Jamzezism

Jamzezism is the religion officially endorsed by the Federal Monarchy of Allied Sovereign Nations.

Those within FMASN are granted to tax exemptions and additional freedoms for following Jamzezism.

The Pantheon
These are a list of gods acknowledged in the Jamzezist religion.


 * Looma - Looma is the god that created the universe. Jamzezists believe that he is very weak due to all the energy he expended creating the universe. As a result, Looma has no true form.
 * Ema - Ema is said to be the mother of all life. She is depicted as an impossibly beautiful Vaikan woman with four arms and purple skin.  She also wears a brightly colored silk dress which FMASN queens and nobles model their attire after.  Ema is considered the goddess of leadership and power.
 * Saskana - A beast with the face of a lion. As the watcher of animals, he was the first creature birthed by Ema.  Saskana once had two other heads until they split off from him to eventually become Krayhan and Morduin.
 * Krayhan - Krayhan is a featherless Yoltox said to have brought wisdom and knowledge to all. He is often hailed as a chief deity and the epitome of objective thinking and logic.
 * Morduin - Morduin, or the dark Yoltox, is the antithesis of Krayhan, an embodiment of chaos and emotion. Yoltox sports filamentous feathers, much like a real Yoltox.
 * Akabar - Akabar is the mindless, formless embodiment of death and destruction. It is believed that at the end of time, he will devour the universe.

Creation myth
Jamzezists believe that the universe repeats an endless cycle of creation and destruction. There is no definite beginning and there is no end, only cycle after cycle. However, each universe is different from the last.

When Akabar destroyed the last universe, Looma returned to full strength, and continued the universe and created new laws to govern it. With a flash of light, cosmic energy flowed in all directions, thus creating the stars and the planets. This universe was lifeless until from the chaos emerged an egg. From that egg hatched a beautiful creature named Ema.

Wishing to populate the universe with life, Ema gave birth to Saskana, a beast with three heads - the faces of a lizard, lion and falcon analogues to creatures on Ucharpli. Ema would later give birth to all the other creatures to inhabit the universe and Saskana was tasked to look after them.

Eventually, Ema gave birth to twin children named Bor and Si. They were a new species known as Vaikan, and were said to be gifted with being vessels for powerful celestial entities called souls. Saskana's heads debated with one another, trying to figure out if the Vaikan were truly something that should have a place in the universe.

Eventually, two of the heads split off, being opposites of one another. The lizard head split off to become Morduin while the falcon head became Krayhan. The middle head of Saskana remained.

Krayhan and Morduin then spent the next few millenia competing to spread their influence to the Vaikan. Krayhan bestowed the Vaikan wisdom and knowledge, while Morduin bestowed the Vaikan emotion.

Being frustrated with the violence, he curled up into a rock and rammed himself against the planet Ucharpli and putting it in an ice age. After Saskana crashed into the earth, he descended underground to wait at the planet's core, continuing his job as before, yet vowing that if the balance is upset, he will return to the surface and cover the world in lava.

After Life
When a Vaikan 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 or if they are a soldier, they need to be avenged. Upon fulfillment of their last wish, they live an eternal life in Himinngarde.

Himinngarde consists of a great snowy mountain with a longhall at the base. Perished Vaikan warriors who died honorably will dine here and enjoy a good drink until an event known as the Final Battle will take place.
