Pastafarianism and The Elemenstor Cycle

More on the pastafarianism can be found here

Just as C.S. Lewis's "Narnia" series was inspired by Lewis' personal religious leanings, and as Tolkien incorporated Catholicism into The Silmarillion, and not forgetting the nature of Jungian philosophy in Herbert's Dune series, so too was Brahe inspired by his personal spiritual background. Tycho Brahe is well known among Pastafarians as a Deacon of the Moominist Church of His Spaghettiness. Despite how Brahe was constrained by the setting created by Realmworlds Publishing, much of the Elemenstor Cycle is actually an allegory for devout Moominist teachings.

First and foremost, there is his works on the Sundering. In the Sundering, he frequently refers to the Sickle and the Cataclysmic Bluont as the "false" parts of the world, and only the Shield as the true part. If one studies the proportions of Rubian distributed among the worlds, one will see that 2/9ths of the Rubian occurs in the Shield, this showing the Shield as his vision of his lord Monster, and the other two worlds as the false, disputed parts of God.

Also, there is his chronicling of the Unsundering and Resundering. Despite the dire nature of the process, Brahe's writing almost seems elated when the Resundering occurs - understanding his religious background, it makes sense that he wants to keep his God divided. Also, the way he tells how Blood Pirates of Meydrag'haa prevent the overheating of the Shield after the abuse of stresses of The Resundering obviously shows his belief in the FSMist dogma of piracy and planetary warming.

In addition, the Spaghetti Plane is almost certainly a nod to Brahe's Pastafarian beliefs.

See also, The Kronikles of Noodlenia, which heavily draw from Pastafarianism and are set in a small pocket parallel dimension related to Battal.
