NOS

The Imperials worship a single god called either NOS, the Three-Faced God, or The Aspected One. Each face of the god has a distinct name and purpose. Ney, the hidden face – represents summer, mystery and beauty. Olt is the owl face – the predator, representing middle seasons, change, knowledge and wisdom. And Sim is the skull face, representing winter and death.

Imperials believe that the influence of these aspects rises and falls. These changes can affect both the world as a whole and their lives as individuals. NOSians believe that balance between the three aspects is essential to the stability of the world. They believe that if they achieve balance of these three aspects in their own lives it will result in personal happiness and enlightenment. Likewise, balance between the aspects on a societal level leads to prosperity and growth.

There is no room in Imperial theology for other gods. Anything claiming to be another god is interpreted either as a heretic, a fake, or as an aspect of NOS. Anyone claiming to worship another god is dismissed as being a heathen.
