Ipsitite Paxism, known also as simply Ipsitism, is a Central Yasterian branch of Paxism. The faith, named for Prophet Ipsit of Suvania, is primarily observed in Hadena, Hakikara and certain rural regions of Suvania. The Sect deviates heavily from other more mainstream branches of Paxism, stemming primarily from the influence of Ipsit and his world view. In the founding and primary religious text of the sect, the Mahimavan Agranirupana, Ipsit describes the world as a cyclical field of battle between Noi and Borg. As such, the world is described as having had numerous Coming Days that shall continue to see Noi and Pax defeat Borg.
Distinct in the deviating beliefs on the supernatural entities, Ipsitites represent, in various forms, Pax as an avatar or manifestation of the sea - while the Borg is viewed as a corrupted Urth. While there is some debate of such practice, some Ipsities additionally view Noi as a manifestation of the Sky - to which all creation originated. This is disputed by some Ipsitite groups, self-identified as Aslists, which argue that such depictions were brought about by Ayalists after Ipsit's death. Despite this, a majority of Aslists and the sky-depiction supporting Asakhites remain in a joint communion, due to the 1543 Concordat of Kaskamalo making the claim that any assertion on the true nature of Noi would be seen as an act of hubris and rejection of sapientkind's limit of understanding.
