A World After Humans: Fantasy Cultures & Faiths

Cultures and faiths of my world

For the project, I'm mostly gonna go into the religions and cults of this world. I'll expand this and add other cultural stuff in the future!

Sun Worshippers

About Beliefs
The belief that their sun, Sofyel, is a god who created the world.
  • Occasional worship of 5 moon goddesses
  • Give thanks to the sun daily
  • Myths also involve the Dark Sun (a nearby black dwarf star), either as an evil figure or simply another side of Sofyel

Muse Control (regional to Yumior)

About Beliefs
Ancestral religion surrounding a myth of 13 Muses and their leader, Cysa.
  • The 13 Muses inspire creativity, and to harness it you must control and trick them
  • Not exactly about worship as much as belief in creative magic
  • Has several schisms, the largest one about worshipping the leader of the Muses as a figure of feminine power
  • Names and references pop up in media all over the world, but genuine belief is mostly specific to Yumior

The only known religious cult

About Beliefs
Most cults in Verdenzye are drug cults or shady businesses. The only well known religious cult is a schism of Muse Control surrounding a supposed 14th Muse who inspires suffering. They believe he is chained up in Zerif's giant labyrinth.
  • Worships an idol who suffers in eternity for the good of his followers
  • The 14th Muse, Siluet, was supposedly a mortal man who betrayed another deity, and now pays the price for his selfishness by granting boons to his followers when they perform a violent ritual
