Religion in Packilvania: Difference between revisions

 

== Paxism ==

 

Paxism originates from [[Packilvania]]. It was an unwritten religion which had many variations and forms. In 2036 BCE, the first attempt at codifying and uniting the religion was spurred by Prophet Besmali who wrote the [[Writings of Paxism|Ichtmar]]. Despite resistance from his contemporaries, his followers continued practicing and proselytising the version of Paxism espoused in his teachings and writings, spreading the religion to other parts of the ancient world. In 1100 BCE, [[Suleiman of Yehudah]], ordered Jerome of Damaclion to compose a second book called the [[Writings of Paxism|Vagumar]] which was a collection of writings from Besmali's followers as well writings from [[Suleiman of Yehudah]] himself. These writings were approved by a council held in the city of [[Adrien]] as a valid religious scripture. In 980 CE, High King [[Melkezedek the Great]] ordered scribes to compose another book because he felt that paganism was creeping into the religion and that a religious government needed to be established to oversee the religion. From this arose the [[Writings of Paxism|Bas Magdamar]]. Not all Paxists ascribed to the version of Paxism that his new book prescribed and they called themselves Yehudists while those who followed Melkezedek called themselves Melkezedekists. Through the political power of Melkezedek and his successors, most of the Yehudists were purged from Packilvania either through pogroms or forcible exile to foreign nations. In 1150 CE, Prophet Sohadek stated that a human would become the highest religious figure of and reunite the realms of Bakil, spawning a primarily humanocentric movement within Melkezedekism known as Sohadekism. It was used by Saidun the Conqueror to reunite Packilvania under a human-dominated government in 1675 CE. In the 1800s, Prophet Madvin, a prominent Magister predicted that a Feline would become Sultan and portended the fall of the human [[Packilvania#Demir Dynasty|Demir dynasty]]. In 1918 CE, the human government was overthrown by the [[Packilvania|Packilvanian Communist Party]] led by [[Gideon Muktan]]. Thus, Paxism lost its special status and faced persecution. Its position as the state religion was restored in 1985 following the end of the Second Packilvanian Civil War by which Sultan [[Amhoud I]] reestablished a Paxist-dominated political system. In part to differentiate himself from the Communists and to reward religious minorities for their contributions, they received special status and protections which they have enjoyed ever since.
