The Name
The Religion was named after Rotia due to him being ruler of the gods and in the main considered to be the most powerful. As such those who follow what would be the Faith of Rotia are said to be the main practitioners of the Religion of Rotia and as such do not tend to subscribe to one faiths teaching over another, and in fact follow the practices of all the faiths to better serve the greater religion.
Main Teachings
The Religion of Rotia teaches that everything in the universe including the universe itself has a nature, that cannot change, but will seek to find balance. As an analogy a Pine Tree will always produce Pines. In addition the religion also teaches that whist the gods operate inside the universe, they can only influence it to a certain degree. For example, Rotia created the Earth and all life on it; or did he and in fact all he really did was influence the universe to create life? Many religious scholars and priests have debated what came first the universe or the gods.
The Religion also teaches us that despite everything having a nature and in theory that nature is fixed. It is only through the Goddess Vemuna influence that the God Arahin hold of our natures can be influenced. As for where their order their must also be chaos to balance it out. Thus the religion states that it is possible for a person or thing to change their nature providing the catalyst that lead to that change was either gradual or extreme. It is though this that we also are able to observe that the religion takes into account that their must be balance. Again this plays into the main teaching that everything within the universe and the universe itself have a nature, and will always seek to find balance.
In addition the religion teaches us that everything has a connection in some form or anouher, this simply could be to balance something out or it could simply have a natural connection for example, the Light and Dark are both connect as one balances the other, though Light also would be connected to Fire; as fire produces light. This connection was often depected in the teachings of the different faiths as they would often have the minor gods or goddess working with their main equivalents. Such as Odar the God of Fire and Heat would often work with Ewemis the God of the Sun and Moon.
