Duhmari

Duhmari, otherwise known as the Found Gods or Seve'Sdahrsi, is an ancient Zonrazeh polytheistic faith centered around the worship of several dieties, it evolved from Najer Mythology. The most known among them being the Zond, though there being also the Solar, Lunar & Dream dieties, known respectively as Ashan, Krisash & Mayasheo. It has no hierarchy apart from sages scattered across villages and those who listen to them, there have been various attempts at creating a holy book, though the main pillar of the religion continues being oral storytelling.
Due to the oral nature of the religion, it is poorly documented and thus mostly unknown to those outside of Zonrazeh & Asren.
The religion is endemic to the Najer-Originating peoples.
== Brahtma ==
Brahtma is a pivotal event in Dwumahri, as it is the chain that starts everything, and it enforces the belief of the Zonrazeh that to thrive one must cooperate.
Before everything, there was one God, he was known as the Found God, though he got bored, and thus created humans. Though these humans needed goals and failures, so he created Ashan from his Hand, to heighten them as they shined from the sun's light, and Krisash from his hair to humble them during the nights where they could not see. The humans survived during these times, celebrating every 5th year in the honour of the Gods, though they lacked dreams, and a wish to do more, at the time these humans just ate, slept and walked, nothing else. Thus, The Found God created Mayasheo, to give them dreams.
== Second Jahan ==
The Second Jahan enforces the belief of the Zonrazeh that one must compromise in order to ensure the happiness of all.
After 500,000 years of the Three Gods' Rule, they started growing weary of eachother, Ashan wanted to shine through both day and night, Krisash wanted to darken the earth in a mellow light and Mayasheo wanted it to forever be Dawn & Dusk. Unable to resolve their problems, they went to the Found God, who by now was not long for this world, the Found God, as a solution, decided to retrieve his heart, and birth a new diety, this new diety, full of love, would be known as the Zond, the three gods would now approach Zond, asking him for a solution, for which he created eclipses, where both Ashan could shine bright, and Krisash could keep the dark. This marks the solidifcation of Zond as a diety, and now every eclipse is celebrated in the honour of this compromise.
== Ijajanajwe ==
Ijajanajwe enforces the belief of the Zonrazeh that nothing lasts forever and letting go can bring better things.
150,000 years after Zond's creation, the Found God decides that he has done his job well and that he is ready to die. With this, he invites the Four Gods to his Palace in Mount Fedakheen, and he tells him that it's time that he resigns of this world. He thanks them for all he has done and asks Zond to succeed him in the coordination of the gods and making sure they are all happy. After saying such, The Found God would stab his arm, letting blood flow, and as the blood turned into water, it'd flow down the mountain and fill the valleys, purifying them and as the water settles, a river is created, this is what we would now known as the Sarmooj.
== Samujaha ==
Samujaha enforces the belief of the Zonrazeh that bad spirits exist, but that good will prevail.
With the death of the Found God, the evil spirits would try invading our world again, they would fight hard in the spiritual world, as Ashan and Krisash would even be knocked out during the battle, leaving red skies. Humans growing wary, and thus would decide to take up arms against the spirits, they'd ally with Mayasheo who'd give them the ability to enter the spirit realm, as they'd now arm themselves with sticks and start attacking bad spirits, thousands would die, however hope would be achieved, as the bad spirits were kicked out of our world and Ashan and Krisash would be reawoken, Zond would bless the Zonrazeh for their achievements in battle kicking out the spirits.
It is said that every time the skies grow red, orange and things like such it is Ashan and Krisash thanking the humans for saving them during Samujaha.

== Gods ==
=== Ashan, God of the Sun, Prosperity & Festivals ===
Ashan was the firstborn of the Found God, and thus is referred usually as either the First God or the Sun God, if not due to Zond's help, he is in eternal rivalry with his counterpart, the Moon Goddess, Krisash. Legend tells he showed the Zonrazeh how to dance for the first time in their existence by rhythmically moving his sunrays across the sky. Apart from his sun appearance, he shows himself as a flying red scorching bird holding a crook and a flail in either of his hands. He is usually known as the most present god, giving he is the day and the sunrays.
=== Krisash, Goddess of the Moon, Modesty & Goodwill ===
Krisash was the secondborn of the Found God, she is usually referred to as either the Sister God due to her being the only female diety or as the Moon God, if not due to Zond's help, she'd be in eternal rivalry with her counterpart, the Sun God. Legend says she created camels as a gift to the Zonrazeh for the first time by using her craters as inspiration for the camel's hoofs and her demeanor for the camel's serenity. Camels were originally bald though she found out they were cold in the night, and thus gave them hair. This is why camels inside the belly are hairless. She's usually known as the most poetic God, giving humans wisdom.
=== Mayasheso, God of Dreams, Wisdom & Luck ===
Mayasheso is the thirdborn of the Found God, they're usually referred to as the God of Dreams or the Veiled God, due to their face being prohibited from showing. He is the one who gave the Zonrazeh hope and dreams. It is said he's the reason for the existence of desert mirages, as he tries to create them to save you though during his worrying he forgets that he can only control things in the spirit world, and not in the human world, they're usually known as the most empathetic God towards humans.
=== Zond, God of Connections & the Zonrazeh ===
Zond is the lastborn of the Found God, he was created as a bridge between Gods & Humans aswell as to help the cooperation of Gods, he is credited with the creation of eclipses aswell as the survival of the Zonrazeh during their hardest hours.
=== Menkhur, God of the Sands, Nomads & Time ===
Menkhur, otherwise known as Menkauhor is an observant god, typically depicted as a mirage of a lantern watching everything as it unravels without actually taking part in it, due to this he is usually referred to just as the Duneman. He is responsible for the Lingering Desert and views Nomads as his children, being the God in charge of having things being finite, myths surrounding him typically describe a grand library hidden under the desert containing infinite knowledge of every human in every era
It is said that every time a person is destined for greatness, a lantern in the Library lights up.
=== Lesser Spirits ===
There are hundreds of lesser spirits, created by the Ijajanajwe, they are divided into two categories, the Good Spirits and the Bad Spirits, known as Teejim (This division is known as Surj, deriving from Surakhej, meaning division.) They have differing goals, and while some serve as minions others have their own special interests, at times colliding with Human or God's interests, this creating what is commonly known as Spirit Wars (Halajim) where Zonrazeh Pomseshos get togheter to perform rituals to get rid of the bad spirits.
== Celebrations ==
=== Jaleem ===
Jaleem means eclipse, it's the day dedicated to Zond's birth & his first act as divine being, it is typically done in familial settings where the members tell stories and projects to eachother as they feast. 30 sheep's bones are sacrificed during the process at the Prophecy temple in an act of good willing towards Zond, showing they are willing to give things to the Gods in exchange for nothing.
=== Kogahs ===
Kogahs is where the tribe comes togheter with hundreds of dye to throw eachother, it is of the most liked events by youngsters. Cities typically prepare for the events by decorating the roofs and murals with paintings and flags of everything and anything, in an attempt to make it as bright as possible. It is meant to do two things; both remember the first Halajim where the Zonrazeh helped Krisash and Ashan against the Teejim aswell as scare away remaining evil spirits by reminding them of how the Zonrazeh can fight back.
=== Ahmodja ===
Ahmodja means Happy-Gifts, every ten years communities come togheter and gift eachother valuable things. This is done to remember Brahtma, as giving things and sharing is cooperation.
== History ==
Upon the blip, the Najer peoples began roaming the deserts, holding dear to their practices of belief in the various Gods of the Najer Pantheon, this was, however, t'ill the Thousand-Year-Old leader of the Zonrazeh, Arminoso, had a revelation during a dream talking of a certain Verjah, teaching him a differing way of the contemporary ways, and thus he converted, and with his conversion, soon followed the rest of the tribes over a lengthy three-hundred-and-something-year-old period, marking the death of the religion.
Though the wind and rain may weather Rathnir away, Though Time will outlast even the final day, Though immortality may betray; No change can forever stay -StarSixSevenThe religion started fading away through the sands of time, with sandstorms, earthquakes & the loss of memories started taking their toll, as only Arminoso, the eternal phoenix aswell as ruins were what remained.
This was, however, t'ill one day Arminoso, after 600 years of keeping this knowledge to himself, told the story to his infant son, of how in that old Najer, they worshipped different gods, those of Mayasesho and many others. He'd explain the mythology and such to his son, the beauty of these words affecting him so much he'd convert back to Dwumahr, the first believer in 632 years, to learn more, contact was remade with the last other Najer Remnant in the world, Asren. Through the tales For tonight i lay here; in lands so Foreign.. Where words are but scribbles on a page, my heart beats softly of a home so far (Najer) yet so Near.
Lost to time, Remade Here -The Wanderer (Najer Poem 2021 by StarSixSeven)of Asren aswell as diggings Diggings behind the Prophecy Temple in Zondamahthe religion became found again, first discovered being Mayasesho, then Ashan, then Krisash and finally Zond was pieced in togheter, with this, came a Religous Renaissance known as the Seve Sdahrsi, as the small revived community, though granted they'd never reach the splendor of the larger religions, They still began construction of various temples dedicated to the Gods.
Part of what furthered the Seve Sdahrsi was the arrival of the Second Samujaha, where Teejims, angered by their lack of worshippers, took arms, crossing the spiritual world and arriving into Osooproo, terrorising it as everyone would be forced to leave, militias & civilians from around the Sarmooj River would travel to Osooproo in an attempt to defeat the Teejim Menace, and while they'd end up succesful, managing to repel the spirits by Jensor, the town would be turned into a desolate ruin of what it once was, as many Zonrazeh would learn that one should not mess with the spirits, under fear of the God's wrath.
In 19 AAH, during a pilgrimage towards Radha, in the Mekjat, a Wanderfarer (term used to describe pilgrims) would notice the town to be empty, checking each and every house though it'd be completely empty, due to the isolation of the city, no foreigner had made contact with the city since 11 AAH and the people's whereabouts would be unknown. Because of this, Kafoosali, not wanting the town to fall into ruin, would invite the Beru into town as the revival of Radha would begin.
During this time, a temple in the mountain would begin construction under the pretext of it being for royal weddings.
