A brief religious history

There will probably be numerous religions, but I only have one main religion developed, and that is the one belonging to the followers of the Great Traveler, the Worldwalker, Ai’deason. The children of Ai’deason believe that the world was created by the Creator of Worlds, and that he subsequently created different aspects of himself, put them in a semi-physical form, and let those aspects govern as a unit. Originally the Aspects worked in harmony, and with care they tended the humans who lived in Faison.

There has always been a ruler (male or female) on the throne of Faison, and each ruler had power under one of the twelve Aspects, similar to the Chinese cycle of years. They govern under the work of all twelve Aspects, of course, but there is one in particular that each ruler functions under – a mascot of sorts.

The two highest Aspects are Keson and Elson, Keson being the higher of the two. In lust for power, Keson and the ruler of the throne of Faison rebelled, forming their own sect. Chaos was created, and since that time, there was war between Keson and the other Aspects, and the followers of Keson and the king that ruled then. Slowly the throne of Faison lost power, until the line of rulers was no more than a title, holding no real power and having no control of their people.

Caleb is from the line of rulers and is, by the cycle, a ruler under Keson. His child (should he have one) would be a ruler under Elson.

There is appeal in the followers of Keson, and the rebel group eventually manages to overthrow the Ai'deason and the true Heirs of Faison. This fractioned world is the one that Caleb, Lynn, and Amelie must set out to set aright.
