PRAISE G0NF! HE IS RISEN!! Join the server to create your own religion today! IP address- play.stoneworks.gg discord link- discord.com/invite/p2mwW9D5pK *Corrections -Sakrelism and Theiosism never really split. They did jumble around as different sects within the same religion, though. Thank you Ljukkti for pointing that out! -The sun deity that Afton killed was called Aul (which literally means sun in Noxism) and Auron is Aul's son, the second one is that Shinto and Baldemar were merged into Baldemar which became the bringer of dreams and god of the dream world, along with that, Aeder was brought in place of Shinto as the god of the waters and weather. Art re-credits: Twin Dragon- The Celestial Elf primordial and matron is by Dalatra The map of the Velande is made by Alfy' Lux- Map of Ummarnu by WhiskeyKnight I get conflicting information & people don't bother to update their religion's wiki pages lmao.
I have been thinking about joining the server and starting what amounts to a dwarven realm with its city's built of stone beneath the earth and maybe starting a religion for it based mostly on the savior king motif perhaps starting it by building his tomb would that be good sorry I have just watched all these stone works videos and had this in my head for a bit so I wanted to get it out somewhere
legit- I think this is why this server is so special. Most people never see their world building creations actually come to life and get involved in history, but here, you HAVE to.
As an outsider, it seems that the main mythic component of Rathniri faiths is of a Manichaean struggle between light and dark. That motif seems to keep appearing across many of its religions.
@ilove bigbrother I actually meant it as a compliment. Having recurring motifs in religion makes for strong worldbuilding. Just look at the Chaoskampf for an example.
@ilove bigbrother Have you read any religious documents at all? There's a reason these are classic motifs, and they're hardly infantile considering that this is basically how early religions viewed the world and expanded later is genuinely amazing/ Honestly, keeping the same general motifs for everything and letting the players decide their meaning is probably one of the greatest examples of how real world religions are interpreted and extrapolated by various cults over time. This is honestly amazing. Sociology and Theology majors couldn't have asked for a better real time experiment into how belief structures are formed and affect the people, mystical or not.
@@gaychampagnesocialist7213 bigbrother has veen bitching a lot in the comments. Id ignore them, I'd say its sone man-child who got punished by the admins for probably being a sh!t person eg racist, homophobe, troll or whatever arsehole-y thing people do these days on the webs.
its actually the case in rathnir, actual religious wars outside of rp are non-existent, since people who rp more are less likely to engage in meta geopolitics
@@sirius6738 True, but there is and has been a pretty intense rivalry between Sakrelism and Soleannen which has led to tensions before. I think a holy war between the two will be possible in the future.
Sadly my religion (Dandelist Soleannen) wasn't mentioned because I reached out to Stoney too late but I'm happy that there is finally a video on religion regardless Ave Solaris and may the dandelions guide you!
Just a correction in the Twin dragon portion of the video The proper credits for the artists: The Celestial Elf primordial and matron is by Dalatra The map of the Velande is made by Alfy The temple and almost most of the city was made by various amount of users throughout. Alfy, Cruncho, Granabam, Chaone, IbrisToss and Wizda aka Zen The various cities outside of Lhûmar are made by various others who are just amazing. I also just found all the res of the stuff online
Love this, hoping for more content on different cultures throughout Rathnir. Also...Praise Sakrelith! Almost wish TheLastSven could see how the faith has endured for so long, through so much. I feel he would be proud of the Sakrelists today.
I have this theory that the deities and the powers of the religion is made and powered by will of the people worshipping them, rather than the deities existing before their first followers would come to be. It's actually a really interesting subject that my character would love to write about once they become more exposed to various practices around the world.
Or a few gods existed from the very beginning but we see them differently - one can see supreme abstracts - which are light and dark, we all agree about that I guess - as a couple of lovers who possess an entire world as their creations or kids(and evil is only a misunderstanding by each other in this vast family), when one sees them as a pair of everwaring creatures(like Ahuramazda\Anhriman, or God\Devil conflicting sides)
Wrong, Gods are actually personification of forces of nature When you pray to the thunder god you pray to the thunder itself which is a force of nature
@@harshitrampal7785 Does a tree falling make a sound, if there is nothing around to perceive it? Does a deity exist, if there is no one around to worship it?
this server looks pretty cool, too bad i'd be absolutely terrible in it and I should not join for multiple reasons: 1: bad at roleplaying 2: bad at building 3: bad at approaching people 4: bad at staying on one server/game for a while 5: bad at remembering lore
I would have liked to learn more about the Void worshippers. What exactly were the structure of their beliefs? What symbols and artifacts did they have? Did they worship a void God, or just the Void itself? Are they still around? I hope this topic gets its own video (one not involving politics and turtles)
I really enjoy the stoneworks server it’s the first multiplayer server I’ve played on and have met some good people on here, although some of the staff go on power trips banning people for the most minor misdemeanours.
I was a old Garfist, we loved him. The name of the town? New Garfs Light. I made a bar there that I soon franchised. I made friends that I thought I would keep. Soon disaster struck, our town was stolen from us by a player. I remember waking up back in November to discord notifications of everyone panicking. Our glorious leader tried his best, we tried with staff and we start a new town. It eventually fell out. I eventually faded out of stormworks. Our leader became a wreck. he was saying he was having breakdowns. From what I know, that was one of the last Garfist towns. (idk i dont really play stormworks)
"As someone who is studying history and religion in college..."- Shows pile of otherwise expected scholarly books, but then the middle book is written by an Infowars conspiracy theorist. XD
From what little I've seen from your videos, my favorite deity is still Gruh, the dark God of a chunk error that a small cult worshiped. I can't remember which group conquered them, but I remember the pit was covered up... for now...
Stoneworks.... as a stoneworks player inspired by you to play on it i can say this video was very interesting and im exited for whats next to come, but i can also speak on behalf of the people without a queue bypass that NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE QUEUE WILL BE SO BIG NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Anyways nice vid! :DDDD
I love world building so much, as an aspiring Author and DND DM, it’s one of my favorite things. I really want to join the stoneworks server, I just don’t know how to get started.
i am such a fan of any world building project (and i even got one of my own !!) so this entire video had me squealing from happiness and excitement from how great the world building is !! it's all just so interesting to see something just grow !! awesome video !!
Reminds me of the game Space Engineers religion Clangers. It worshiped the gif of engineering Clang who exists through all creations and is a fickle god who gleefully destroys creations simply for its own amusement and will allow creations to survive incredible devastation and still function. If your ship or base falls apart or explodes it was the Will of Clang that it was destroyed and similarly if it survives what should have destroyed it then it was also the Will of Clang.
Loved the video @Stoneworks! This was such a great video, I even liked the Wacky bits near the end with Echaria (Hope I spelled that right) and the Artwork by Coffeeccubus and the other server members! Stoney: "God this is getting so wacky!" Me: "Hahahaha! My thoughts exactly!!"
Ik this video was published 5 months ago, but i want to talk about Sovdal. Like 3 months ago a player called The_Domus destroied the Temple: he wanted to create a new religion. I think that player have escaped from his own city (he was the mayor). I escaped from the city and went ti Skargness... I have never met again The_Domus P.S: Sorry for the bad english
I'll be honest i'm a newbie to minecraft. got scared of the zombies and creepers when I was about 5 and hadn't played for forever. Only recently did I buy the game. The idea that people can create things like this, huge maps with cities, nations, history, and even religion, is somewhat mindblowing. i'll be sure to join in at some point. Currently leaning towards following Lux because I'm especially interested in it's history and mythology, but i'll have to finish the video and ask around the server to be sure.
A religion I came up with: Machinaus Machinaus was founded by the Beshi-Dana Leyus. Leyus was attacked and lost in the wilderness, running out of food and water he prayed to every god he knew of, yet they did not answer. Lost in the wilderness he stumbled into a cave deep underground where he found a tree of iron, and red dust that thrummed with power. Under the Tree of Iron he need not Food or water, only the red dust to live. His body turned into machinery, and Deep in meditation under the Tree of Iron he awoke knowledge of the universe, there was no true god, only the machine. so he set out to build a true god. With Stolen Relics and Machinery the religion hopes to build a god. Many followers make a holy journey underground to the Tree of Iron to meditate and hope that they become Beshi-Dana those who’s flesh are as strong as metal, who need not food or water only the Red Dust. Their Religious Goal is to catalog all knowledge, as it is sacred, to build their god, and to take away the mysticism of the world and replace it with logic and understanding
i'd love to hear about any interrelationships between Noxism, Sakrelism, Soleanism, and the faith of Lux. what they recognise as common ground, what they regard as each other's heresies, any conflicts they've fought against each other. also, as a Muslim, Garfism is freakin hilarious :D
i'd just like to make sure though, that people know that we believe that the "conquest" of Makkah was literally entirely bloodless and involved no destruction or raiding of homes, businesses or farmland, that only pagan idols placed around the Kaaba were destroyed, and that all the people who had persecuted the first Muslims to the point they had to leave their homes were granted complete amnesty and that no revenge was exacted from them whatsoever.
There are a lot of unifying themes between the religions you described. Primarily themes of the Sun and the Moon, an eternal flame, and the concept of light itself being ensnared. As well as folks siding with either Light and Dark.
at 16:00 i translated it from latin, it means "to die in the moment". the full line is, momento mori segrae discupule. {momento mori} Latin for 'remember that you [have to] die') is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.
Hi stoney just saying the fact that wars happen every day on stone works (trust me I have had to fight in many) was just thinking that you should ‘make a volcano erupt’ so that some people (backtothehub) get restarted slightly to make the fights/wars better
Rasteria is starting its religion, were already doing crusades around our nation. (its in eldham, i think eldham is da best) hopefully Eldham will be in a stoneworks video some day
9:15 "they logged on, to find the eternal flame missing..." Yeah that's cool and all, but why exactly is that guy injecting bread into his veins... That can't be healthy...
this seems like a really fun server, i want to join and make a library of the stuff i find! an explorer with a dream of finding out all of the living spaces of this world
I feel like, but am not committed too joining just to form a religion in this game. The faith with no name, the faith and more so spirituality of the infinite God whom is all. With a major tenant being to expand as nomads as far and as wide as possible, describing the tenant of world generation and encircling the other religions like an ouroboros setting traps to defend the pastoral lands that are gifted as birthright to wander aimlessly, it would be as I would describe it a realization and schism of the abyss mystic understanding, that every block, every particle, entity, and form within the world of stoneworks would be that God. That all other Gods are but masks to its identity, as are the avatars of players… I subbed btw
Nvm I’d just join Soleannen as an abyss mystic, essentially syncretic of the two faiths to do what I had said. A group that would be pacifist, yet form a buffer for those who would expand into their lands.
Hi... I thought about converting to garfism. I didn't, but I thought about it. btw it wasn't just me who helped the garfists, DHVO, Ir1s, yaykei, Crezy, and Viewed were there when we helped Laythe! Its too bad most of them, except for Crezy are mostly inactive now. also #UnbanViewed
only thing i'm worried about is the fact that this video will lead to another player boom, thus increasing the queue times for us regulars. really nice vid tho ;).
within 4 days of playing on his servers i was banned for 3 days for "tp trapping" which basically means im trapping someone and not allowning them to leave by resetting there combat timer, where not only was that false the guy who was stuck was shooting me with his bow stopping himself from Teleporting, the admins are a joke and are very biased
Ye the admins are a joke a friend got wrongfully perma banned for x-raying. They asked him to show his logs and he did but they just kept saying he was lying. I love the server but I want to play with my friend and can't and it just pisses me off.
I’d love to see a video on like individuals who were important to the world or people who have become famous throughout the world for 1 reason or another
