The ''Ichtmar'' was written by Prophet Besmali in 2000 BCE. It contains the creation story that forms the basis of the religion. It draws on and synthesizes multiple oral and written sources. It contains an account of how the world was created, how the Esma were made, how Borg turned from righteousness and inflicted corruption on and assumed control of the world, and how Noi rejected and abandoned the planet. It contains an account of the Pax's journey of discovering Noi, rejecting Borg and being empowered with the ability to defeat him. The book ends with a description of a prophecy of how Borg would escape from the Jovian Gate and Pax would destroy him forever and set Urth free from evil. ▼

▲The ''Ichtmar'' was written by Prophet Besmali
The ''Vagumar'' was composed by Jerome of Damaclion on the order of King [[Suleiman of Yehudah]]. It quotes the
The ''Haagemar'' also draws on the creation myth account as provided by the Ichtmar but makes modifications with respect to the mortality of the Pax informed by the polytheistic teachings and beliefs of pagan kingdom that received Paxism. It contains a description of the apotheosis of the Pax and his marriage with Noi. It contains a detailed list and description of the Haagen, the children created by Pax and Noi through their marriage who were assigned control over areas of Urth's natural phenomena and the fates of humans. Although it does not explicitly call for the creation of religious leaders dedicated to each Haagen, these leaders and their communities developed organically.
The ''Bas Magdamar'' was commissioned by [[Melkezedek the Great]] draws on a desire by scholars and religious leaders who were influenced by the Yehudite sect to return to the monotheism of the ''Vagumar''. However, it bows to the centrality of the position of Pax in beliefs by describing him as a special spiritual intercessor for mortals. This book's title means True Great Writing which reflects its creator's desire to centralise and control religious teaching. Thus, it calls for the creation of a religious government (i.e. the [[Magisterium of Paxism]]) with the authority to interpret and direct the worship of its people. Therefore, it creates room for the creation of authoritative religious writings.
