The Bascian Blasphemy is a cult within the Faith of Nesreyrar that follows a darker interpretation of the faith. It exists in pockets within the Empire of Vericum and has about 53,000 believers. The only town within its domain is Phlius.

Gods

The Blasphemy believes that The Six are not, in fact, good gods. Just like The Ten, they have evil in mind and humans are but a piece of their plan, which is why they occasionally do good upon mortals. They have won a heavenly war against The Ten, and thus re-written history to make themselves appear as the good gods. The Ten are not divided because of weakness of character, but because they were scattered after their defeat.

According to the teachings of the Blasphemy, only three gods can be counted as allies of man:

  • Qomis is a trickster god who has no set agenda. While he is not a friend of man, he is also not an enemy. When his goals align with the goals of humans, he can be an ally.
  • Ecmera, unlike her interpretation in the Faith of Nesreyrar, is a goddess of contemplation and wisdom. Her wisdom is just so remote from human experience and so advanced that the mortal mind cannot comprehend it, resulting in confusion. If her lore could be understood, it could open the way for humans to raise themselves above their lowly standard in the hierarchy of beings. Studying the lore of Ecmera is a central aspect of the Bascian Blasphemy.
  • Aditos, like in the official view, is a god of honor and mercy, the only one who feels anything for humankind.


The worship of Qomis and Ecmera is, unsurprisingly, the reason the Bascian Blasphemy is outlawed in Vericum and its followers prosecuted.
