|  | Faith in Zahkara
« Thread Started on Jan 30, 2007, 8:58am » | |
All enlightened Zakharans, no matter what how they worship, share a common belief in Fate, the Loregiver, and the Grand Caliph.
Fate is the natural force that decides the future of every man or woman.
The Loregiver was the woman who originally wrote down and defined the Law that is directed by that natural force.
The Grand Caliph is the ruler of Zakhara. He is the direct descendant of the first Grand Caliph, who brought forth the Law, as described by the Loregiver and defined by Fate, to the people of Zakhara.
Zahkaran deities and their ethos:
Hajama the courageous: "Bravery wins over opposition".
Hakiyah of the Sea Breezes: "Truth will always win out".
Haku, Master of the Desert Wind: "A man and a woman must be free to be considered alive".
Jauhar the Gemmed: "Money changes everything".
Jisan of the Floods: "Hard work brings abundance".
Kor the Venerable: "With age comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes strength".
Najm the Adventurous: "Make the Unknown known".
Selan the Beautiful Moon: "There is beauty in everything".
Zann the Learned: "Understanding is the key to all doors".
There are other faiths, variations on these faiths, and extremes of these faiths. For example, the Everlasting are a cadre of assassins devoted to the worship of Hajama, and strike down all who they believe do not live up to the deity's standards of bravery and fortitude. Members of the Pantheist League persecutes those that do not worship Hajama, Jauhar, Kor, Najm and Selan.
Then there are priests who worships idols; there is The Temple of Ten Thousand Gods, who worship absolutely ALL deities; there are thousands of local gods, Savage Gods, Elemental gods, Ajami gods and others.
