The prevailing religious belief in the Resolute Kingdoms is the Writ of Ahm, the belief that the State Ecclesiarchy of Resotania is founded on, and that it brought with it as it expanded. The doctrine has existed as long as anyone can remember, but in its current form and thought it is over 1,300 years old. It is thanks to this widespread religion that the Resolute Kingdoms remain as coherent (or self-absorbed) as they are, and were any of the Resolutes to try and remove the Priests and Churches of the Ahmic Doctrine, the majority of the common folk would see it is a step too far, and likely rebel.

The key statements of Ahmic Doctrinism are simple to grasp and extremely widely understood. In the theological debate as to whether Ahm left or remains watching over Kona, Ahmic Doctrine is firm in saying that the Creator has never left, with the Full Moon being a sign that the deity’s eye is turned towards Leurut in particular. Ahm is more powerful than any other deity - nor are they limited by any power, unlike the Obsidian Pantheon locked behind the Divinity Cascade. Thanks to this power, Ahm is a god who can be petitioned for aid like any other and will reliable produce results both magical and mundane. For the common folk, Ahm is considered too high a power to come to for simple requests when another god will do, but for larger-scale issues and prayer Ahm always keeps an ear open. Specified Holy People, such as members of the Ecclesiarchy, the Whiteshields, and many Kings approved of by Resotania, may call on Ahm for any issue they see fit in their own wisdom, itself a gift from Ahm.

Orthodoxy and guidance on morality is also relatively simple and yet treated as life-directing by peasant and noble alike. The Nine Hells, Elemental Torment or the Plane of Death await mortal souls at the end of their lives - although Erebos is the ruler of the Paradise of Kfen, it is only through Ahm’s power and grace that a soul can be sent there. To earn passage to this heaven, a life must be “Cuviti Vituri” - lived well. Crimes that affect others before their potential can be fulfilled, such as murder, theft, and fraud, and other sometimes-legal trespasses such as breaking a vow or oath, are viewed dimly by Ahm. Many Priests or Bishops are willing to forgive crimes done for good or understandable reasons, as long as their consequences are beared - however, although Ahm is all understanding, they are certainly not all forgiving, and a carefree soul can easily damn themselves if warnings are ignored. The laws of most Resolutes are based on these tenets - follow the law of the land, and you will be safe in the eyes of the Ecclesiarchy. Moral guidance (as well as administrative leadership) can easily be handled by the numerous Voices of the Churches scattered around Leurut, or the Priests who run them.

The official scripture (named ‘The Writ’) is collected in three books: The Book of the Dragon, musings on the gods and their ordering of Kona and it’s people; The Book of the Petal, aesops of how following Ahm’s scripture and guidance helped Humans pull themselves out of the wreckage of their kingdom and found Resotania and the Empire; and the forbidden and locked-away Book of the War, describing in detail various apocalypses which could ravage the surface of Leurut, with the contents known only to the highest-ranking holy members and Mantleguard in Resotania itself. Every Church has a copy of the Book of the Dragon and the Book of the Petal, with certain Priests having both committed to memory, and many across the realm can quickly reel off quotes and lessons from these apocrypha. If Whiteshields, nobles, or even commoners wish to have a copy for themselves, the Book of the Petal is seen as the more vital to have on hand.

The Doctrine shapes all aspects of life, from the peasantry to the nobility and royalty. Priests administer local festivals, handle disputes and act as judges, while vows sworn between anyone are treated as unbreakable, with damnation as the reward for treating them lightly. Having a member of a community chosen as a Whiteshield is a great honour, and most are more than happy to provide their best equipment to the youth selected. The decrees of bishops and the recommendations of priests and voices are taken very seriously indeed. That being said, the beliefs near-ubiquitousness has been threatened over the last century by the rise of the Light - it is hard to guess exact levels of support thanks to the ability to be secretive in their faith, but the fear that a whole kingdom and its entire population could secede from the Ecclesiarchal structure looks less and less irrational by the day.

Note: the Ecclesiarchy, its buildings and its structure is clearly based off of Medieval Catholicism, but there are significant divergences. Ahm is neither Omnipotent, Omniscient, nor Omnibenevolent - they are merely significantly stronger in these qualities than any other deity, and Mortals are easily included within Ahm’s benevolent range. Ahm is frequently referred to without a gender, although the use of pronouns is not an infraction either. The Doctrine does not deny the existence of other gods - in fact, they are highly trusted members of Ahm’s inner circle, and are expected to be revered as such. Importantly, there is no institutionalised bigotry of any kind (such as racism, sexism, homophobia, or others), beyond a significant focus on Humans as a species - they are simply not relevant to what the Writ has to say about how best to live, and many horrendous acts committed in the name of such beliefs would certainly contravene other guidance contained within the scripture. While the Writ does tend to place Humans above other Species, it does not do so significantly more than other Species also consider themselves superior.
