Ritosian/Religion and Mythology

In the past, the Ritosian factions were polytheistic, believing in many gods who were considered to be once-mortal beings that had earned immortality and extraordinary powers by achieving inner peace and understanding of the universe. Later on, major religious factions arose and soon abolished many of the old Pantheons.

Tanorism
Tanorism is the most subscribed to religion, ahead of Yirutanism and Omnitheism. Tanorists believe that the planet Rithos was built by the gods Givax, master of the Land; Hydirah, goddess of the water; Promorpheus, goddess of fertility and life, and the Master. The Master had no gender or physical as it was said to be the collective energy of all things, living and non-living. Because of this, the religion was named after it's first children: the god Tanon and the goddess Oris, embodying Life and Death, respectively. In this religion, death is considered the last step in the Journey of Existance where the deceased becomes one with the rest of the universe. This religion is practised mostly by the Singquen as well as some Katajhan.

Yirutanism
Yirutanist claim that the passage of time is not linear, but in a loop. They believe that the universe has always existed and will always exist up until and event that will "reset" the universe all the way back to the Mass Expansion. They believe this is caused by the release of Khunan (their equivalent of Oris) from an eternal sleep by a powerful entity, corrupting the mind of mortals. This is generally practised by the Katajhan and Ne'Turex.

Omnitheism
Omnitheists believe that all gods from all religions are one being, separated into many, many different forms. The basic beliefs of the religion mirror those of Tanorism but instead say that their planet had existed since the birth of the Master at the exact moment the Mass Expansion began. There are few followers of this religion because it is considered immoral and profane, giving rise to discrimination and violence against them. The religion itself does not tolerate violence of any form/
