Theopolians

Theopolians are a fictional religious group featured in the "Children of the Sky" novel series by author A.J. Demas. Within the narrative, they are a prominent and influential sect that worships a singular, all-powerful deity known as the Great Weaver. Their core tenets revolve around the belief that all existence is interconnected and woven together by this divine entity, and that individual lives are threads within a grand cosmic tapestry.

Theopolian society is often depicted as highly structured and hierarchical, with a strong emphasis on tradition, prayer, and adherence to divine law as interpreted by their religious leaders, the Weavers of Truth. They believe in a life after death, where souls are reabsorbed into the Great Weaver's tapestry, and strive to live lives that contribute positively to the cosmic design. Their practices often involve intricate rituals, chanting, and the creation of symbolic artwork that reflects their understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. Theopolian influence extends to many aspects of the fictional world's politics and culture, making them a significant force in the ongoing conflicts and alliances within the series. Their interactions with other factions are often characterized by a blend of proselytizing zeal and a perceived sense of divine mandate.
