God

The only monotheistic religion in Auseka, Ebronists worship Scho Tu, The Creator. This divine being (without gender, but generally referred to as "he" in the common tongue) has brought the world into existence in order to please himself. Thus the greatest duty of all living things is to please Scho Tu. The best way to do so is to follow the divine guidance of his priests, who alone are granted a small glimpse of his will. Since no human could hope to glance the entire mind of The Creator, even his priests may not see the whole truth at once and may receive guidance in fragments, even seemingly conflicting. But in the end, it is not for mortals to grasp the will of Scho Tu, and all will be as it should be.

Scho Tu can appear in any form that he wishes to. Most depictions show him as a wise old man by face and a strong healthy man in his best age by body. While the legends include many tales of Scho Tu appearing in female form, the priests of Ebronism have outlawed and destroyed any such depictions since the Convent of Onister in 156 BV.

Prophets

Ebronism recognizes three prophets, each of whom began a new age in the Ebronist calendar.

Fowke Sarria was the first prophet. The year he received the first revelations is the first year of the first age of the Ebronist calendar . He was allowed to understand the nature of the world and the presence of Scho Tu. Unfortunately, many of his original insights were lost, or found to be forgeries and ordered destroyed at the Convent of Ebron , before the faithful were driven out of their lands.

Nod Ambrogi was the second prophet. When Ebronism and its followers was driven out of the Ebron area in the 3rd century BV, a new prophet arose to lead its people east and unveil The Creators intentions. Much of todays scriptures dates from that time. Nod was also the one to lay down the initial set of rules for the priesthood of Ebronism.

Almer Pascke was the third and so far last prophet. He lived from 206 BV to 154 BV and added many of the deeper mysteries and much of the social structures of Ebronism. His death prompted the Convent of Onister, which sorted and structured his many teachings, resulting in some considerable changes to the daily practices of the religion.
