Name:
Church of Babel
Religious Head:
King of Selardia
Emblem:
White flag with three Circles, orange(large), blue(medium), white(small) in a triangular formation with the orange one at top
Hierarchy:
King and Head of Church
Bishop
Priests
Info:
The most popular religion of Salardia, and has existed since the Kingdom was formed. The Religious head is the holder of the title of King of Selardia, which means during the Civil War era the Church of Babel actually had to operate without a leader, which weakened the unity of the Church. This weakness resulted in a rapid spread of the other existing major religions of Salardia, and as a result shaken the authority of the King.
The teachings of Babel is mostly directed towards a solid, calm nation ruled by the King, the leader chosen by the almighty God. The followers are demanded to have virtue on their acts and avoid poisoning one's mind and body with unnecessary hobbies, instead one should focus on their faith and loyalty towards the King. Of course this is not followed strictly, but in general unnecessary luxury tends to be frowned on by the Church. However in recent years other branches have formed in the Church, after mixing in with marketing theories, allows more flexibility in luxury as it would help the economy and the Kingdom as a whole with cash flows.

Name:
Cult of Gomorrah
Religious Head:
Great Elder
Emblem:
A black flag with a white Ship's wheel
Hierarchy:
Great Elder
Elder
Leader
Info:
A religion that wishes to abolish the existing government, and form a government where multiple leaders exists. They believe that having the King as the leader of the Church will simply bring corruption and disasters, and the recent happenings and civil war had added more fuel to the flames. They wish to return to an united tribal government, where the local leaders can each guide their people, and then bring back their needs to the negotiation table for debating with other leaders. The Cult also worships multiple gods rather than a single almighty god.
The advantage of this religion is that they have little restrictions compared to the Church, and simply wishes that the believers themselves will keep watch on their own actions. Unlike the Church there is no marriage restrictions either, and many of the younger generations that wishes for a more enjoyable life had chosen the cult over the Church. However due to the conflict between the laws of the two religion, the Church sees the cult as a heresy, and have placed great efforts into stopping the conversion of their followers. The result is the recent reform of the Church, but the cult continues to grow in recent times due to these ages of Chaos and the disappointment of some towards the two candidate for King.

Name:
The Church of Devanism
Religious Head:
die Gerade
Emblem:
Two hands in a handshake
Hierarchy:
die Gerade
Arch Bishop/High Paladin
Bishop/Paladin
Priest/Knight
Info:
A relatively new religion compared to the Church of Babel and the Cult of Gomorrah that seeks to simply have a better future with a bit of collective efforts on everyone's part. It was only a minor, folk group until it gained influence in the recent years due to the civil conflicts, but even so until a few years ago it was not a full religion. Under the leadership of their new die Gerade, the system was reformed so that the religious codes and teachings are organized, and were able to gain a footing in the Kingdom. Now the religion spreads like wildfire across the nation, with great support among the peasants and some of the more honorable nobles, and became a force that could not be ignored by the other two religion. The Church of Devanism does not worship a specific god, rather they focus on the nature, and of the duty that everyone should have in their life. They do however not reject the existence of the gods of other religions, and respect them as separate divine beings.
Devanism does not have strong restrictions on its followers, however they also do not let their people run free like the Cult. There are basic guidelines for the followers, and mostly focus on avoiding crime and to commit the daily good in order to make you a better person. One is not expected to give off all of their belongings, but they are expected to help out those in need. The Church themselves often carry out charity acts, providing aids to the poor, and a degree of free education to children just like the Church of Babel has attempted to do. The Church of Devanism also have Military Orders under them, merchants often ask them for assistance during the civil war for protection against bandits, in return they pay a fee to the orders that are used for their daily costs.
