Zantruism

"The Mother does not discriminate between Her children." -Erunestant Sindarin, Druid Zantruism is an Animistic religion very common among forest dwelling races such as Wood Elves and the Fey.

Beliefs
Zantruism is built around Zantru Zawx, also known as The Mother, a cosmic entity representing the connection between every living being in the Multiverse, from the mightiest Titan to the moss that grows beneath the rocks

Tenets

 * Freedom. All the children of Zantru Zawx are born free. To imprison and/or enslave another living being is a crime against the Mother herself.
 * Equality. All the children of Zantru Zawx are born equal, having their role in the balance of nature. Supremacy and prejudice are misguided lies.
 * Life. All the children of Zantru Zawx are born with the right to live.To kill needlessly is a perversion of nature's laws. Because of that, most Zantruists are stricty vegetarian; others pray to the Mother for forgiveness after hunting, and will not kill anything they don't intend to eat.

Afterlife
According to Zantruism, all those who die go back to Zantru Zawx as part of Her essence. Those who commited crimes against the Mother, however, are doomed to wander the planet in a state of undead until they're purified.

Brief Story
The origins of Zantruism are unknown, as the belief exists in Faeria since the dawn of time. Most scholars, however, agree that a Dryad named Eldora was the first Zantruist Cleric in the Material Plane. After two weeks of nonstop meditation under a gigantic oak, Eldora had an out-of-body experience in which the very essence of the Multiverse guided her to the ultimate knowledge of Nature. After returning, Eldora wrote the tenets of Zantruism at the oak's bark with her own sap. That oak is now known as The Elder Tree and is located at the Elven kingdom of Ishtarí, being the most sacred location to the Zantruist religion.
