Tapashina - Ideology of the Void

== Origins - Pfana ==
Pfana was a world similar to Rathnir, maybe it was an alternate version. Nations, gods, wars and species were all very similar to the ones in Rathnir. Although, the people of Pfana found something out that caused the end of their world. An ideology that would break their world into two. Whilst searching underground for gold, a commoner came across a thing. It was the Void. Panicked, he went back to his city to tell others of this new god encounter. The god had told them something, something that started the Hellfire of Pfana. Whatever it was, it tore the world into two. Void and Anti-Void. Eventually, the Anti-Void supporters tried to kill Void, and then caused the end of Pfana. A wasteland, inhabitable forevermore. All the gods had died, and almost nobody was left alive. Void was no more, but neither was their world. That one idea, that simple theory was what caused the world to die. Whatever they knew about Void, they really wanted it dead.
After this, a religion evolved around what the Void was. Was it the creator of Pfana? Was it simply the creator of everything? Creator of the gods?
The current surviving form of the religion, Void was the creator of gods, although Void wasn’t an entity, or one thing. He was everything. Everything is Void. If people believed in a god, it existed, as Void was the creator of the gods. Some even say Void willed itself into existence the moment somebody in Pfana thought of it, therefore creating all the gods along with it. How, you may ask? Simply, Void creates these gods because people believe in them. 
It is thought that Void is two parts:
The first and original is the being that was seen in the mines, which is now dead.
And the second part is its essence, and once the original Void was killed, it seeped into the other worlds, creating the gods that they had believed in. Void Essence explains Rathnirs gods, how they exist and how they are created. Whatever the Pfanans knew about Void, it was what caused their world to die. That is the Tapashinan goal, to stop the war that wipes worlds away, even if that means ending themselves to save the world.
===Current Day Tapashina===
The Tapashina Ideology has only a few supporters, who deemed themselves the Chosen, and state they will sacrifice themselves to stop Void from corrupting and destroying Rathnir.
"History will not repeat itself, today or the remaining days. Not like what happened to Pfana. Rebaga mogo ka zhiba!" - Tazhi San (Zonering)
===Location===
Tapashina is only found in one city called Norvos, and is not recognized as an official religion.
===Other Information===
Tapashinans follow one tradition, which is to murder any Void supporters on sight. Their reasons behind this are, "To stop history repeating itself." and stopping the destruction of Rathnir. 
Tapashina isn't technically a religion, it is an ideology. All believers usually have another religion that goes along with Tapashina, similar to how Chinese religions are optional. Tapashinans call this a 'Buffet', as you can choose what religions you believe in. Religions that worship any Void figure are not allowed and are looked down on by Tapashinans.
