours, Humans worship in a variety of methods pertinent to the portfolio of their individual and local cults.
