The Beginnings of the Inetist Religion

The Inetist religion was founded by a Philana by the name of Freeman Jymes. It was founded five years after the end of the Awakening Summons War, in which the gods came and walked among the troops as mortals. The Inetist religion became the sole religion of the Chilkit Coalition and remained that way for close to two thousand years. With the opening of the Greater Galaxy, converts to every major and minor galactic religion can be found today.

The Intetists believe in three gods which dwell in the Celestial Shrine. They are:

• Lunitaria - is the god of what little magic there is in the Coalition. She is the one who grants the spells of the casters, and determines the price. Lunitaria is also the patron god of business, the sea, and evolution.
• Gornia - is the god of the planets. It is he who keeps the planets spinning on their axis, it is he also who keeps them around the sun. Gornia is the patron god of nature, animals, plants, and all other life. All the planets sprung from his Garden.
• Thela-Karlin - is the patron goddess of all that is evil. She is the half sister of Lunitaria. Gornia is her brother. She is the patron god of death, disease, and decay. She is the god of weaponry and of warfare. She relishes in bloodshed, and those that do evil are brought to her temple, there to be determined their sentence. She controls the evil in all of us, and it is only through the willingness to do right that she is trapped in the Celestial Shrine by her half sister and brother.

The Garden referred to above is found in this myth from the Declaration, the holy book of the Inetist religion:

The Garden is a paradise found in the Matriji Nebula found on the far side of the Coalition, close to the Three Sisters. The Celestial Shrine, the home of the gods, is where the Chilkit believe that their gods reside...

In the Celestial Shrine is a place unlike any other; the Garden. The Garden is tended by Gornia. It is said that every time he strolls through the Garden, his boots send rocks spraying into the air. The rocks then land in space, and it is on these rocks that Gornia paints his portrait of life. The perfect world, the Chilkit homeworld, was created when Gornia became angry with himself. He was unable to create the master race that he wanted. And so, in a blind rage, he kicked the gravel in his Garden.

The rocks once again sprayed into space, but one in particular had life on it, perfect life from the Garden. Gornia saw potential in this. He gifted the planet with life and watched as it grew up, watched as they went out into the heavens to explore beyond the mother world, and he was happy.

The Garden is where all go when they die if they are worthy of the presence of the gods.

The Inetist religion was essentially destroyed in the Worker Rebellions when the people stoned all the Inetist priests and believers who would not forsake their gods in the streets.
