Mauism: Difference between revisions

Ahua the Great used this to claim the divine right to rule. He brought together the teachings of folk religions and the Thaerist purists in a way that appealed to moderates and undecided people. People rallied around him and established a cult of personality. Many joined his forces and ascribed to his teachings. He eventually defeated most South West Pacific tribes and united them as the Oan Isles (named for Heaven, the divine realm of the Almighty Atea). The word for the Creator deity, Atea, is derived from the proto-Yasteruon word Thaer or Daer which was used in Aurora as the name for the Creator deity.

 

Ahua the Great proceeded to persecute traditional folk religions. The incredible victories of his armies in battle and the speed with which he spread his rule was used as evidence to support the argument that Thaerism was right and that folk religions were wrong. Thus, many practitioners and adherents of folk religions fled to the Strathepolic Islands. Nevertheless, native folk believes stubbornly clung to life in the form of rituals, superstition and folklore.
