Monotheism

Monotheism is the belief in or practice of following a single deity as opposed to a group or collection of deities. Monotheism is a very alien concept to the people of The Helm as polytheistic pantheons have been followed for eras. Due to the prominent role of the many polytheistic religions of The Helm, monotheistic beliefs are often persecuted throughout the many kingdoms. Despite the efforts of many, monotheism still prevails in certain regions, especially the New Southwest, Akharia, and certain parts of Romeria. Many religions in the Romasti Kingdoms appear to be monotheistic at first glance but are usually polytheistic systems with one main deity.

The New Southwest

With the introduction of the Andosian religion to the Ypari people by the Romerians, monotheism began to play an important role in the lives of many Ypari. One such Ypari was the famous Ermond Norton who later in life led his closest followers of his sect of Andosism to the New Southwest of Maneria. As Norton's disciples spread throughout southern Maneria, their monotheistic religion began to take roots all across the continent's deserts.
