Lonàkae

Lonàkae (Tilennan:, : ), is a philosophic religion with an estimated 70 million practitioners worldwide, known as Lònakeans. It is mainly practiced in the modern nation of Tilenno and various islands in the East Tethys, with large groups located in Arroyo-Abeille and Osorra near their borders with Tilenno. It is also found as a minority religion in various nations across Anterra.

The foundations of Lonàkae are believed to have been laid by Taumàsae of Umia, a Terukian philiospher who lived somewhere around 1600 BCE. However most practices trace their origin back to the revival in the 4th century BCE. It started out as a philosophic theory that coexisted with the Ancient Tilennan Pantheon, but later on became so popular that it replaced the pantheon altogether. Lonàkae has also drastically evolved over the ages, taking influences from Tilennan Astrology, East-Keshi religions and even some influences.

At its core Lonàkae relates everything back to the concept of ua, translated as balance. It is believed that everything exists between two extremes, which manifested themselves in kae, the sun, and lona, the ocean. Eventually the two extremes will become one and a state of eternal balance will be created. The goal of Lonàkae is therefore to live a balanced life as to reach this end state. How to reach this end state is explained in various tenets and rituals.
