Craitism
Craitism is a Micrasian religion that teaches that there is only one god, the Craitgod, and Umar ibn Al-Farooq is his messenger.
History
After the fall of the High Realm of Stormark on Micras and the Franco-Batavian Empire a religious vacuum arose, because many survivors were left behind in defeat. Couldn't their god have prevented this? The Holy Catologian Church tried by a message on morality to get a foothold in the new Francia, now the Emirate of Arbor. There was the threat of a large-scale secularization, which alarmed the brand new state. The balance of powers, which the Holy Catologian Church took care of in the field of spirituality, was in danger of being disrupted.
A radical change came when Umar ibn Al-Farooq claimed to have received a revelation. He proclaimed that the Craitgod is the only and true god. Soon Umar gained a large following and a new religion arose, the Craitism.
Historic parallels
In 1596, the Ecclestial Academy of Pentapolis, located in South Batavia, published Craitmans Prayer, analogous to the Lord's Prayer. This laid the basis for a South Batavian, and later panmicran custom to refer to Craitman as Craitgod. The Calbain Catologian Church recognises the god Craitmyn as one of the seven personalities of Cato. This custom dates back from the arrival of Jack de Montfort, who took the adoration of Craitman from rituals prevalent in rural South Batavian Catologism. In the Stripping Path, Craitgod is counted among The Other Hosts.
