===Founding of Paxism===
Around
When he was around 30 years old, Besmali proclaimed that he was the Pax (pronounced differently than the modern version in Ancient Packilvanian). Pax was the word for water and is the same word from which Bakil originated. This meant that he held spiritual knowledge that would satisfy the proverbial thirst of the people.

He cultivated a small but loyal initial following. His followers were zealous in their devotion and were allegedly capable of performing miraculous supernatural acts. Nonetheless, this movement was brutally attacked by existing powers who feared that Pax and his followers were trying to overthrow their rule and undermine the pagan gods and goddesses that they had come to worship.
Pax continued to preach and his message spread across central and northern Yasteria Major. In 2036 BCE, he was stoned to death at the hill called Maguden near Bingol. His followers carried his remains and he was buried in a tomb near the city walls. Apparently, there was an urthquake which his Believers thought was from Zora which opened the Urth and swallowed his bones so that no one could ever find them again. With that his followers spread Paxism and added onto his initial teachings with teachings and writings of their own.
===Closure of the Paxist Canon===
King Suleiman of Yehudah ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Yehudah which stretched from northern Ashura to northern Mekedesh. King Suleiman allegedly exhibited signs of divine favour by being able to exercise spiritual gifts such as casting out evil spirits and speaking in divine languages known as glossolalia. Because of this, Prophet Madawer anointed him and proclaimed him the Priest-King of Yehudah. Obviously modern historians contend with the accuracy of these claims. In the year 1100 BCE, King Suleiman commissioned religious scholar Jerome of Damaclion to compile the major writings of the most prominent religious figures in Paxism into a single document called the Sacred Scriptures. The King called a council of eminent religious leaders and scholars to approve the canon created by Jerome of Damaclion called the Council of Adrien. The Council approved the final draft and the book continues to be used as the core religious writing of Paxism.
