Kozam is a polytheistic religion which originated in ancient [[Kormistazm]] and has a present-day following primarily in modern [[Axdel]]. It is regarded by practitioners as the indigenous religion of Axdel and a [[Wikipedia:Nature religion|nature religion]].
Kozam is a religion that was practised primarily by citizens of the [[Kormistazm|Kormistazic Empire]], and was the official religion of the empire. Kairos, the holy book of Kozam, was originally written around 3000BCE on clay tablets, but the modern version was created by monks of the Prophet Jakatai Kalamitas in 503BCE.


Kozam revolves around the ''Enul'' (translation: "gods", literally: "unity")'','' the twin dieties of Sek and Nokt which created the world, and the angelic ''Idola'' (translation: "Angels" literally: "Servants"), supernatural entities who embody the natural phenomena created by the Enul. A third type of diety, ''Kaevul (translation: "Old one"),'' referred to as Kevatuul embodies the universe at large.

Kevatuul is the Kozam god of destruction and chaos, said to form after the deaths of both Sek and Noct from their bodies and the essences of their idols, and is said to bring about the death of the world at the end of time.
Kevatuul is a ''Kaevul'' who embodies the universe. He makes a pact with the King of Lapatus, Ericco Kanaquill, shattering his body to create the stars and granting the king great power. The king's wife soon birthed the twins Sek and Nokt who bore the power of the Kaevul divided between them, making them the Ano.
