Alconism
Many followers of the Alconist faith believe in full the teachings of Alphaesianism as true, but voice that those followers do not see the true prophet of Braeus Alconus as they should.
According to the Alconist faith, Braeus Alconus was born of God (or Alphus) in the form of a man, sent to teach the world and establish a New Order to prevent the commitment of the great sins that led to each of the Three Unmakings. Alconus was sent to be taught by a mentor named Moran, with whom he joined in the cultivation of fig trees to produce enough food to feed the Five Tribes of Southeast Canticula (in and around the region of present-day Prove).
One day, Alconus was called to lead an army to the North in order to defeat a band of nomadic insurgents believed to be corrupted by evil wysps created by Brox the Impure. Alconus led his army and succeeded in defeating the enemy. However, upon return to his homeland, discovered that Moran, his teacher, had rallied an army of his own and decimated the Five Tribes, conquering their land and seizing their resources.
Alconus felt betrayed that his own mentor would commit such great sins, and so sentenced Moran to death. Moran fled from his punishment, leading Braeus Alconus on a Great Pursuit across Canticula. Alconus followed him as he boarded a ship and went across the Circlarian Ocean. Knowing the treachery of those vast waters, Alconus built many ships and recruited a large number of people and went across the waters as well, losing a significant number of ships and people along the way.
Alconus arrived in Remikra, where he confronted Moran in front of the Great Rock of Providence. A battle ensued between the armies of Moran and Alconus as the two opposing leaders fought hand-to-hand. Alconus conjured an ultimate power given to him by Alphus and cast a large spell which broke the Great Rock; the falling debris killed Moran but Alconus as well.
Moran had immortalized his spirit. And when his body was destroyed, his spirit endured so that he could gather all the evil spirits around him into a vast Black Army. He then launched this Army upon the whole world in order to conquer it and all the seas.
Alconus was forgiven of his sins by Alphus and was then charged with to command a vast Holy Army of good spirits in order to challenge the Army of Moran.
Thus came about the Great War of Good and Evil, during which the entire world became a battlefield between the two forces. Such a battle is said to have occurred between the fourth day of the 22nd week of the year and the final day of the 24th week. Thus, Alconist followers celebrate this period of the year as the Days of the Hallows.
In the end Alconus overcame Moran, driving him and his forces into the confines of the Underworld, where Moran and his forces were forced to dwell imprisoned but not destroyed. Moran vowed that one day he and his forces would smash the Walls of the Underworld and make war upon the Worlds of Men and the Divine in order to defeat them and the three spirits of the One Unnamed God once and for all.
Alconus vowed that great toil must be done in order to prepare to confront this, and thus called upon his followers to gather and help others to gather all the things needed to build a thousand ships for Alconus and his Army to use to travel back to the Holy City of Edom. There Alconus would gather his followers and forces in preparation for the End to Come.
The Building of Ships is said to have occurred between the 25th week of the year and December 15th, a period which Alconist followers celebrate as Donmir, or the Season of Giving. December 15th, which happens to be the Winter Solstice, is also celebrated by Alconist followers as Stellacrux, based on the bright star said to have appeared on the eve before that day in the Constellation of the Cross. Stellacrux is said to be Braeus Alconus' birthday and is also the day that he and his Great Army set off in the Thousand Ships bound for the Holy City of Edom.
Alconist followers have prophesied numerous dates throughout the past, all falsely, as each the day of the beginning of the Final War of Good and Evil. Numerous denominations within the Alconist faith, the most popular faith in Circlaria, have criticized each other over supposed belief nuances especially over this matter. However, all Alconist Churches believe that a certain moment of reckoning, a Fourth Unmaking, will one day happen; and that those who follow Alconus will be saved from such an Unmaking.
