The Rodulans are highly religiously homogeneous and many follow the Ozara Sect of Dikkenism. Dikkenism is a rather loose religion without much dogma to it and in fact preaches a limited form of skepticism in blind prostration, ritual and prayer and Dikkens should always be questioning the rationale of their belief system so that it can be modified to suit the times. The Rodulans worship a Goddess called The Artist and see the universe as her canvas. The Artist sees all and keeps her masterpiece forever in balance and ever changing. It is believed that The Artist bestowed the Prophetess Dikken with a series of prophecies and when she disappeared, Dikken was taken to the side of The Artist to help her further paint the canvas that is the Universe. | The Rodulans are highly religiously homogeneous and many follow the Ozara Sect of Dikkenism.
