Important DEITIES, Groups, LORES and religious practices
A. Deities, their religions and practitioners
Annatah
Annatah is a cosmic being of creation and rebirth. It is the main deity revered by the mages of Terra City. Annatah is believed to have given birth to all magic in the realms and is thus the main power source for the mages. Only a select few can summon Annatah using summoning cards. Only one individual ( our MC) has ever been able to draw upon the power of the Annatah and summon it without any anchor (the summon cards). Those who follow the path of Annatah are known as the Order of the First.
The Omniarch
A being that is the embodiment of divine justice and retribution. The Omniarch exists to maintain order and balance whilst delivering justice. A special sect exists that carries out The Omniarch's verdict upon the world. This sect is known as the Omniarchy, only their Supreme Judge summons The Omniarch using the summoning card.
Death
The cosmic embodiment of death and annihilation. The natural opposite of Annatah and a necessary balance in the cycle of life. This deity is revered by an organization of assassins who call themselves The Undead take on commissions from various groups and individuals without discrimination. They view themselves as a necessary evil. Death is too powerful an Avatar to summon as it drains the life force from its summoner hence its wielders summon various hosts of death to carry out assassinations and in battle.
Althera
The Goddess of Chaos and Destruction. This being is revered by The Brotherhood of Night who seek to wreak chaos and destruction on the world. They seek world dominance and to do so, they capture and corrupt powerful mages whilst stealing the power from any mage they encounter and defeat should said mage refuse to join their order. No one can summon an Avatar of Althera but it is their wish to bring her down into the world of mortals in a human vessel. That is why they go after powerful mages as they seek for one who is powerful enough to host the goddess.
Python
A powerful divine protector. Python is not summoned, he appears. Very rare instances of Python being summoned have occurred. Python is usually linked to child summoners who discover their magical ability at a very young age and are magically vulnerable. This divine protector acts as a magical guardian until they find their chosen order. Python however will not manifest itself to any child who is corrupted by the dark magic of Althera. Python is believed to be another form of Death because of its affiliation with The Undead whilst others believe he is another form of Annatah because of his protective and life preserving nature but there has never been any evidence to prove any of the theories. Python will not appear as a summon until the child in question is in grave danger or has fully mastered their abilities.
B. Lores
The Magic System
Magical practitioners are able to summon magical creatures and beasts using Summon Cards ( with exception to MC and one past grand master of The Order of The First). The summon, outside of major deity summons , is dependent on imagination and power level as well as deity influence. Originally, all magic is awakened by every individual's connection to Annatah but when a person swears an Oath to another deity, they then draw their magic from that deity and from there forth their magic and summons will be influenced by their deity.
