The Fallen God
According to Ariden scripture, the Fallen God was the father of the Thirteen and the deity responsible for the creation of the world of Tane, Heaven, and the universe.

As time went on, the Fallen God grew cold and controlling towards his creations. Reluctantly, The Twelve used their powers to overthrow their Father and banish him into the underworld.

Arin
One of the core tenets of Ariden is the belief that Arin is the chosen prophet and messiah of The Thirteen. Aridens believe that Arin was anointed by The Twelve as the savior of Tane and hold that she ascended to the side of The Twelve after the fall of the Tiber Empire.

Death and afterlife
Most Ariden believe that when a person dies, their souls are brought to the Underworld and judged based on their deeds in life.

Those who lead good, virtuous lives are sent to Alsia, where they would live in paradise. The souls of those who have committed evil and haven't repented are sent to Tarsa, where they would spend eternity being tortured by their sins.
