Tanets Solntsa

Tanets Solnsta is a sect of Orthodox Christianity, believed by many to be heretical, which combines the traditional mythologies of Osorrai folk faiths, with. Tanets Solnsta believes that the Absolute God, the Viracocha, created reflections of himself in the Sapa and Inti. They formed a great unity, and would create the pure forms and finite beings that made up the cosmos as a whole. A vast fire later arose that saw the grand garden of Inti destroyed, man sent into the abyss. Humanity, through shared art and language, was all that was left with any connection to the Viracocha. Humanity as a finite version of the absolute could grasp the unity that pervaded the cosmos and it is our responsibility to achieve His restoration through the creation of the Absolute Reality. Tanets Solnsta believes this is achieved on the day when man learns to revive all the dead. In order to achieve this lofty goal man must constantly advance himself and his civilization, in a pursuit to learn about the unity of the cosmic order.

The faith recognizes both traditional Yarovar and traditional Osorrai holidays, both of which have equal importance. Tanets Solnsta is known for not outright rejecting polytheism, but believing that traditional Osorrai deities are forces of the Absolute. The faith has a rich tradition of poetry, architecture, literature, and music. It has a rich tradition of mysticism and many new age movements are inspired by the faith.

Tanets Solntsa faith was created by the Saint Kapralov Artemiy Timurovich during his travels to Osorra. Noting the vast potentials technology brought forth, he created a "modernized" version of traditional Osorrai faith which aimed to achieve utopia, immortality, and the end of human suffering. To develop this new faith he partnered with many technologists and physicists who had become enamored with new technological developments, while at the same time learning about how Osorrai mythology had parallels with the various thermodynamic theories of the era. He wrote The Cosmic Will, a text which summarized his religious and philosophical beliefs in 1875 which quickly became a best-seller all over Anterra. At the same time, the Qoya of Osorra was hardpressed by his Yarovan ministers to begin converting his people to Christanity. Seeing the opportunity of a syncertic faith that would combine existing Osorrai mythologies and Yarovar faith he made Timurovich's faith state religion. Missionaries came from all over to spread the faith and thousands of Sun Churches were built in a short period of time. Tanets Solntsa ideas were important in the coming Osorrai revolution and other nationalist movements across Vojiskiy. For example early Communist utopianism was inspired by the faith, who saw its optimism and progressivism as complementary with Communist principles. The religion would see a second great awakening during the 20s-30s officially supported by the Communist government. Tanets Solntsa would inspire the spearheading of literacy programs, mass industrialization, and the building of many railroads.

In the 60s however the state stopped supporting it, and would begin suppressing heterodox Tanets Solntsa clergy. The faith would decline till the nuclear and space program of the 70s saw its revival only to sputter out again with Osorra's loss in the Osorra-Tilenno War. The faith today is followed by over 90% of Osorrais with large populations in Yarova, Baileneu Ma, and so on. It inspired many radical political projects in the 20th century, especially the nascent movement. Many new age schools in places such as Brigantica took inspiration from the faith, capitalizing on it's relentless drive towards the future and synthesis of the new and old.
