信仰

每个角色都遵循一种信仰。信仰是宗教的个别宗派，指导其信徒应当以何种方式生活。

热情

Fervor is a measure of how righteous adherents believe that a Faith is and ranges from 0% to 100%. Fervor determines how expensive it is for Rulers to create new Faiths and how likely counties and characters are to convert.

Fervor increases at a rate of +0.3 each month, modified by the Virtues and Sins of religious leaders, particularly the Head of Faith. Fervor grows more slowly for Faiths followed in more than 20 Counties. New faiths start at 100% Fervor while historical ones start at 50%.

改信

Each character can convert to a different Faith at any point. Conversion costs Piety based on the difference between the Doctrines of the new Faith and the Doctrines of the old one. The cost can also be affected by the following:

• -25% if converting to an existing Faith
• -50% if converting to the faith of a spouse
• -150% if the new Faith exists in the Realm or a neighboring Realm
• +100% if the new Faith belongs to a different Religion within the same Religious Family
• +200% if the new Faith belongs to a different Religious Family
• +500% if the new Faith is not present in any County in the world
• +500% if the new Faith is Unreformed while the old Faith is Organized

新的信仰

A ruler can create a new Faith for a religion once per lifetime by spending a very large amount of Piety. The farther the new faith's Tenets will be from the character's original faith the more Piety it will cost to change it. Once a new Faith is created the ruler, its close family and its realm capital will instantly convert. Vassals may convert depending on their  Opinion and difference in  Learning. New Faiths inherit the Holy Sites of the original Faith.

A ruler who is a Vassal cannot create a new Faith unless its Primary Title rank is at least Duke.

A new Faith cannot have both its Tenets and Doctrines entirely identical to those of an existing Faith.

改革

Faiths that are Unreformed can be Reformed by a ruler who controls at least 3 holy sites by spending a large amount of Piety. Upon Reformation the new Faith will keep the name of the old Faith while the old Faith will be renamed.

When reforming their Faith AI rulers will never change Tenets or Doctrines except possible for those regarding the Head of Faith.

Zoroastrianism

Zoroastrianism can only be selected as a starting religion in 867. While it still exists in 1066 there aren't any Landed characters that practice it. It is the only Eastern Religion that treats other Faiths within the Religion as Heresies aka Hostile and other Religions as Evil.

Christianity

Christian faiths have the special doctrine Teachings of Jesus. Some of them also have the Ecumenism main doctrine, which makes faiths with the same doctrine treat each other as Astray instead of Hostile.

Faith	Description
Catholicism	The Roman Catholic Church claims that Jesus bestowed the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven upon St. Peter and that, as his rightful successor, the Pope is therefore the supreme spiritual authority of the entire Christian world.
Orthodoxy	Maintaining that its bishops are the true and direct successors of Christ's apostles, the Eastern Orthodox Church claims to be the original Christian faith as passed down through sacred liturgical tradition.
Coptic	Tracing its origins to Saint Mark the Evangelist, the Coptic Church is famous for both being the birthplace of Christian monasticism as well as maintaining a long tradition of the promotion of education and philosophy.
Apostolic	Founded by the Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus, the Armenian Apostolic Church rapidly gained followers in the region and shepherded the Kingdom of Armenia into becoming the first state ever to adopt Christianity as its official religion.
Insular Christianity	A rural church that drifted away from Roman Catholic orthodoxy some centuries ago, Insular Christianity has lost many of its once-distinctive features at the insistence of its mother-church. It yet retains a greater emphasis on penance and monasticism, and incorporates many traditional Celtic marriage customs foreign to wider Christendom.
Krstjani	Long forgotten by Catholic and Orthodox alike, the Krstjani of the Bosnian highlands are more permissive than their better-known compatriots, but lack formal structure. Retaining many archaic elements of Christianity, they are often treated scornfully by coreligionists, if remembered at all.
Conversos	The Conversos originated when Jewish communities were forcibly converted to Christianity. Though they have embraced their new faith, they still remember their old traditions and are sympathetic towards those who still follow them.
Nestorianism	In teaching that Jesus Christ has two natures, one divine and one human, Nestorianism has been declared as heretical by most Christian faiths. Despite this, its unique outlook has garnered followers in places as far east as China, India, and even Mongolia.
Bogomilism	Electing their spiritual leaders from amongst the general populace, Bogomils reject all worldly trappings and institutions of power, advocating instead for a return to the earlier methods of spiritual teaching practiced by Christ and his disciples.
Catharism	Teaching that all matter was created by Satan and is therefore inherently tainted with sin, Cathars believe that the only way to achieve salvation is to reject the materialistic world, and with it, all worldly desires.
Iconoclasm	Believing that any use of spiritual symbols violates the Second Commandment to not make any graven images, the Iconoclasts and seek to destroy existing religious iconography and reject the creation of new ones.
Lollardy	Denouncing many common Christian sacraments like baptism and confession, Lollards hold that The Holy Bible is the only valid source of Christian doctrine and that any teachings not directly based on it are inherently illegitimate.
Paulicianism	Rejecting the divinity of Christ and viewing the veneration of the cross as heathenish, Paulicians aim to restore what they believe to be the true form of Christianity as laid out by Paul of Tarsus.
Waldensianism	Holding that the accumulation of wealth is an anathema that is incompatible with achieving salvation, Waldensians preach apostolic poverty as being the path to perfection and believe that priests should hold neither titles nor lands.
Messalianism	Believing that the essence of God can be perceived through the carnal senses, the Messalians reject traditional Christian sacraments and instead seek to experience God directly through less conventional means of worship.
Adamitism	The Adamites claim to have recaptured Adam and Eve's original state of innocence by shedding their clothes. Groups of Adamites often live in a state of absolute lawlessness, claiming that due to this innocence their actions can be neither good nor evil.

Islam

Muslim faiths have the special doctrine Teachings of the Prophet and the main doctrine Muhammad's Succession. The latter divides them into the Sunni, Shia, Muhakkima and Zandaqa sub-groups. Members of Sub-groups while treat each other as Astray instead of Hostile, only the Zandaqa group while still treat other Hostile but will also get a 5+ Advantage against co-religionist.

Faith	Description
Ash'arism	An orthodox school of theology that holds that Allah has created every moment in time, but that humans have free will to choose between good — what God has commanded — and evil — what God forbids.
Muwalladism	Far from the center of the Arabic world, Iberian Muslims adapted to the realities of ruling over a region with large Christian and Jewish populations that had strange, foreign traditions.
Maturidism	A rationalist theology which espouses that ethics have an objective existence, as derived from the eternal qualities of God, and that humans must therefore pursue ethical choices.
Almohadism	A reformist branch of Sunni Islam that originated with the Berber tribes in northern Africa, the Almohadi movement saw themselves as unitarians and preached a doctrine of purified monotheism.
Mu'tazilism	A rationalist school of theology that asserts that the Quran is not eternally co-existing with God, as God must have preceded his own word.
Isma'ilism	A Shia faith that considers the line of true Imams — those imbued with divine knowledge and infallibility — to run through Isma'il bin Jafar. They are also known as Seveners, as Isma'il was the seventh Imam after Muhammad.
Zayidism	A true Imam is not infallible, but defined by their struggle against corruption and evil. Zayidis are therefore defined by their belief that Zayd ibn Ali was the rightful successor to the Imamate, due to his rebellion against the Umayyads.
Nizarism	A rationalist faith that emphasizes reasoning in interpretation of the Quran and hadiths. Being Imam is hereditary, and they trace the line of succession to Ali.
Imamism	Imamis believe that Twelve Imams were prophesied to lead the Ummah, and that the twelth Imam, Imam Zaman, is waiting to return to lead Muslims into the Day of Judgement.
Ibadism	The Ibadi do not believe that it is necessary for the entirety of Islam to be governed by a Caliph or an Imam, if there is no suitable candidate. They are therefore Muhakkima, recognizing neither the line of Ali or the successors of Abu Bakr as worthy leaders.
Najdatism	Adherents of the Najdati branch of the Khawarij firmly believe in the establishment of Muslim leadership through the consensus of the faithful. The leader is not infallible, but through the community they are chosen by God.
Azarqism	Recognizing no worthy successor to Muhammad, the Azariqas consider it their right and duty to struggle against any leader who does not uphold the values of their faith. Indeed, any difference in interpretation of faith would mark one as an infidel.
Sufrism	The Sufri believe in divine guidance and leadership through the interpretation of the word of God, rather than inheritance. The will of God becomes known as an expression of the Ummah's will, as long as the people of the Ummah are well-versed in the Quran.
Druze	Hailing from the Mountain of Druze, the Druze faith follows many of the principles of Isma'ilism, but also includes gnostic beliefs in an esoteric theology focused on the Truth of existence.
Alawism	Alawite religious teachings are secretive, and the Quran is only one of their sacred texts. In addition to the belief in the succession of Imams through Ali, Alawis also believe in reincarnation, and that all beings were stars cast out of heaven who must now re-earn their place by living successive good and faithful lives.
Alevism	Alevis believe in the succession of the Twelve Imams, but also follow many other traditions as outlined in their collection of holy texts, the Buyruks. In Alevi tradition, God is the Truth, and Muhammad and Ali are manifestations of Him in the world.
Ikhtilafism	Ikhtilafis believe in the divine nature of the infallible Imams, starting with Ali. God has not only appointed and inspired them, but partially inhabits them to guide their acts, and by extension all of the Ummah.
Qarmatianism	A branch of Isma'ilism that incorporated elements of Zoroastrianism. The number of Imams was preordained by God to be seven, and there could therefore be no more Imams before the seventh Imam — Muhammad ibn Isma'il — returned to guide the faithful.
Quranism	A literalist interpretation of Islam that emphasizes that the Quran as the only source of divine wisdom, and should be followed to the letter, ignoring hadith and fatwas.

Judaism

Jewish faiths have the special doctrine Teachings of Moses.

Faith	Description
Kabarism	Kabars emphasize the common and correct interpretation of the Halakha, in conjunction with shared Kabbalist tradtions.
Haymanot	The rabbis, or kahen, judge in matters of religious law, but they work together with a circle of elders who judge in matters of tradition and life.
Karaism	In the matters of religious law, the Tanakh alone is the highest and absolute authority. The role of rabbis are not to reassess and adapt the rules of the covenant, but to interpret their literal meaning.
Rabbinism	Rabbinism emphasizes the rabbis' purpose as interpreters of the religious law of the Halakha. Laws and traditions is what ensures the covenant with the Lord is kept, and the rabbis guard those laws.
Samaritanism	Descended from the tribes that settled Samaria, Samaritans follow an original, unchanged version of the Torah. In this way they are practicing the true religion of Moses, serving the direct duties granted by God.
Malabarism	As the descendants of the tribes of Israel spread across the world, they built smaller communities from west to east, acting as tribes of their own. Also called Cochin Jews, they made their new home in the Cochin Kingdom of South India. There, they intermixed with the local people and exchanged cultures.

Dualism

In both start dates Manicheanism is the only Dualist faith remaining.

Faith	Description
Manicheanism	The revelations granted to Buddha, Zoroaster and Jesus were incomplete reflections of the real world. The prophet Mani brought the final revelation of the existence of the spiritual world of light and the material world of darkness, and how human souls, as with all light, gradually return to the creator.
Cainitism	Caine was the first victim of the Evil of the Demiurge, creator of all physical matter. Since matter and bodies are evil, bodies must be defiled and destroyed through sinfulness, so that the true human soul within can be freed.
Mandeaism	Mandeanism traces its lineage to Adam, with John the Baptist as their greatest prophet. The world consists of light and darkness, and in time all mortal souls will be judged as to whether they are worthy to return to the eternal light.
Priscillianism	There exists two kingdoms, one of Light and one of Darkness. Human souls were intended to conquer the Kingdom of Darkness, but fell and were trapped in the material realm. Among humans there were Twelve Patriarchs of Light who failed to overcome the Darkness, as they were split between body and soul. Thus God sent the Saviour to earth, and through his death once again enabled the freeing of human spirits.
Sabianism	Sabianism believes in the eternally existing God, and a material world created by Satan. They worship the angelic caretakers of the world, who — together with the Prophets — guide humanity towards heaven, and reunification with God.
Sethianism	The Unknown God emanated all existence into the perfect Pleroma, filled by gracious aeons, first among them Barbelo the Mother-Father. A corruption caused the existence of Yaldabaoth, who stole a shred of divinity and created the material world. However, when he created mankind, he accidentally gave them his stolen spark of divinity. Yaldabaoth will spend eternity attempting to reclaim his power, while mankind must strive to return themselves to Barbelo and the Unknown God.
Valentinianism	The Father, the original creator, is the depth of all knowledge, and the path to true understanding — gnosis. Achieving knowledge improves the world, and once the world is collectively lifted from its material ignorance, the world will return to its spiritual, natural state.

Miletê Tawûsê Melek

All Miletê faiths start as dead in both start dates and are identical in Doctrines to each other.

Faith	Description
Kitêbacilweism	Followers of the Book of Revelation, which tells of Xwedê's greatness.
Meshefaresism	Followers of the Black Book, which describes how the Lord came down from Black Mountain and created the world.
Yazidism	The Yazidi believe that God created the world and placed it under the protection of seven angels, foremost among them Tawûsê Melek, the Peacock Angel. The Peacock Angel at first fell from God's grace, but his tears of remorse extinguished the fires of his prison, and he was reunited with God. In the same manner, we all seek to reunite with God at the end of many long lifetimes.

Buddhism

All Buddhist faiths have no Head of Faith.

Faith	Description
Nangchos	Buddhism in Tibet is known as Nangchos, or the Dharma of the Insiders. Within the Tibetan Empire, Vajrayana and Mahayana beliefs and practices synctretized with traditional Tibetan beliefs, practices, and deities, with varying schools also competing with each other for temporal control.
Vajrayana	The motivation towards buddhahood is crucially important, and true enlightenment can only be achieved when sought for the benefit of all sentient beings. All beings are born with an enlightened mind, but it is obscured by existence. Practicing seeing the truth of the world and the universe therefore unlocks one's innate enlightenment.
Theravada	The path to enlightenment goes through personal experience, reflection and reasoning. Gautama Buddha found his own path to Nirvana, and the only way of finding a similar way, is to experience, learn and study ones own existence.
Mahayana	Release from Samsara is not merely something done individually, but an experience that is shared among sentient beings. Achieving buddhahood is one step on the long path for all sentient beings to be released into Nirvana, and that is the virtuous goal of Samsara.
Ari	The Ari faith combines elements from tantric Buddhism, spirit worship, traditional Nāga worship as well as Hinduism. Ari worshipers are considered to be Buddhists, although their practices are preceived as somewhat unorthodox.

Hinduism

All Hindu faiths have no Head of Faith.

Faith	Description
Shaivism	Shaivites worship Shiva, the creator and destroyer of worlds, as the Supreme Being that exists in all things. In the same fashion as Shiva works to maintain balance and preserve the universe, the faithful must strive to bring balance into their lives.
Vaishnavism	In Vaishnavism, Vishnu is the Supreme Lord, and the most important devas are his many incarnated avatars, such as Rama and Krishna. Each of these various incarnations work to restore balance to the universe.
Krishnaism	Krishna is the authentic form of the Supreme Being, and Vishnu is his avatar when he takes form as the omnipotent. Through his divine avatars, he is present in all things.
Smartism	The Smarta tradition rejects the worship of individual gods. Brahman is one and eternal, and Vishnu, Devi, Shiva, Ganesh and Surya are worshiped as equal avatars of the Supreme Being. Any individual worship is a step towards achieving understanding and unity with Brahman.
Advaita Vedanta	Unlike many Hindu faiths, Advaita Vedanta emphasizes the unity of the Atman, the true self, with the Brahman, the truest reality, and believes that moksha can be achieved in life as well as death.
Srikula Shaktism	Shaktism believes in the Great Goddess as the Supreme Being from which springs all existence. The Srikula worship Tripura Sundari as the highest aspect of the Goddess, and the source of all Shakti, the energy of the universe.
Kalikula Shaktism	Shaktism believes in the Great Goddess as the Supreme Being from which springs all existence. The Kalikula worship Kali as the one who can give guidance, good rebirth and ultimately moksha.

Jainism

All Jain faiths have no Head of Faith.

Faith	Description
Digambara	Kevala Jnana frees the body from all physical needs. However, the soul can only be freed when completely naked, which is why Digambara monks must live without clothes.
Svetambara	Kevala Jnana is a state of the soul, not of ones physical being. Through good lives, one can achieve omniscience and leave the endless cycle. The moment of moksha itself is only achievable through death, when one becomes Siddha.
Yapanyia	An offshoot of Svetambara, the Yapaniya believe that moksha is attainable through death, but that it is important to enable the freeing of the soul as much as possible in life, through acts such as nakedness.

Zoroastrianism

Zoroastrianism can only be selected as a starting religion in 867. While it still exists in 1066 there aren't any Landed characters that practice it. It is the only Eastern Religion that treats other Faiths within the Religion as Heresies aka Hostile and other Religions as Evil.

Khurramism	In a world of Light and Darkness, unjust rulers must be overthrown in support of what is good. Through prophets such as Mazdak, Muhammad and Abu Muslim, Khurramites believe that the divine is born into humanity, and will one day return to lead them as the Messiah.
Arewordik	Many ancient beliefs still resonate in the Arewordik faith, a sect of cryptic Zoroastrians with Ahura Mazda (as Aramazd) ruling over a pantheon of gods, including the Sun itself, that together direct the world.
Mazdakism	The prophet Mazdak followed Ahura Mazda's word, and agitated for shared possessions and universal cooperation between humans to overcome Angra Mainyu.

Shangqing	Shangqing Taoism was the dominant form of Taoism during the Tang Dynasty. Its followers seek to harmonize themselves with the universe through mediation and physical exercises, as opposed to the talismans and alchemy used by other branches of Taoism.
Zhengyi	Unlike the other Taoist schools, Zhengyis observe a strict theocratic hierarchy under the Celestial Master. Practitioners craft and sell protective talismans to prevent the loss of qi, the life energy which sustains all living things.
