Bas Magdamar

The Bas Magdamar (Packilvanian: luBasmakhdamarah) is the religious scripture of Paxism. The Bas Magdamar consists of three clusters of writings that were each conceived over different epochs and amalgamated into a single text. The first section is called the Ichtmar and consists of writings inspired by and linked to the disciples and school of Prophet Besmali, the supposed founder of Paxism and consists of Books written between 2000 BCE and 1700 BCE. The section is called the Vagumar and consists of writings by various authors that were assembled by Jerome of Damaclion including by King Suleiman of Yehudah who commissioned the Vagumar and had it approved by the Ecclesiastical Council of Adrien however subsequent texts were added to the Vagumar such that the writings in the Vagumar span from 1200 BCE to 0 CE.

The final section of Bas Magdamar consists of additions made and approved under High King Melkezedek the Great of Packilvania who coined the name luBasmakhdamarah which was Staynicised as the Bas Magdamar for the entire collection of nearly 2000 years of writings. All the texts were translated from their original languages into the imperial court language of the time which today is known simply as Liturgical Packilvanian. Through these additions, further additions and apocryphal writings were banned and the Magisterium of Paxism was promoted to safeguard the teaching of religion. Today it is the sole scripture of mainstream Paxism (aka Melkezedekism). Apocryphal writings include the Haagemar and Mahimavan Agranirupana which are used by the tiny Obedite and Ipstite sects respectively. Another extremely small sect, the Yehudite sect only recognises the Vagumar and Ichtmar.

List of Books

Ichtmar

The source material of the Ichtmar consisted of the following writings which were assembled and reorganised by the Disciples of Prophet Besmali under the direction of Lord Tiraz Nawal such that they were divided and reassembled according to themes and concepts. So, the Council of the Disciples of Prophet Besmali, which consisted of his most senior and trusted friends and followers as well as their students and acolytes, spent several decades taking original source material from his scribes namely Lord Ikhas, Lord Fihan, Lord Akhnum and Lord Tiraz (together known as the Four Great Lords).

Additionally, the source material draws from supposed transcriptions and commentaries on the homilies of Prophet Besmali and the other Four Great Lords by their Disciples namely Sujahal of Ekhran, Tulyas of Furhaniyan, Khayjal of Rashmudin, Tunayeem the Nameless, and Warhdanim of Yalmutahan. There were 5 Ecclesiastical Councils that approved these subsequent additions and corrections of the original text over a period of 300 years, with the last Ecclesiastical Council before the Vagumar, being the Ecclesiastical Council of Ashtaknahan. The entire Ichtmar is etched into the walls of the Tomb of King Thayaltumid of Rutkhumid, whose support was instrumental in the formation of Paxism.
