{{Paxism}}
[[Paxism]] is a monotheistic religion that originated in [[Yasteria]]. It was formed from the beliefs of iron age civilisations in an area coextensive with the [[Administrative divisions of Packilvania|modern-day Packilvanian province]] of [[Ashura]] by [[Prophet Besmali]] (in the 2nd millennium BCE) who wrote or inspired the first and most widely accepted of the [[Writings of Paxism]], the ''Ichtmar''. In the late 10th century BCE, [[Suleiman of Yehudah]] commissioned Jerome of Damaclion to consolidate texts that emerged after the ''Ichtmar'' into a single text known as the ''Vagumar'', which was adopted by the Council of [[Adrien]].
King Obed II of [[Bingol]] added to the ''Vagumar'' through Writings known as the ''Haagemar'' which led to the invasion of his kingdom by [[Iktan the Devout]] who founded the [[Iktanite dynasty]] and [[Packilvania]]. Prophet Ipstit from the [[Alva|Alvan Empire]] travelled to Packilvania where he combined [[Ayalism|Ayalist]] beliefs with Paxism in a writing known as the ''Mahimavan Agripurana''. [[Melkezedek the Great]] commissioned the ''Bas Magdamar'' which established the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] and closed the canon of Paxist scripture.
Different Paxist sects follow different texts. Broadly speaking, they agree that [[Noi]] is the creator of the universe and all that are in it. She created the [[Esma]] (spiritual beings) and [[Species|sentient beings]]. An Esma by the name of Borg wanted to be worshiped as she was and so led the sentient beings of Urth and some Esma away. She endowed [[Pax]] with great power to defeat him and seal him behind a metaphysical prison known as the Jovian Gate, which is believed to be under the [[Memorial of the Jovian Gate]] in [[Akas Akil]], the oldest and most sacred site of Paxism. Paxists believed that the spirits of sentient beings will return to Noi and become part of Her Hivemind after death if they follow [[Assimilation]] (ritual and moral philosophy of Paxism, the highest path of which is [[Martyrdom in Paxism|martyrdom]]).
For most Paxists, the highest temporal religious leader is the [[Supreme Magister]] currently [[Tawak VII]]. The oldest clerical offices in Paxism are the propherhood (which is practically moribund) and [[Priesthood in Paxism|priesthood]]. Paxism is the state religion of [[Packilvania]] and [[Drakkengard]], and it is a minority religion in other countries such as [[Free Pax States]]. It has over 1 billion adherents (who are concentrated in Packilvania), making it the biggest religion in the world.
