Deities

Apart from the Cyad, all the other cultures and planets hold spiritual beliefs. Their belief systems vary, but they are all fundamentally connected, and many of the deities and rituals are prevalent on more than one world.

Planet Soul Concept 

It is a widely held belief throughout the Fenian Galaxy that there is a symbiotic link which connects the structure of each planet to everything upon it, including the rocks, soil, minerals, flora and fauna. This belief forms part of the crystal theory which is taught as part of the sorcerer’s arts. Each planet is regarded as a living entity in its own right and it possesses a consciousness which is known as the Planet Soul. There are various terms for the Planet Soul.

  • On Viria, it is called the Viristraan.
  • On Malvania, it is called the Vanistraan.
  • On Sartoria, it is called the Seed.
  • In Carpathian culture, it is known as the Circle.
  • In Varagan culture, it is known as the Varageye.

The Cyad Confederacy refuses to acknowledge such a concept and all references to it are considered to be nothing more than fairy tales. Hence on Mondias and Yttria, belief in the Planet Soul is strongly discouraged and very few citizens would openly acknowledge it.
