Cult of Dawn

"After the Dusk, there is always a new day."

The Cult of Dawn is an organization whose matron deities are that of both Misery and Katria, both of whom are regarded as either insufferable or indifferent. Though these two are the main deities of the religion, there are few below them that also take part in the Cult's often hedonistic rituals. Though this religion is supposedly underground, it has been widely regarded are a horrid creation by few who actually try to destroy the religious fanaticism that the group plays on in Thyria and other planets.

History
During the Removal Period of Thyria, the Cult was formed as a way for the inhabitants of Thyria to praise those that they felt worthy to be exalted in their eyes. Ultimately, their influence in the beginning was weak and didn't hold up quite well, as they were attempting to keep themselves in mystery until their numbers had grown more wide.

It wasn't until the Purging Period of Thyria that The Dusk Commentaries came out into the open, it was also the decided moment that the religion had finally grown enough members to be able to go public without fear of being totally annihilated by the other religions of Thyria. The dangers this period brought about were wide in religious persecution and condemned death for a discovered worshipper, though it was too late as the The Dusk Commentaries had become a wide sale. Most books found were burnt or destroyed in any way possible.

The Critical Period brought forth the Cult of Dawn out into the open even further by Misery herself, when she had help from a witch named Kerava, who destroyed the Thyrian barrier blocking those from leaving the planet and those from entering the planet. Thus allowing the cult to travel to more planets and spread their influence more widely.

Beliefs
The Cult of Dawn sees to it that a worshipper is either 'in tune' with either with Misery or Katria. If one is about causing the emotional suffering of others, they are in the section of the Weaver of Sorrows, and see the Red Book as a testament to the greatest achievement they could make. In any way, even without the Red book itself, those that prefer Misery will tend to aim for the ultimate blessing: Ascension to a Pawn of Misery.

As for more belief in Katria, indifferent and uncaring is key to be enlightened. It matters not how one exists, acts, or does; as long as the individual is indifferent and remains that way, they are on the same level as their Goddess. The ultimate blessing of Katria would be ascension to Paradise before death. Sadly, this has yet to ever occur, as the Goddess herself is just as, if not more uncaring than her followers.

The Red Book and the Book of Dusk are considered the religious texts, and enlightenment supposedly can be attained through long understanding and true hardship in trying to read the texts, if they are in ones hands. However, this appears to be impossible, as very few even know if there is a way to gain either of the texts.

It is believed by many through the teachings of the Book of Dusk that if Misery and Katria were to meet, their power combined could summon forth the patron deity Xaerxez.

(Much more to be added in time, many gods, many beliefs, Misery and Katria are just the 'head' gods)

Practices
Simple practices and rituals take place within this religious sect. Namely, a normal for a Misery Woshipper of the Cult of Dawn is going to try to make someone's life miserable. It's normal to find them trying to manipulate the emotions and lives of others. While in the view of Katria, being indifferent and uncaring to someone in need or help or assistance is considered great and amazing; even is assistance is given in the end, the thought that either one is trying to invoke emotionally pain or show pure indifference within is a way to push forth the though of enlightenment.
