Sassyari polytheism

Sassyari polytheism was a religion practised by the ancient Sassyari. The peasants worshipped kings and queens as gods and goddesses in their own right. This practice ended with the death of Theophylactus of Sassyar at the hands of Alexander, after which a council of Sassyari nobles elected Mero, Prince of Meria as their king, and Hynethism became the predominant religion in Sassyar (the worship of Hynethe, exclusively).

Each king or queen represented specific virtues, such as:
 * Cares: wealth;
 * Vaneria: education;
 * Theophylactus: war, greed, strength;
 * Hynethe: justice, peace, resilience.
