Lolion /'lɑːʔiən/ is an ancient dantrian religion, which conceptualizes the world as a dish connected to the feast of gods by an infinite staircase.

It was a major religion in the Western Dantrian Civilization. The direct influence of Lolion can be seen in the dantrian calendar, which is based on the concept of cycles and is usually visualized as an infinite staircase (Quun Tirtoir). It also designates the end of the world, which is defined according to Lolion's theology.

The exact meaning of the word “lolion” has been lost, however multiple interpretations exist based on the surviving dantrian documents, as well as based on the context of Thonthal, which probably originated somewhere in Central Dantria.

One of the most common translations of the word is “life cycle” or “lifecycle”, referring to the descent and ascent that each creature experiences, and to the fact that this is just a single world out of many.

Another common translation is “life energy”.

Lolion was a major religion in the Western Dantrian Civilization, although its status in the second half of the second revolution remains unclear and some researchers believe that it began losing ground in Western Dantria.

The world is viewed as a dish, a flat disc, that is connected to the celestial realm by an infinite staircase (“Quun Tirtoir” in Thonthal). Creatures descend the staircase and upon reaching the dish get born as animals or humans. When a creature dies, it ascends the staircase to return to the celestial realm. Therefore, each creature's life is just an incarnation of their soul in the material world. However, none will ever return, because the staircase is infinite. Therefore, by the time one reaches the celestial realm, this world will end. This posits the idea that each person can experience life on Ahldorae just once, which makes it precious.

The celestial realm is the feast of gods. There are many worlds, each is its own dish.

Superhero warriors are regarded as demigods, children of gods sent to the world. Some are sent to wreak havoc, some to build and explore. Each demigod has a deity, designated as a parent or a guardian. A parent signifies a closer relationship, while a guardian is usually a reflection of a less noble heritage.

Lolion places high importance on its “mysteries”, a set of philosophical problems that seem to defy logic. They are mostly dealing with the concept of infinity, since the central role of Quun Tirtoir in its worldview complicates matters. Lolion mysteries are hotly debated between its theologians, although different positions regarding them have been limited to academia and have rarely resulted in sectarianism.

Quun Tirtoir, the infinite staircase, poses a problem in that if it's infinite, no creature could have actually reached the dish (the world), since it would take an infinite amount of time to reach the dish, while the dish's existence is finite.

Quun Tirtoir is posited to be both a metaphysical and a physical entity. Lolion theology places Quun Tirtoir into the center of the dish. However, as no Quun Tirtoir was ever found on the Continent, this creates a problem for the theology, since people do get born and people do die, proving that Quun Tirtoir must be somewhere.
