Nochorist Thought

Nochorist Thought was an ancient philosophical thought that was highly prevalent in early Aetherian Imperial society. It was created by Aeron Duvaal, Lunaist High-Priest of Nochor and saint. It's beliefs were that Enderians, by consequence of their heavenly mandate, were to act like examples to the rest of Luna's subjects and had to enforce a moral superiority of the Empire above all other states.
== Origins ==
Nochorist thought found it's origins in the episodes of divine intervention during the birth of Aetherian civilization, and especially the divine mandate granted by Luna. It was created by Aeron Duvaal, who testified having witnessed the "horrors of slavery" and the "depravity of oppression". Though, with less hand in it's creation, there were 3 others priests who helped the High-Priest in this endeavor, two whose names have been lost to time, and the last one being Porkyn Saaruk. The last one was a human, and this is important due to the heavy discrimination against humans during the Chiefdom era. Aeron studied the early holy texts of Lunaism, and was a nationally reknowned scholar.
== Impact ==
This form of thought immediately saw a large cultural impact. Across the nation, nobles, peasants and slaves alike adopted it, though slaves especially supported it. A major abolitionist movement developed in the capital whilst the noblemen of the nation fought in the Imperial Court for reform and the creation of a moral legal code. This never saw effect under after Aeron's death, when Oursi the Great took power, being a devout follower of Nochorist thought and especially, being a former High-Priest, just as Aeron Duvaal was. The result of his ascension to power was the application of this thought, and the creation of a rigid social structure for Enderians. Enderians were now no longer simply the ruling class, but the enforcers of morality as it was and the teachings of Lunaism across the Empire.
During the end of Oursi's reign, he commissioned an imperial legal code whose goal was to write down and centralize all laws of the empire. Unfortunately, he died before it could be finished. This legal code was finished and adopted during Aeyur I's rule, and it held great inspiration from Nochorist Thought.
== Decline ==
Later into Aeyur I's rule, Nochorist Thought saw it's decline.
