The Imperial Religion was a syncretic faith which bound the disparate cultures of the empire together. Most cities and tribes had a native mother goddess, who was worshipped using local names and with a wide range of rituals and traditions. The Imperial Religion declared them all to be facets of a single, all-powerful and all-loving deity, thereby binding all faiths together into a single whole. Even many male gods were said to be ultimately aspects of the mother deity.

The Imperial maternal godhead was known by many names. Often she was simply called the Great Mother, though to later Imperial Ensanni she was called Asheraplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAshera

Geology

Helevos is approximately 3.8 billion years old, and differs from the planet Earth geologically in a number of ways. Magnetism

Like Earth, Helevos was subject to massive bombardment by planetary-sized objects during its hot early life, but accrued a much larger amount of iron and heavier metals than Earth. Helevos is smaller than Earth, but relatively much denser.

During the world's early molten stage, the majority of iron and heavy metals settled into the core, leaving Helevos with a gravity field slightly weaker than Earth's but with a much stronger magnetic field. This intense field protects the planet from intension solar activity, and encouraged the evolution of life. Continental Formation

Helevos originally had a high velocity spin, and was given a slight oscillation or 'wobble' by constant impacts. Earth suffered a major planetary impact with a Mars-sized object early in its history, which ejected a vast amount of light crust material that condensed to form the moon. The moon stabilised Earth's 'wobble', and slowed its rotation.

It also left a large amount of continental crustal material on one hemisphere - Pangea, Earth's first massive continent. With continental drift, this massive prehistoric landmass slowly broke apart to form Earth's modern continents, that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Helevos never suffered this kind of impact. Instead, the planet's rotation forced gases deep within the crust upwards and outwards towards the equator. This lifted the crust, creating a rough spread of rocky continents around the equatorial zones, with smaller continents at the poles. Plate Tectonics

Helevos has a continental plates much like earth, but does not have the deep abyssal seas with massive rifts which drive continental drift on on Earth. Consequently continental drift is much slower, although there are many volcanoes and earthquake zones. Life

Life developed early, in the warm shallow seas much like on Earth. Plants colonised the land first, and land-based life developed on the millions of islands, particularly in the rich marginal tide zones.

Helevos has had a shorter evolutionary history than earth, and rather than suffering mass-extinctions based on cosmic impacts, it has suffered extinctions based on storms and floods affecting the land. Sea-life has remained relatively unchanged, with a cold-blooded fish and amphibians being dominant.

On land, inundation-events have made evolution favour amphibious forms of life, and all the higher native species are descended from common amphibious ancestors, although many have lost their water-breathing abilities.

Boreal Sea

The Boreal Sea is the relatively shallow portion area of the Polassirn Oceanplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigPolassirn Ocean

The Polassirn Ocean is the most northerly of the four oceans surrounding the Civilised World. The ocean is deep and cold, with occasional sea ice on the far northern shores.

It is rich with virid sea life. The shallow waters around the Natorn Archipelago are full of green fish and pelagic flora, as well as north and east of the Anrel Islesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAnrel Isles
