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

Ashera is the ancient Gaal mother goddess, who under the Empire of Dor-en-Sann became chief of the many faces of the Mother of All Aspects.

Early green plants and animals first inhabited the coastal margins, then humanity developed from primitive animal life over hundreds of millennia. Virid life evolved much later, in the warm pools of the inland sea which is now the Mangasorplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMangasor

Mangasor, [mang-GAS-orr, maŋga'sɔ̝ːɾ)] (arch. Mangasuor) also called the Mangasor Desert, is a Special Autonomous Region in central Ororr. It is a mainly arid region with no permanent surface water, a landscape of rocky plains, dusty dunes and dry lake beds. At the heart of the desert is the holy site of
desert. Virid life came to dominate the highlands, while the green kingdom encompassed the lowlands and coasts.

With rising sea levels over the span of recorded human history, the original green lands of humankind were gradually drowned, forcing humanity inland. Humans burned the inland virid jungles allowing green arable land and woodland, though the biodiversity was much reduced.

Supporters cite several things in evidence. The blood of mammals is much more saline than virid creatures, and the coastal margins are rich with seagreensplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigSeagreens

Also the green kingdom, while obviously more evolutionarily advanced than the virid, shows a much lower biodiversity, indicating it came from a much larger original ecology. Opponents point out that the salinity of the seas fluctuates over time, that virid creatures dominate the deeper seas, and that the teleologically advanced state of mankind and the usefulness of associated species is evidence of deliberate creation, not evolution.
