Ikkuranism

MINOR INFORMATION
Ikkuranism is a small and repressed religion within Chinika that began to form sometime between 2,000 B.F-1,000 B.F. The initial founders of the religion were Monks who grew discontent with the restraints of Bushada. They felt that Bushada not only locked away the spiritual connections one could find from nature through hierarchical restrictions, but also felt that Bushada was not the direct translation of "The One With Nature and State" but "Ikkura who is with Nature in her State". The Monks believed that the howling winds in the mountains located directly south of Satsuma, was Ikkura herself trying to speak her words of peace and wisdom to the monks. As such the Monks based much of their operations out of the mountains, which would eventually garner the name "The Ikkuran Mountains". 
Ikkuranism mainly preached the following:
* Harmony with nature above all else, even the State or Money.
* Duty to Ikkura and her love above all else.
* Harmony above the constraints of titles.
* Inner peace with those of kin, friends, and the soul.
* Spread her word through peace, defend her word through the sword.
Immediately upon its inception Ikkuranism was seen as a threat by the higher nobility of Chinika. Bushada had enabled the rulers of Chinika to be seen as divine entities, which allowed them to rule mostly unopposed by their subjects. While Ikkuranism was not banned outright throughout Chinika the various rulers of Chinika, and eventually The Emperor himself, outright banned the construction of Ikkuran Temples, the ownership of Ikkuran Books and Religious items, and the enforcement of strict "hush" policies against the religion. Ikkuranism was seen as a threat to the social and political hierarchy of Chinika, with its practices calling for greater loyalty to Ikkura rather than the various Nashiks and Emperor's of Chinika.
This repression of Ikkuranism would result in the Ikkuran Rebellion in 866 B.F. The rebellion lasted for two years and was brutally stamped out by The Empire of Chinika in 868 B.F. Following the end of the rebellion the Chinikan Empire conducted a near total genocide on the followers of Ikkura, and completely outlawed the practice of Ikkuranism. Those who survived fled deeper into the most remote regions of The Ikkuran mountains, where small pockets of the religions followers would continue to survive in relative peace for several hundred years.
