Osmanian

The Osmanian Religion, (Os-may-knee-in), is an extremely large religion stretching across the central region of Liberos. The Head of the Religion is the Grand Pope, while the leading god is the legendary warrior god, Bemous. The relgion first became approminatly B1E-1000, and spread across Umon. It was first discovered sometime in the 4th Century BC1 on Faltos, and first noted in Susland around B1E-150. The Kingdom Of Osmax and Kingdom Of Osami both claim to have created the religion although neither one can accurately be given the claim. The culture of the religion is based around the worship of a high god whose power decides which people live in prosperity, and which people live in horrible famine and poverty. Osmans as they are called, worship Bemous to extreme measures building churches, statues, and spreading the love and power of the great figure. Osmans evolve throughout the next few eras, slowly becoming more and more aggressive as outside religions and cultures pressure them, eventually turning into entire holy wars raging across the continents. The ancient scripture of the religion is the Book Of Sorrow, written by Bemous's Holy Son, the Archangel. The book is usually interpreted by Osmans that outsiders are wild and uncivilized, and those who do not worship Bemous cannot be trusted.

The Archangel shapes stories in the book based on prosperity and happiness as a small tribe accepts their god as the "one". But soon, an outsider comes and joins the tribe and becomes a figurehead in the community, but then they discover that he worships Khalios, the father of the Anti-Archangel. Soon th tribe falls into terrible warfare and mayhem. The book ends with the sentence ringing out of Bemous's mouth, "War.... Death.... Sorrow..." The book is often interpeted by Osmans that outsiders are wild and uncivilized, and those who do not worship Bemous cannot be trusted.
