The Hyacinthan Faith is a religious system present in many regions of the Milky Way Galaxy, including some Humans, which asserts that prior to the creation of the 'current Omniverse' (the "Second Cradle") there existed a predecessor which has since then been destroyed with 7 of the few survivors ascending to godhood in this iteration to protect it. Both of these omniverses originally emerged from a chaotic nonexistence that envelops everything beyond them known as the "Primordial Void", which is also the 'thing' that consumed and destroyed the First Cradle.
The 7 survivors of the First Cradle's destruction, known as the Seraphocosm were (contrary to their current state) active in the early universe, spreading the Hyacinthan Faith in order to empower themselves via Divine Energy in order to combat the Daemocosm, whom are destructive entities that originate from the Primordial Void. In order to maintain their divine states the Seraphocosm are said to require the spilling of blood from their followers, which is usually preformed via bloodletting rituals in species that are capable of doing it, though despite these rituals the number of followers has overtime slowly decreased leading to the Seraphocosm slowly dying off with only Rakhou-cosm remaining to defend the Second Cradle from being destabilized by the invading Daemocosm.
Beliefs
Behaviours
Hyacinthans tend to follow a set of morals derived from how they view Rakhou-cosm's actions which are said to include; thinking strategically[1], displaying kindness[2], remaining curious[3], and showing strength[4]. Thanks to these tenets and their avoidance of conflict unless if their opponent is a threat to them or associated with the Daemocosm most Hyacinthan groups maintain neutral (if not friendly) relations with other groups and religions fairly universally.
Other prominent behavioural concepts among Hyacinthans include the likes of familiar individuals being connected beyond reality, utilising implants to easily communicate with Hyacinthans of other species beyond verbal means, following each others festivities regardless of cultural differences, and in fringe cases an unusual acceptable of Hiveminds (including artificial ones) as a means of achieving collective happiness.

Magical Practices
Hyacinthans are known to commonly partake in various occult practices, often being proficient in at least one form such as Theurgy or various magical self-defence mechanisms.
Syncretism
Some Hyacinthan sects are known to sometimes worship additional deities from both the Hyacinthan Pantheon and other religions under the pretence that all deities must work together to defend the cosmos. While such cases are usually generally accepted among the broader Hyacinthan community, cases in which these syncretic sects adopt contradictory moral systems or bring negative attention too the faith are typically viewed with disdain.
Followers
Human Followers
Hyacinthan followers have been present on Yata since ancient times, during which a civilisation known as the Hyacinthan Kingdom of Earth existed for several centuries in the Yangtze River region after being evangelized by a visiting extraterrestrial being. The modern branches of the faith among humanity developed independently from this occurrence however, with the current largest communion among Humans known as The Stargazer's Church emerging out of the 'Stargazing Society' which was founded in the late 100s after the arrival of another extraterrestrial proselytizer.
Extraterrestrial Followers
The Hyacinthan Faith has a much larger and more influential interstellar and even intergalactic presence consisting of numerous loosely connected sects that either operate as their home civilisation's state religion or as a notable minority among their populations. These interstellar iterations are often radically different from human communions regardless of their common religious origins, varying in technological capabilities, tenets and mindsets when its comes to most things. According to Hyacinthan sripture the religion expands even beyond the Milky Way into other galaxies and realities, although due to limitations when it comes to traveling to such regions no verifiable proof is yet available.
Notable Hyacinthan civilisations that have come into contact with Yata or Humanity include the likes of the Kaieuhth-Urhn Empire, a now extinct species that attempted to colonise Yata several million years in the past, and the Terzan-2 Coalition located to the east of the Galactic Core, which is currently the largest known Hyacinthan civilisation to be documented.
Intergalactic Hyacinthan Language
Hyacinthans are known to commonly make use of the 'Intergalactic Hyacinthan Language', an anomalously preserved language which has gone unchanged despite being spoken across vast distances of space, alongside their own native languages. While the language's spoken form is known to somewhat vary, the written is largely consistent across all cultures regardless of their separation due to a supposed divine act designed to maintain the unity of the Hyacinthan peoples.
