Vaikan religions

There are many Dhragolon religions, but the most popular is Jamzezism which involves the belief in a single God known as "Kray", which also translates to Wilrite, Sporr, or Macksis in other Dhragolon languages. Although originally conceived during the Second Era in modern-day Yallvus, many variations of the religion have diverged among the Dhragolon. Such variations differ in Kray's views of the Dhragolon people.

Creation Myth
Some believe that Kray created the first Dhragolon, told them their destiny and left the universe to run on its own while others thought that Kray controlled every action of the universe and planned everything out from the start. In the Neo-Renyanist version, (the most dominant one and most scientifically compatible) it is generally accepted that Kray did not actually create the Dhragolon themselves, but instead in the form of a dragon perched atop Ucharpli's tallest mountain and let out a roar of wisdom, granting intelligence and free will to the Dhragolon. It is also widely believed that Kray flew to other worlds to grant the same intelligence to other races.

In Jamzezism, it is believed that there also exists a demon named Uszaroth (pronounced Oo-sah-roth). This demon is said to once have been a servant of Kray, but was banished due to his differing ideologies. Uszaroth believed that the Dhragolon should not follow any rules and live lives of anarchy. Thus, around the time Jamzeze first spread the word of Kray, Uszaroth had plans of his own and created the religion of Uszarothian.

Ideologies
Jamzezism teaches that balance in the universe must be maintained through peace. If the balance is upset, it is the duty of a Dhragolon to restore such peace whether it be aggressively or not. It is highly debated whether evil should exist or not. Some variations claim that all evil should be wiped out, while others believe that it exists as a counterbalance to good.

Jamzezists respect other religions as they still believe that Kray is being worshipped in another form. However, the worship of false idols is not tolerated as well as religions and philosophies that violate the major Commandments of Kray. Even the Uszarothian religion is allowed, because it is believed that a balance between order and chaos must be maintained, although Uszarothians are few in number.

Shortly after Dralla's expeditions, Renya Aknar, a descendant of Renya Tarkith, founded the branch of Jamzezism which he called Neo-Renyanism. The philosophy asserted that the Dhragolon should be more aggressive in suppressing evil. The religion is also what officially made the Dhragolon the holy knight archetype which by coincidence was at the beginnning of the Space Age.

Many times throughout history, the Dhragolon encountered empires of pure evil, and declared them tainted for violating their Commandments. When a race is declared tainted, the Order and Balance Branch performs a short ritual where the judge recites a sentence condemning the specific race to be tainted. Saying these words lays a curse upon that entire race; other aliens will get a feeling of fear and unrest when they look at the tainted race. This is why many races fear the Grox, especially after the Dhragolon declared them tainted.

Some also debate the exact existence of the "pure" race, or Khazakion. Some believe it is the only other race in the galaxy besides the Dhragolon that will survive a massive crusade against evil. More modern beliefs regard the Khazakion as the concept of a pure, innocent people. Today, the term Khazakion has evolved to become the Dhragolon word for a strong ally with good intentions. For example, the Karnasaur Meritocratic Federation and the Eteno Imperial Triumvirate would be referred to as among the Khazakion.

After Life
When a Dhragolon dies, their soul is released from the body. They will not be able to move on until their last wish is fulfilled or until the damage done by any sins they have committed during life have been undone. Upon fulfillment of their last wish, they live an eternal life in Kray's Realm. In its raw form, the world is merely a blue sky with clouds, but it takes the shape of a paradise to the Dhragolon's desire. It consists of their happiest and most glorius memories.

If a soul remains in the mortal world for too long, it starts to become tormented reliving the worst moments of their lives over and over again. The Dhragolon make sure that any soldiers that die will do so honorably to prevent this terrible fate.

Also, in Jamzezism, there is believed to be a parallel dimension known as the Infernal Nether, a firey world where sinners live forever as tormented souls. Only the truly evil will ever go here. The moon, Athen, is said to be part of the dimension somehow. Subsequently, the opposite realm known as Kray's Realm is said to be the location where souls rest in peace. It is a paradise which takes the form of an individual's desire.

Prophets
A list of important figures in Jamzezist history. Currently incomplete.

Jamzeze - A middle aged Dhragolon traveller who met an old man lost in what is now Kray's Sculpting Field. He is credited as the founder of the religion itself.

Renya Tarkith - A high priest from the early Third Era who directly served Altus Malick, suggesting the concept of bringing order to the Dhragolon to achieve peace.

Renya Aknar - A high priest who originally served Altus Banya, but was spared during the Yallvus Revolution and served Rustiagon Dralla. After Dralla's discoveries of evil empires, Renya had an epiphany regarding the Dhragolon's destiny bringing about the most dominant Jamzezism variation.

Jamzezism Variations

 * Nolaranism- Belief that Nolara symbolizes the rebirth of the Dhragolon.


 * Aravaldism- Belief that the Dhragolon should unite every peaceful race.


 * Purism- The Commandments and the Book of Kray are interpreted literally, and are the set in stone words of Kray.


 * Renyanism- Belief that order must be imposed upon all Dhragolon in order to destroy evil.


 * Neo-Renyanism- Belief that the Dhragolon are destined to destroy all evil in the galaxy.

Other Religions

 * Uszarothian- Although Uszaroth is not per se worshipped as a god, he is considered a leader to his followers, much like Jamzeze was to his. Causing trouble and chaos are encouraged. In fact, the rules to being an Uszarothian are not written down. Generally, an Uszarothian tends to cause distress to others to provoke an emotional response. Despite their willingness to cause trouble, they are considered a nuisance by the Yallvusian government and generally only take action against them if they break any laws.
 * Majite- A religion unique to the province of Feurcy, Majites follow a god known as Maj, a god of well-being and health. Feurcians believe that Maj gave them the ability to manipulate enery to accomplish tasks. In the olden Dhragolon days, the Feurcians practices were considered sorcery, though a scientific explanation has been found on how they do it. It is highly debated whether Maj and Kray are the same or two separate entities.
 * Ucharplism - An old religion of the Parian Dhragolon which worships the planet itself as the giver of life.
 * Khather - A polytheistic religion similar to that of the Norse. The god Levenslang in Khather religion is generally regarded as analagous to Kray.

Commandments of Kray
The Dhragolon abide by some laws which were formed both from their religion and their government which are as follows. These commandments also serve as the constitution for the Dhragolon.

Major Commandments

"No Dhragolon shall ever worship false gods." (This only applies to false idols.)

"No Dhragolon shall ever kill one another without good cause."

"No Dhragolon shall ever lie without good cause."

"All Dhragolon must respect the spirit of fighting from another race until that race violates the Commandments."

''"No Dhragolon shall ever destroy innocent life in the process of destroying evil." ''(Innocent life refers to nonsentient species.)

''"No world shall ever be destroyed before its natural apocalypse." ''(In other words, don't destroy planets.)

"No Dhragolon may threaten another without good cause."

"No Dhragolon may slander about one another."

"All Dhragolon must respect the rulings of the monarch provided he is not corrupted."

"If another alien race violates a major commandment, they shall be declared tainted." (The race is only delcared tainted if the entire race violates the commandments rather than just one individual as the Dhragolon understand that even the purest of races have imperfections.)

The Newest Commandment: "The Grox are no longer valiant warriors after destroying the verdant world of Morta; the Grox are the cause of all evil in the galaxy and must be destroyed along with all other tainted races."
