I have a question. SA is based on Catholicism, correct?

Has there been any upstart rival Bloodstar religion that set itself as a protest against the church? I'm just asking if it's been attempted.

Not purposely so, I don't think. More so just because RPing a massive religion in an SMA world just lends itself to acting in the Western Christian tradition almost unintentionally.

We tried to avoid it as much as possible, but as a SMA religion with universalist ambition, the parallels are evident.

There was Orthodox Astroism which folded a few months ago, and a few underground attempts that never translated into actual religions.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

There was Orthodox Astroism and then Creed Avon was talking about Blackstar or something but it never actualized. My own religion Cult of Bloodmoon came from Astroism to a small degree , it being one religion where some members of SA had eaten the fruit while it was still just an idea. There might have been more ideas or religions but I can't think of any. Originally the Bloodmoon fruit was supposed to be influenced by the Bloodstars (still is) and without the bloodstars the fruit would not have its unique properties. It was basically the idea that the stars influence man but also influence nature and that it was the Cult that discovered a plant that was as unique as man, binding us together under the stars.
We do not worship the stars but consider them integral to the wellbeing of the plant, like the sun.
We live lives in beautiful lies...

Triunism has always seen itself as a variant of Sanguis Astroism.

Hireshmont actually just explained a prophesy to someone as being a prophecy about a "second church."

He's got to do something after no longer being ruler.  Of course others.... may not be happy with your interpretation.

Sounds interesting, I bet King Arrakis would be interested, you just have to bring the guild to Niselur.  So would I... Unfortunately everyone is drunk, and song called 'The Monster ate the fair southren lady' is playing, and some monsters snuck up on the party and we are about to conduct a somewhat drunken charge on them.

•Niselur is totally not a nation that likes to drink.

Actually, no. Working hard not to.
