Ani

Ani (who's name is taken by the imperial word for deity) is the only know god worshipped in Remnant. Believed to be the moon Ani is said to have been killed by The Fall when the moon was shattered and lunar dust fell to Terria.

Religion

Ani is worshipped by most of the religions of Marathon and the various theories of why the fall happened, what Ani's relation to the fall is, and the Grimm is the subject of most religions in Marathon.

Anicism believes that the fall of the Empire was the result of a massive war between Ani and the Empire, and that the Grimm are Ani’s creatures. As a result, the Empire was destroyed, and the Ani was killed. This discouraged its followers from reusing Imperial tech – part of why the faith came into being was out of fear of repeating the past, whatever it was. It also discouraged the killing of the Grimm, as they are Ani's children. The Anicism religion was built around the mourning of Ani's death with masses acting more like funerary processions.

Avanism was created as an affront to Anicism and posits that the war was not between Ani and the Empire, but rather Ani and Grimm. This not only allows and tacitly encourages the killing of Grimm and use of Imperial technology, but is one of the largest religions of Marathon.

The Cult of Salem shares somewhat similar beliefs to Anicism but takes on a much more negative connotation, believing that the Brothers of Grimm are the new gods after the death of Ani and believe that humanity must be destroyed to make way for the new master race, the Grimm.
