Paxism is a monotheistic religion that originated in Yasteria. It was founded by Prophet Besmali around the 2nd millennium BCE who wrote the Ichtmar, the first and most universally accepted writing of Paxism, which was compiled into the Vagumar in the 10th century BCE at the direction of Suleimann of Yehudah. Paxists believe that Noi is the creator of the universe and its inhabitants, including the Esma and sapient life. However, an Esma called Borg envied Noi and led the sentient beings and some Esma astray. In response, Noi endowed a man named Pax, with great power to defeat Borg and seal him under the Jovian Gate. Paxists believe that by following assimilation, the religion's core teachings, they will be able to return to Noi and join Her Hivemind after death. For most Paxists, the highest religious authority is the Supreme Magister, currently Tawak VII. The Magisterium governs Paxist religious affairs and the canon law of Paxism. Paxism is the state religion of Packilvania and Drakkengard, and has over one billion adherents, making it the biggest religion in the world. (Full article...)
