The Rin are old, like older then dirt. They also after trillions of years have split into many sects and faiths. Although a empire made out of thousands of faiths would have issue the Rin are united in the worship of the Divine Spirit thus giving all common ground leading to less conflict.

Adherents of Ishva:

One of the oldest faiths within the empire predating any state sponsored gods by a few thousand years. Ishva is the God of Life and Death, God of desert and oasis. The Adherents wear white veils and turbans as well as orange sashes and white or tan robes. To them Ishva is the name of the Divine spirit and thus when one dies they join Ishav in his halls. The faith originates on the desert worlds of Ishva and has since spread to thousands of worlds gathering trillions of followers. the faith believes in the tenets of Ishava that teach to live a good and just life with few possessions. The symbol of the faith is a black crescent with one black dot above and bellow it.

Kin'ma:

The people who live on the dark moon of the homeworld. They worship the God Mother. They generally are the most powerful of the 'magic' users. They live in a matriarchal society with the men serving as the workers and servants. The head of the faith is the 'Speaker'. Generally the people of Kin'ma are almost purple in color and have very light white almost grey markings.

Worshipers of Goti:

The Worshipers of Goti are a strange lot. They ritual shave their heads and tattoo phrases or entire chapters of their holy book on themselves. They believe that war is the only true way to honor the emperor who they call Goti. They make up the Goti berserkers in battle and are known to collect skulls and hideous trophies.
