Gnostic Chirhine

[b]Description[/b]
Harmony and inner-enlightenment birthed the Chirhine faith as a syncretic combination of Heilrhine to the east and Chiroism to the west: believing that Rhine created both the sun and moon and shaped the earth as we know it. nature and life is to be respected and honored for it is through admiration of all creation that one can begin to understand one's meaning and strive for perfection. Through study and introspection one can become master of their determined destiny and shield the faithful from the shadows that lurk in the darkness.
