Line 20:

Following the formation of the [[Alva|Alvan Empire]], the Ipsitites declined in influence in their region at the benefit of [[Ayalism]], the sect being almost entirely isolated within modern day Suvania, experiencing further decline under the repression of a string of rulers intolerant to their religion.

[[File:Beliefs of Paxism.png|thumb|An overview of the beliefs of Paxism]]

Noi created the [[Urth]] and everything in it. She created the Esma to help her and be her companions. One of her most beloved Esma was Borg. Borg became envious of her and corrupted her creation. Noi was aggrieved by the evil in the world and turned away from the Urth. Borg was left to spread darkness and rule over the Urth. When people died, he trapped them in the Goo where they suffered in eternal torment. There was only one mortal in the entire Urth who still loved Noi and that was the Pax. The Pax was captured by people who wanted him to perform evil deeds, when he refused they tortured him. He cried out to Noi. She rescued him. Seeing the goodness in his heart, she gave him the power to defeat Borg. He fought against Borg and defeated him. He trapped Borg behind the Jovian Gate where he remains for all eternity. The souls of the people trapped in the Goo were set free. Those who repented and loved Noi joined the Hive. Those who love evil and worshiped Borg remained in The Goo. Yet the shadow of Borg still lingers and causes evil in the world. Paxists believe that when people die they either go to the Goo or the Hive. They believe that one day the Borg will escape from the Jovian Gate. The Pax will destroy the Borg once and for all and all souls will join the Hive and there will be peace on Urth forever more. Paxist spend their lives preparing for the Coming Day and striving to join the Hive.

Line 172:

* The Temple of Victory over Paganism is located at the Mausoleum of Iktan the Devout to commemorate the defeat of King Obed III of Bingol. It is regarded as important by Madvinists and Sohadekist but Obedists regard it as an effrontery of the highest order and they are forbidden from ever visiting it. Their High Priest cursed the site as evil.

* The Temple of the Defeat of Atheism was built by Sultan [[Amhoud I]] in Adrien at the site where he was crowned to commemorate his defeat of the Packilvanian Communist Party and the restoration of Paxist rule over Packilvania. Madvinists consider it a sacred site and other sects believe it is of some value because they value the restoration of Paxism. However, all other sects have complaints about the self-aggrandisation of the [[Bedonite dynasty]] and its rule over Packilvania that lead them to disregard the supposed holy status of the Temple that Amhoud wanted it to convey instead considering it a temple like any other.

== Jurisprudent (''Shureeh'') ==

Paxist jurisprudence known as ''Shureeh'' refers to the body of religious law (''leKhanon aPaxashme'') of Paxism. It consists of Bulls (''Fataw'') which are issued and recognised by the Magisterium of Paxism. These bulls are regarded as binding interpretations of scripture arising from scholarly research and exegesis of the [[Writings of Paxism]]. Bulls are required to be peer reviewed and must be issued by a recognised Magister. They can be revoked by the same Magister or by a higher ranked Magister. Paxist jurisprudence entails both substantive and procedural law.

This jurisprudence covers all areas of law. They can cover the appointment and dismissal of clerics, the proper execution of religious rituals, the enforcement of practices and the interpretation of beliefs. A Magister is authorised to judge religious disputes however in Packilvania a court system exists whereby only Magisters appointed by the Sultan or in line with Packilvanian statute. In Packilvania there are Religious Courts and Religious Appeals where the latter receives appeals for religious issues and the former are responsible for trials and dispute resolution.
