Akhirism

Ahkirism is a split religion, having three different sects, though only two active ones. The basic tenets, however remain mostly the same. the religion's beliefs are, in brief, that all other religions are true, however, it is their duty to erase all others, as their god will erase the other pantheons. This superiority complex will lead them to different actions based on the sect.

Beliefs
The religion centers around Akhesir the Godrazer, their single true god. Akhirism is very unique, however, in that it believes the existence of all other religions. They do, however, not believe any of the core tenants of the religions, instead taking an extended pantheon approach. as most religions have the sense of good and evil through their deities, so to does Akhirism, with the concepts of superior and inferior. they believe it is their god who will kill all others, and the physical manifestation of this is that they will destroy all other religions. this is, of course, not a very popular view, and it's radicalism leads to eventual division in its base.

Practices
As an eventual division took place in the religion, its practices differ widely based on which sect you belong to.

First Form


the very first in the religion, First Form focuses on destruction in it's most simple form. As such, the reasoning has been labeled short term. they believe that the destruction of religions is done through force. after a reform, however, they have lost popular support, and live in exile holding feasts for their religion.

Second, Third Form
During a revision by one of the high priests of the religion, the idea of conquest was placed in a more long term perspective. the idea was to centralize power within the church to the high priest, who was the conduit of the Godrazer. after this, instead of going forth and conquering religions the old fashioned way, the new philosophy dictated sticking it in for the long haul, a veritable siege of the other faiths. this required a capitalization on mercantilism and agriculturalist methods, as this would allow more direct control over the supply to the other faiths.

First Form
At the time, there is no known relationships between Fist Form and any other major powers.

Third Form
There are two main relations between Third Form, and other national powers. these include:

Akhriziins
the Akhriziins are a group of mercenaries that became used to the discounts and supplies offered by the Third Forms's mercantile establishment, that they have become a personal mercenary group to the religion. they are a second party, technically independent, but subservient to the church.

Zuffaqou
As the central religion of the nation, Zuffaqou places the church in high regard. As Zuffaqou occupies its holy city as its capital, and is able to provide the faith with the backing it needs to preform its actions, the religion smiles back. In addition, the Zeq and the High Prince have common understandings and get along quite well.
