Paxism: Difference between revisions

 

==History==

It is a primordial religion, meaning that it was not formally established by anyone. Instead it arose from the folklore and beliefs of the prehistoric tribes of Yasteria. Over time, through the advent of agricultural societies and writing, stories that were passed down orally became written down, consolidated and unified and various sects emerged. The first written recording of the story of Noi was by Prophet Besmali of Akas Akil know as the ''Ichtmar'' around 2036 BCE. He was persecuted for his beliefs by his contemporaries but over time they propagated and became the foundation of later writings and sects of Paxism.

 

 

Around 740 CE, the Prophet Ipsit, a traveller who crossed from modern day Suvania to Central Yasteria in order to better understand the world, returned 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 torturers. The followers of Ipsit wrote what was to become the ''Mahimavan Agranirupana'', compiling the interpretations of Paxism made by Ipsit in a prophetic text referring to their theorized cycle of Urth. This belief spread across the nomadic hordes of Western Yasteria, competing with [[Ayalism]] in the region.

As the Iktanite dynasty spread over Yasteria and met other races, their beliefs and traditions influenced Paxism. This contamination led to Iktanite King Melkezedek calling for a council of scholars and religious leaders known as the Council of Bingol around 980 CE to establish the most authoritative writing of Paxism known as the ''Bas Magdamar'' (which built on the ''Vagumar'') whereupon he established the [[Magisterium of Paxism|Magisterium]]. The Yehudite sect was divided by those who followed the original Vagumar and those who followed the new ''Bas Magdamar'', leading to the formation of the Melkezedekite sect.
