==Religion - Entil'Zha or The One Who Creates The Future== | |||
Unlike an actual religion of many where one would believe in one God or many gods, House Fanel believes in something they all called Entil'zha, or widely spoken as simply "The One". Not an actual person in reality like a god, but more as an ideal. They believe that there is a higher power, a higher level of understanding that every race currently has no means to attain at the moment because we have not yet ready to reach such a peak of existence. Since we do not understand The One who creates the future, we simply live in it. The One isn't one particular thing, or object or person. It is all around us, shaping us, influencing us. To compare, the closest thing would be to compare this to The Force. It binds us, it is all around us and it shaped the past, it shapes the present, and it will shape the future. They respect all other religions from other races, but this is the ideal religion they believe as to have faith in. Essentially, you have faith in literally yourself because The One is within you, and you have faith in who you are, what you do, and that it creates the future. This also means you believe in the others around you because they shape the present and the create the future as well. It allows you to have a natural respect for everything and everyone in your life. That in reality there is a natural balance that must be upheld and an order of things that comes to life. | |||
To this end, the Fanels have a saying: | |||
'''''We are Fanel Warriors.<br />We tread in the darkness no others will enter.<br />We do not break away from combat.<br />We stand on the bridges, and no one may pass us.<br />We do not retreat, we do not faulter.<br />We fight in the name of honor.<br />We live for the One, we die for the One.''''' | |||
But this mantra is reserve only for those who are either House Fanel born or dedicated loyalist to House Fanel. This includes the distaff cousins relations to House Fanel that doesn't bear the Fanel name, but remain loyal and within the House. | |||
House Fanel as influenced by the religion they believe in are all raised, but not necessarily believe in it. One consistency is that they believe they are, as a whole, a symbol of balance. That they take a path that knows there is no true evil or good in the universe. That good and evil are grey and to live a well off life, it is best to stay in between the good and evil, to live beyond good and evil. | |||
Hence they have another saying: | |||
'''I am grey.<br />I stand between the candle and the star.<br />We are grey.<br />We stand between the darkness and the light.''' | |||
This saying can be modified for use in groups, and "we" is added. If only one person is reciting this to himself, he would take away the we and replace it with only I. | |||
