Vatoral: Difference between revisions

"Vatoral" comes from the proto-ayaupian "Vatel", meaning an "element". As Vatoral is the ayaupian name, foreign countries sometimes call it "Vatoralism".

The religionVatoral is founded on a balance between the four elements - fire, water, air, earth - that are believed to be inhabited by spirits, who foundatedcreated the world as it isthemselves. The balance is basedmade onof opposite and complementary forces. Major opposite forces: fire is opposed to water, as air is opposed to earth, which arewhile the majorminor oppositions,opposites asare earth and water, as well as fire and air. areThe secondarycomplementary opposites,forces whileare earth and fire, also air and water, are complementing each others.

There are two attributes to these elements : earth and air are "mineral", as they are staticmotionless and completedcompact, water and fire are "organic", as they are moving and formatingliving.

AreIn relatedaddition to the four"natural elements", exist two "human elements" : the "body", linkedrelated to earth and water, the "spirit", linkedrelated to air and fire.

To punish the egoistic spirit, the four others transformed them into an element that, if animated, wouldn't have any power and couldn't do anything dangerous, therefore turned into a single humansentient. That humansentient individual was made by a bit of each element, as hethey couldn't be a unique and pure essence, therefore losing its power. As to be sure to lower its abilities, hethey waswere divided into two humanssentients completely opposed by nature, a wanmale and a womanfemale. Since then, that spirit tries to obtain power again by making menmales and womenfemales attracted by each other, thus populating Urth with humanssentients, which are multiple forms of himself. It is believed that if humanssentients want to reproduce, it can only be explained by the condemned spirit desperate to get a revenge on the elemental spirits.

Homosexuals and other non-heterosexuals were seen as abnormal as they couldn't reproduce, and as the spirit inhabiting each individual is determined to perpetuates himself by reproducing with opposite sex, they were creatures where the spirit couldn't find a way and got stuck, thus they were considered as "spiritless" or soulless beings. This is why a lot were considered inferiors beings or even non-beings, and there was an urge to avoid them by any mean, because approaching or killing them would give a curse, as being unable to find unity and eternal purity. Although, Asconism is distinguishable by a radically different view, in opposition to Palayonism and Nestonism - homosexuals are unique and rare beings who escaped the spirit's will by not being able to reproduce, which is here seen as an advantage, completely freed from the spirit they are more able to find internal unity. They are respected and popular, even praised, possessing highly ranked roles in society.
