🕊️ Education, not conversion
Faiths, Deities & Sacred Traditions
A respectful, educational introduction to living faiths and their sacred figures — distinct from Lightkeepers' fictional guardians and folklore. Monotheistic traditions worship one God; polytheistic traditions honour many deities; other paths are non-theistic. We do not imply that all religions worship multiple gods, and we never rank traditions against each other.
Sacred figures and living traditions are distinct from Lightkeepers' fictional guardians (Amaru, Luminpaca, the maned wolf and friends) and from folklore entries. Sacred figures are never used as mascots or personality labels.
