====== The Principle of Lineage ====== The notion of the importance of lineage and bloodline, worshipped as a god. To follow the Principle of Lineage is to recognise the inherent significance of one person above another as determined by the quality of their blood. Unsurprisingly, such worship is therefore often a mandatory part of life in Faltur, and of the Principles it is Lineage that gets the most attention. Of course, there are plenty who do not approve of this particular Principle thanks to their personal circumstances, and so it is not uncommon to find a church full of people who largely would rather be somewhere else. ===== Thematic Elements ===== **Leading Element:** Hierarchy\\ **Lesser Element:** Subjugation\\ **Opposing Element:** Change ===== Tenets ===== * The bloodline is the lifeline of the soul. A better bloodline means a better soul. * Always act of a manner befitting of and appropriate to one's station. ===== Known Heresies/Schisms ===== * Only the nobility seriously worship this stuff, most of the congregation are just playing along. {{tag>god faltur principle_of_lineage}}
