Agdarrism

The Holy Flock of Agdarr (Rhumisc: Hauliġ Flaukke ahf Agdarr), also known as the Holy Flock or Agdarrism, is the historic faith of the Rhumish and Gnibelen peoples. The faith is not enforced by law, but there is an air of purity and abosultism in Rhum, and descendants of the Rhumish, around following the faith and opposing potentially harmful, or subversive religions which oppose the fundamental values of the Rhumish people. The Flock is ceremonially headed by the Shepherd of Man, who has always traditionally been the eldest male descendant of Theuderik, and therefore the title of Serene Prince of Aakhan. The Flock realistically is adminstered by the so-called "Aelraes-Aertschaert" or (supreme bishop) who acts as the bishop of the Palatinate Cathedral in Aakhan, the most important temple in the Faith. Below the Aelraes-Aertschaert are a number of "Aertschaerts" - or bishops - who have administrative control over an "Aertschaertric" - or a diocese. Below the Aertschaerts are the standard members of the clergy, the Schaerts - or priests (literally meaning shepherds) - who have administriave control over a "parish", a number of which make up an Aertschaertric.

The religion follows principles and laws established through their holy scripture, the Chronikaen (Chronicles) as well as additional books created after the ancient Chronikaen.

The Holy Flock worships Agdarr - who takes the form as a Ram or Sheep - as their sole God and creator, and persecutes followers of Jodunn, Agdarr’s brother, who embodies destruction, death and darkness. Important symbols and messages in Agdarrism include respecting nature (this is embodied by the Aerdeboume - the tree which produces apples for Agdarr to create life) and viewing life like a Shepherd - each person his their own Flock to tend to, be it their family or their profession.

The Flock’s principal ideas and ways of life originate from the Ten Commandments of Agdarr and His Five Virtues for living. The Chronikaen is split up into three books: Entstaehung (Creation), Gesets (Law) and Geraechtigkyt (Justice). Creation depicts the creation of the Universe, humanity, nature and all other life as well as the War of the Giants, the Great Sin of Man and the Banishment of Jodunn to the underworld of Cyllum (where all unworthy and sinful souls are sent) while Agdarr creates the ancient Rhumish (Rhōmae) to guide Man and then ascends to his heavenly realm of Empyrien with the Aerdeboume to await the Day of Justice. Law depicts the final moments before Agdarr’s ascension to Empyrien where he imparts on His only son - a human by the name of Aeor - to lead the tribe of Pyrrhos and gives him His Commandments and Virtues. Justice depicts the prophecy of the end times, where after the world has been united under the faith for thousands of years that Jodunn will return and wreak havoc before eventually being destroyed forever by Adgarr, upon which He would return to Aerde and build a new Kingdom on the planet free of sin.
