The Consensus is a religion centered around the worship of the Angels and the belief that they were created by Ár to create humans and the world. It is by far the largest religion in the world, being the majority religion across most nations of Mineia, with the notable exception of Paranaja.
Terminology
The name "Consensus" refers to both the magical order based around the ten non-seraphic Angels and the religion as a whole. The Seraphic Order, who instead worships the nine Seraphs, follows the beliefs of the religion, but not those of the magical order of the same name. The same is true of most Adjudicators and Chosen of Laksha.
History
Beliefs
The Consensus accepts the story of the world's creation as supposedly told to the Órun by the Angels. The Angels are said to have descended upon the mortal world and told the Órun their history, from the creation of the world by Ár to the Angelic Wars, Age of Fire and the story of the Lightbearer. Variations of this creation myth are found independently in other religions around the world and the Consensus accepts this version as fact.
Liturgy
Early Consensus practices were passed down through oral tradition. The Angelic Epic, the history of the world written by the Órun, is considered by the Consensus to be an important historical and cultural work, but does not write down any religious practices or tenets. The first and most important sacred Consensus text is the Khison Leioamē, written around the 19th century AT, more than 1,500 years after the Angelic Epic.
