Rationalist (Livanan: Cultus Rationem) is an ancient monotheistic religion practised predominately in Livana and Eria. Rationalists believe that the world was created through order and harmony established by the one true God, and that it is the duty of humanity to maintain this stability, protecting the weak and vulnerable, and helping the sick and the elderly. To fulfill this duty, God sent out his herald to certain inspired and special men, that would later contributes to the holy scripture, the Liber Sanctorum (Book of Saints) which instructs followers of the faith on religious matter; the very first of these men were St. Aloysius. The Church of Saints, established by the Archpriest of Hiron in the 9th century in Livonia after the sacking of Hiron, administrates the activities as well as the hierarchy of the faith, maintaining a centralised control over theology and religious practices of all followers. This lasted until the 17th century, when Eria broke away from the Kingdom of Arcana, and established their own Archpriest seat in Veneto. Since then there are two leadership within the Church, but no apparent divergences in religious doctrines.
Since it's conception, Rationalism emphasizes heavily on the tenets of forgiveness and the practice of charity, intending to redistribute wealth and to help the poor and the elderly. To this end, the Church established free schools, hospitals, soup kitchens and nursing homes, with help from government funds as well as the alimony given by the followers. The Church also run the vast majority of orphanages in Livana and Eria, as well as 221 convents, where the most devout of the followers can swore an oath of celibacy and live as monks. The Church held communion every Sunday afternoon, where liturgical lectures are given, and attendants are expected to give alms. Major communion is held during the Day of Saints a national holiday in Livana and Eria celebrating the coming of St. Aloysius and his struggles, celebrated annually in the 25th of December.
