'''Yuserism''' is a religion with a considerable following around the globe.
=Beleifs=
Amongst Yuserists, it is believed that a prophet is born on Urth every 5000 years to preach what is called "The Truth". Other religions are generally accepted within these spheres, as the belief is that their dieties are simply misconceptions of Yuserist ones.
=Deities=
Yuserists believe in many deities, though
Though some Yuserists dispute this, ancient illustrations carved into stones indicate that all gods have both an animal form and a human form. The latter is also debated, as other carvings demonstate that the gods can turn into any species to fit in with the populus during their visits on Urth.

=== The Seven Ancients ===
The Seven Ancients were the first gods, "created" (some use the term "caused") by The Infinite Loop. They are also known as the Felines, since their true appearence is of creatures in the ''Felidae'' family.
==== Grandalfa, God of Wisdom ====
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
Clothed by old graying clothes, and looking as an frail old bearded man, it would be near impossible to such a person to be a god. In fact Grandalfa have walked among the mortals of Urth since the existence of mankind unnoticed. Among the most wisest mortals his existence is noticed and respected, but for though who is held back by blissful ignorance he would not even be remembered. Though Grandalfa prefers that, as he can then walk among them will little issue. With his continued look out for knowledge, as such he studies both the wise and ignorant. While rarely use his power, according to ancient texts his power was shown to be avaible to control the very knowledge of mortal men.
==== Mortgentum, God of Life ====
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
And so he wandered with a new purpose, ever promising, ever manipulating, ever gaining power. And so, even as a mortal, he earned respect and power. His influence grew, and soon, he was in control. Using his web of powerful servants, he found where the Dreamweaver's cult hid, and he travelled to it, manipulating the people he came across until he had an army of followers, gorging on the promises and lies of this expert deceiver. And so the disgraced god of power arrived at the Dreamweaver's lair, reclaiming his spear and thus his divinity.
With his power returning to him, Lerasi pointed his spear at the hideout, blasting a large crater in the ground, destroying the lair of evil, and rewarding his followers with the land. They would soon develop city states, squabbling nations that fought for power through war and manipulation. Just the way Lerasi would intend it. '''»'''
Frontierwood Crater, located in the wilderness of northwestern [[Aivintis]], is believed to be the one created by Lerasi. Scientists have stated that the crater is quite abnormal but was most probably caused by a very large meteorite impacting the Urth. Most research has been carried out through satelite imagery due to the remoteness of the location.

==== Sowel, God of the Mind ====
'''«''' Sowel was originally a human whose family ruled over a significant kingdom. When he was 3, the kingdom was invaded and he was taken as hostage by the conquering kingdom. He was emasculated, raised as servant and forgot about his past. When he was 16, he was told the truth and started to look for answers asking people and searching through archives secretly. He was caught and had to explain himself to the queen: she forgave him but he figured he was not in the right place, serving for the ones that invaded his fatherland and killed his family. He went through several lands after that, searching for his place and always looking for answers to his spiritual questions. During his voyages, he met a royal comittee whose king wanted to talk with him, seeing his strange clothes. That king was [[Yuserism#Lerasi, God of Manipulation|Lerasi]], the Yuserist God of Manipulation. They mutually shared knowledge and the king was impressed, so he accepted him and asigned him the duty to preserve knowledge by being his first administrator of the royal library. Sowel looked everywhere for stories, legends, religions, history and all the things lost in the depths of time. The work of his life resulted in the creation of the biggest library the world had ever seen, to which people from all around the known and unknown world came to share knowledge and to learn. But Sowel still felt alone, among books, but alone. He progressively fell into sadness, and decided to resign from the library and travel again. He didn't come back this time: he instead found a better life in the mountains, where some people say he can be still seen sometimes. Some also say he found a partner with whom he could share his knowledge and live peacefully away from all the busy life in the kingdom. In the end, peace was all he was searching for. He has since been become the god of the mind and preservation, his true and destined purpose. His legacy is still visible to this day, as many of the myths and legends were preserved by his work that has inspired generations. '''»'''
Evidence shows that the legendary library might've existed but it was most likely destroyed in an earthquake.

==== Yustinian, God of Dreams ====
'''«''' In the ancient days, when man was new, they did not have access to the infinite tumults within their collective minds. During this long first day while man still thought their thought lacked perspective. This was until the first night when the first men slept. With their first dreamings man was scared, for their dreams looked directly into the Infinite Loop leaving humanities young minds burned by their visions. This unconscious cry by humanity for relief from their own sight formed something out of the Loop. It started as a great mist obscuring the truths of the cosmos behind its mass. Over time as the minds of man grew in power and strength and concepts the mist began to form into more distinct shapes and as the gods gained prominence the mist formed itself into a god of its own, Yustinian the Dreamweaver. On his great loom where he uses the minds of humanity to weave the cloth of the Infinite Loop into the tapestries of dreams the god wishes to inform humanity of the truths of existence which he is privy to directly. With this the god sees the formation of full and complex kingdoms to further obscure the truth in the minds of humanity. With this the god began to give those humans that he saw as being the closest to being able to see this truth based on those dreams he wove for them teaching them how to spread the knowledge of this to others through his sacred vapors created through the sacred mixture then immolation of many potent plants giving them the sight to see past the woven mist that he created and strengthening them so their minds would not be harmed by doing so.
