Astrakinosha

Astrakinosha is the faith of the south-east of Isaevi, most notably the former Kingdom of Shanaxtra of which the Monarch claimed divine authority. When the Isaevi Imperium's first incarnation claimed total authority of the Solus Afrimoahat faith, uniting all divisons under a single god, the eastern isaevine people could not bring themselves to convert. Instead of a single monotheistic god, the Astrakinosha deities are twins, some believe these twins to be the moons orbiting the planet while the mainstream belief is that the stars themselves are the children of these two deities.
The central tennants of the faith are reverence of starlight, and protecting the 'land of the stars', namely the Kingdom of Shanaxtra's de jure sovereign land. The faith internationally is viewed as the former monarch's attempt to solidify his own authority and makes sure that any invaders had a harder time subduing the population.
The modern conception of the faith is in a state of revival, the Kingdoms of Belaxtra and Shanaei use the faith to justify their claims on the Upper Colonies which again causes the international community to view the faith as nothing more than very subtle propaganda, which despite being morally wrong, worked well for the Isaevi Imperium.
