Solaric Church
A polytheistic denomination church which worships stellar objects. Originally the religion would worship the planets, moons, and stars believing that they were truly the gods of the world. Science has changed the universal viewpoint to believing that the gods resonate with a specific planet or star. It is the most common religion in the entire story system
History
When the religion was first founded, before the general populous had a clear understanding of astronomy and telescopes of the time had trouble making out distant planets, the gods were restricted to just the stars and the planets and moons within the Midas system. Discoveries in astronomy has also challenged beliefs on who was the most powerful god. Originally it was believed that God Olyn was the most powerful god since it was the biggest object in the sky and persisted during night time. However with the discovery that Olyn orbited Midas and Midas had more mass, it was questioned if Goddess Midas was the most powerful god until later the discovery that God Achilles was the biggest star also questioned who was more powerful. The final discovery to question who was most powerful was when Hades was discovered to be an object which everything orbited. Not only that, but the pantheon saw numerous expansions as newly discovered planets would generate new gods
