== Elven Religion ==

Elven Religion is a very simple concept. Everything in the Universe comes from one source, and one source only, called Entropy. This source, however has many subdivisions. The Elves decided that it was easiest if divided into fives. The various races emphasize different paths of this religion - High Elf = Entropy (the total sum of everything), Justice, Magic etc. (I'll mail the religion stuff tomorrow) Wood Elf = Good, Life, growth etc. Dark Elf = Evil, Death, decay etc. Sea Elf = Chaos, War, intelligence etc. Elven Council = Order, Peace, instinct etc...

Entropy has 8 major divisions. Each major division has 5 subdivisions. The first division in the most powerful and the sum of all those below it, and so on. In order of power and importance, the major division are these :- The Forces, The Avatars, The Academics, The Physicals, The Great Powers, The Elements, The Personifications and The Manifestations.

The Forces - Entropy - Good, Evil, Order, Chaos.<br>
The Avatars - Justice - Life, Death, Peace, War.<br>
The Academics - Magic - Ethics, Politics, Physics, Probabillity.<br>
The Physicals - Nature - Growth, Decay, Instinct, Intelligence.<br>
The Great Powers - Fate - Love, Hate, Duty, Impulse.<br>
The Elements - Spirit - Water, Fire, Earth, Air.<br>
The Personifications - Imagination - Morality, Lust, Will, Emotion.<br>
The Manifestations - The dieties of other races.

The Manifestations are what Elves class other races' gods. When another race has a religion based on usually one or more humanoid gods with personalities and faults representing one of the Elven divisions of Entropy, it is called a Manifestation. This is the major difference that causes Elven magic to be more powerful than other races. Mages also use forces rather than manifestations, so their magic is more powerful than Clerical miracles.

The Elven holy symbol is a pyramid (square based).
