Humanitarianism

Humanitarianism is a religion that promotes the value of human life and practitioners of it are expected to put aside their own welfare for the sake of others. Since the roots of it go back centuries and many Humanitarians travel from country to country to apply it, both Normans and Magus uphold it.

Universal Ideology
Humanitarianism is a way of life that has shaped both Norman and Magus society. While Normans tend to shy away from the more strict rituals and rules of the religion, the core value; promotion of humanity's well-being at large, is not lost on them. Normans are constantly striving to re-shape their civilization into something better. Magus on the other hand, place more importance on the morality of Humanitarianism and true dedication to the rules of the religion must be measured from individual to individual. City states such as Sanctus and Pacis place a high value on Humanitarianism with Sanctus being the religious capital of East Concordia and Pacis being the most peaceful and all inclusive municipality known to Magus.

Practices
Humanitarianism combines elements of both Christianity and Shintoism. The core morals and teachings from old scriptures consist of but are not limited to; "Accept and help all fellow humans. Even those who do not follow in your faith", "Violence is only to be used in defense, not offense.", "Be prepared to sacrifice the small to save the substantial". Spirit magic is directly affected by Humanitarianism since (as the name suggests) only someone who is highly spiritual can use the mysterious magic. The only known Magus who specialize in spirit magic are those who have a natural and deep inclination towards the well being of others. Chryssy had this very propensity even before she became a Humanitarian when she expressed sympathy towards animals despite being raised in a society that directly pressured her to harm them. The religion is shown to strengthen one's spiritual power but it is not a requirement in order to specialize in this particular magic type.
