Paxism: Difference between revisions

* The '''Sohadekist''' school of Melkezedekitism believes that Pax will appoint a human to act as the Liberator of the Packilvanian realms. This belief speaks in terms of a moral and cultural figure who will develop and unite the beliefs of the Packilvanian people. This belief was used by Saidun the Conqueror and his Demirite descendents to justify their rule over the Feline majority of Packilvania. They in turn established the Saidunist school.

* The '''Saidunist''' school believes that Pax was human and thus humans have a special place in the world. Thus, they discouraged humans from breeding with other primines such as orcs and elves and from humans developing intimate relationships with Felines and other non-priming groups. Furthermore they saw the human whom Sohadek spoke of as a political ruler as opposed to moral and cultural figure.

* The '''Madvinist''' school emerged in the 1800s and taught that Saidunism and Sohadekist was evil. It was established by Madvin Bedon, the great great grandfather of Amhoud I. They taught that Saidunism was nothing more than human propaganda and that Felines had to rule over themselves. With the rise of [[Zerah Demir IV]], they taught that women were inferior to men and thus encouraged the creation of a hypermasculine patriarchal society.

[[File:Karkati Brigade Flag.png|thumb|Flag of the Karkati Brigades, the last of the Ipsitite Military Orders, bearing the Crab which acts as a symbol of the Pax in the Sect.]]The '''Ipsitite''' sect is a heavily deviating and minor sect of Paxism thatemerging came out ofin the nomadicmid hordes of Western Yasteria, existing now as only minor pockets in Suvania after being persecuted by both [[Alva]] and later Suvania itself. Arising around 740700s CE, it competed with [[Ayalism]] in theWestern region, eventually being almost wiped out following the creation of the [[Alva|Alvan Empire]]Yasteria. ItThe wasIpsitites startedbelieve bytheir the Prophet Ipsitleader, a traveller who crossed from modern day Suvania to Central Yasteria in order to better understand the world, returning to his homeland speaking of "The Prophet of the Water." This is believed to be a misinterpreted form of the Pax, with Pax having been the word used for "Water". '''Ipsit taught his followers of his interpretations of Pax as a mortal prophet of Noi''', and thus was declared by them to be the second coming of the Prophet, with the [[Ayalism|Ayalist]] Alvans being descendants of the torturersPax. TheIpsitite followersDoctrine, ofcoming Ipsit wrote what was to becomefrom the ''Mahimavan Agranirupana'', describingdescribes the world in a cyclical manner as a battle between the evil and cruelty of the Urth which they calledcall Borg, and the Creator who arrived from the Sky which they calledcall Noi - although some{{refn|group=n|name=a|Some Anthropologists and Historians theorize that the link between Noi and the sky is a later interpretation by [[Ayalism|Ayalist]] scholars wishing to make the sect more synchronous with their beliefs.}}. Ipsitites believe there will be many Coming Days, and each shall see a victory of Noi (the Sky), alongside Pax (the Sea) against the evils of Borg (the Urth), believing that should the Sea be destroyed, Borg will encompass the entirety of the Urth and Avarice shall reign. Ipsitites use of a lot of naturalistic symbolism in expressing their faith, often depicting the Pax in the form of a Crab, with the crab being their most used religious symbol. This is believed to be due to the nature of crabs as having had their eggs laid in the ocean before coming on land, as if rising from the water to claim dominion over the Land. Many Paxists consider the Ipsitites to be a different religion as opposed to a sect, however their shared worship of Noi and belief in the battle between the Pax and Noi against the Borg intertwines them to a certain degree.
