Consensus

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. The symbol of the Consensus is ten interlocking rings, representing the ten Angels, though for this reason the symbol is often rejected by members of the Seraphic Order, opting instead for a symbol with nine rings.
