Dih'haakins of Garfien

Dih'haakins of Garfien, meaning "The judges of Garfield" also known as Dih'haakism or Neo-Garfism and previously known as the Order of the Righteous Paw is a monotheistic faith believed by descendants of Revelationist Garfists from Rathnir, who immigrated to Abexilas. Mainly practised in the city of Kamtargaa within the Ashkavari Korqoriat. The faith vows to defend knowledge, the world and its dormant God from the corruptions of evil. The faith received a realisation after the sacrifice of Saint Peppino, which shinned a light on the dangers of the world to the faithful, fueling the foundation of Dih'haakins of Garfien.
==Literature==
Many of the lessons of the faith are taught by tongue coming from quotes, proverbs, and speeches, though some may be written in books. One of the major proverbs which describes major points on the faith was said by Haakindhar Morn:
Other proverbs can be found on the Dih'haakist literature archives.
== Order's deity and hierarchy ==
=== Forgotten God ===
The Forgotten God is the creator of all, with its existence being remembered by only few who passed the knowledge through the generations. It has a uncomprehensible existence the only known trait is its feline appearance, with of orange color and black stripes. All before it is unknown and all after it is what ever has been. As cited on the Garfism's holy book:
"On the first Monday of the world, The Great Hound, Odie, stole the memory of the one true god, the Forgotten God, from the memories of man."
Since after it remained locked on the realm of Rathnir with its powers ever fading. Eons later the Forgotten God would be fully sealed in Rathnir, with the combined effort the evils in the world, of the same kind of Odie, they striked Rathnir with the old entity of Iristor, freezing the Forgotten God, Rathnir, and Eldham in the way. A small group of believers of the Revelationist Garfism travelled to Abexilas before Iristor froze the world, and those few founded the Order, to defend the dormant Forgotten God among other things, as if the evils in the world take control of Abexilas, the frozen worlds of Rathnir and Eldham would be their next target, where they could corrupting the Forgotten God while its weak, bringing pandemonium to the world.

While for the Garfism the symbol wasn't fully fledged on its meaning it was believed by some to represent the Holy Lasagna on top of the Forgotten God's tail. In the modern faith it too represents the Revelation of Saint Peppino, killed pinned by a golden arrow in a Tael by the coward attack of a evil being, but revealed to the Order the dangers of the evils that lurks within the world.

==History==
===Garfism===
Dih'haakins of Garfien are descendant of the Garfism from Rathnir. They had a direct connection to the Forgotten God, and lived many of their years peacefully, while making art, writing and architecture. Though they acted peacefully the evils in the world schemed against them, soon they put an effort to seal the Forgotten God who was ever so weaker. That effort prompted the Iristor comet, which hit Rathnir, freazing it, the neighboor realm of Eldham, and the Forgotten God.
A small group of Garfists fled to the realm of Abexilas before the comet struck, that group being the Expeditionary Force lead by Morn Humblwod Okrin. 
===Expeditionary Force===
 years ago in 3 BSD, the Expeditionary Force took flight from the city of Greenstem in Rathnir, riding a airship, aboard was many Greenstenis and Felesians, the main Greensteni being Morn Humblwod Okrin and the main Felesian being Peppino Lazan, both represented the last groups of both cities of Greenstem and Felesia, both connected to the Garfism. 
At the time the borders of the realms of Rathnir were open, enabling people to leave that realm into the Soa Holen, a vast wasteland between realms, Abexilas was on the other side of the Soa Holen, as it coordinates had been revealed by Stoneystoner decades prior, so during 2 years the crew of the Expeditionary Force traveled through the wastelands, until they hit a barrier, a fight between an ancient being known as Raúl and the evil giant serpent with six heads, just outside of the realm of Abexilas, the crew named it Serpenty Dhaviva meaning threaded serpent in Semhudi, their language at the time.
During more than a year the ancient being and the serpent fought agaisnt eachother, the battle between both was too dangerous to come close and so the crew waited.
After all that time the beast finally seamed to have been downed, so the crew packed their stuff and took flight, to their surprise the beast wasnt fully dead. The serpent used one of its heads to hit the airship, soon the ancient being Raúl was back fighting against the beast, while the airship crashlanded back in the wasteland. Some days the beast was finally killed, with its flesh being consumed by the ground and the entrace to Abexilas fully open, again the crew took flight.
With the death of serpent a new calendar was coined, starting on the year of the serpent's death names Serpenty Dhaviva Calender. 
As the airship was entering Abexilas, one of its makeshift repairs broke off, forcing the crew to crashland into the nearest land of Iristoya. There they met the kavari people who provided them with land. So the city of Kamtargaa was founded in 1 ASD.
===Evils within the world===
More than three decades had passed since Kamtargaa's foundation, on that time Morn noticed the presence of evils lurking in the shadow.
On 33 ASD a mysterious floating eye entity appeared in Kamtargaa, it says nothing, nor its possible to hit it, the creature only observes, after Morn damned the creature as a spy of the evils within this world, it vanished leaving no trace behind.
A creature of the same kind have been seen in the neighbour city of Thennasus by its mayor Dandalus.
After those sightings, on the same year, the event of the founding of the Order of the Righteous Paw faith was announced to happen on the Spring of 34 ASD.

===Founding of the Faith===
On the Spring of 34 ASD the Foundation event started, with 12 attendees, with the presence of Haroun Kurucan-Qhor the king of Ashkavar.
First the attendees feasted on Lasagna and various drinks, such as Ashkavari Blood Tea and Shark Hunter's Rum, accompanied of some puff. After the small feast everyone sat at their places, Morn then welcomed everyone and started his speech.
====First Speeches====
First Morn introduced his story on how he got there, his childhood in Rathnir with the presence of Greenstenis and Akratians. The death of his father Morfetico Humblewood, and his escape with the Expeditionary Force airship, from the freezing of Rathnir by the Iristor comet. Their travels through the Soa Holen, and the meeting with the fight of Raúl against the Serpenty Dhaviva which was blocking the entrance to Abexilas. Soon then the defeat of the Serpenty Dhaviva and the crashlanding in Iristoya, the meeting with the native Kavari people, and settleing of Kamtargaa. And lastly, his pondering on the Garfism as he saw many other faiths grow near.
Morn then called for Peppino to do his speech, and so he climbed up the scaffolding to be infront of the Tael built for the cerimony.
Up there Peppino shared his story. His origins in the city of Felesia, and his livinghood in the city with Morfetico and Luke Greencoat. Then he talked about the Garfism, his baptizement and the visions he had over the years. His travel to Abexilas as part of the Expeditionary Force. His coma he endured after getting bit by a Dysphalion. The meeting with the Karaqhor of Ashkavar giving him Lasagnas. The meeting with Asli, the girl what would become his wife, and mother of his son Lasagka. Then on the final of his speech he said:"Finally, it’s time to talk about my legacy and how it will continue through my son. He is my first and only child and he will continue my baking legacy by making many different foods. As mentioned earlier we are here to celebrate the founding of the Order of The Righteous Paw.
 I am glad that the generous Ashkavari government was able to give the survivors of the airship a place to call home and I am glad I am a part of managing this place. Kamtargaa is charted to glory, and I know it. The Kamtargari spirit is the ultimate resolution, when peril or struggle appears our chains of spirit will not break or shatter under pressure.
 We will be eternal just as the Forgotten God is. It is with great pleasure that me, my son, and Morn declare the creation of the Order of the Righteous Paw, we noticed the evils corrupting this land, they know the name of the Forgotten God, this realm is a part of an untold story, filled by evil, those of the kind of Odie, demons and false gods, it's our responsibility to fight this evil.Then he said loudly:As in the old world Garf was dethroned, the land went to chaos and cataclysm struck, it's our responsibility to protect land, may the Order judge the fate of the evil, may Garf be the only ever true god, Laz."
====Unwelcome guest====
As Peppino finished his speech a creature appeared floating above the crowd, later its name was revealed to be Aati'radora. it then spoke:"Thy insolent cat, thy profane son inherited my powers and i shall take it back, you are the first one in my way, and so the first to die." Then Aati'radora shot a Golden arrow at Peppino, impaling him into the Tael, Morn asked the creature who he was, but was ignored, soon after Aati'radora summoned horned beasts from the ground, attacking the attendees. Morn then started a battle cry getting every attendee ready for fight, as the attendees fought the horned beasts with hammers, axes, swords and arrows. Then Aati'radora fled to the north, with Morn guiding the attendees to its direction, there they meet more of the horned beasts, while Aati'radora floated above the ground, immune to any attack.
Lasagka, son of Peppino gets late to the event and sees his father impaled by a golden arrow on the Tael, then he too asks Aati'radora who he was, and what have he done with his father, Aati'radora then responded:"Oh my heir, have you fell to the kind promises of this people? you can become even more powerful with my assist, come back to me and my allies, and then we shall rule this world."Then as Lasagka climbed a nearby defence cannon, and started a back and fourth with Aati'radora:Lasagka - "You foul entity, how dare you kill my father and bring chaos to this peaceful land, you shall perish under the fire of my cannon, a fruit of our knowledge."
Aati'radora - "What you gonna do with that hunk of metal 100 times heavier than you? you are not strong enough."
Lasagka - "i might not be powerful enough alone, but the power of our people's knowledge i can be the strongest one, you ask what this hunk of metal is for, its to clean your existence of this world so your foul soul can finally rest, this metal is meant to kill you, die you foul creature of evil"Lasagka then shoot a cannon, passing through Aati'radora's defences and disintegrating it with shear firepower. As Aati'radora died the last of his horned beast perished, and so Morn and Lasagka run to check peppino on the Tael, they gave him a sip of Ashkavari Blood Tea, said to have some healing powers, Peppino then was able to give his last words to Morn and Lasagka as soon Peppino perished.
Peppino on his last words entrusted Lasagka, as the Haakindhar of the Order along side of Morn, trusted Morn as Lasagka's God Father, and shared the recipe of his Lasagna to both of them. Lasagka then said that: "His sacrifice shall not be forgotten, as it provided to us a revelation of the evils in the world."<youtube>kKfA5cPdXTs</youtube>
==== Aftermath ====
Peppino's burial was done on the newly made Saint Peppino's Graveyard, named in his homage, many Kamtargs and Ashkavari atended the burial, some of them giving their Eulogies, such as:
===Bastion Temple of St. Lazan construction===
Construction of a Bastion Temple started on September 1st, 36 ASD. Built around Saint Lazan place of death and named after him, the floor plan was based of a Tael star, with the Tael where St. Lazan died in the middle, tho from a error in the design St. Lazan's Tael ended up off center by one meter, the star shaped foundation was divided in three areas, for each of the families of the oath, with each three having their own gate, ontop of the foundation a tower was to be built based from the design of a Garfism temple made by Morfetico Humblewood, with its structural triangle shapes switching from darker tones to bright oranges, on top of the tower a ron Cast Twin Recoiless Cannon Turret, nicknamed "Okrin" was to be built.
The Bastion fort was designed by Haakindhar Morn, and saw small ammounts of help from Stanislav, Val Sol'oon Diarkes Kandoule, and Haakindhar Lasagka, tho most of the effort was made by Morn.
