Nah'aarian Brotherhood

## The Nah'aarian Brotherhood

##### The Awakening of the First Disciple

The origin of the Nah'aarian Brotherhood can be traced back to a momentous event when the first disciple, a nomadic wanderer named Y'kesh [ˈiːkɛʃ], experienced a divine revelation while meditating at the peak of a towering sand dune on Xeraxis. An old inscription in the Dunessh of Nah'aar in the capital of Xeraxis reads:

>
>
> "*Behold the twilight's gentle hold,*
> *Where Naheaa's golden orb descends, let it be told,*
>
> *Nah'aar's divine light merges with soul's fair thread,*
>
> *Veil betwixt worlds unravels, truths once dread.*
>
>
>
> *A vision profound unfolds 'pon Y'kesh's sight,*
>
> *Nah'aar, resplendent in radiant light,*
>
> *Bestows warmth and wisdom, mysteries unfurled,*
>
> *Unveiling sacred truths to shape a new world.*
>
>
>
> *As last rays of Naheaa's light take leave,*
>
> *Y'kesh emerges, reborn, a purpose to achieve.*
>
>
>
> *With celestial purpose, he traverses skies,*
>
> *Bearing Nah'aar's wisdom, the beacon that flies,*
>
> *His words of enlightenment alight upon hearts,*
>
> *Uniting souls in peace, each journey that starts.*
>
>
> *An enigmatic path, where others shall tread,*
>
> *Drawn to the first flame, by legacy widely spread,*
>
>
>
> *Within this Dunessh, twilight's revelation we acclaim,*
>
> *Y'kesh's awakening, Nah'aar's light in his name,*
>
> *Cryptic wisdom, veiled veils of time unfurled,*
>
> *Emissaries of peace, their mission to the world."*
>
>
>

The last four lines of the ancient poem have become the creed of the brotherhood, being recited every sermon by the Sunbrothers.

##### Summary of the Brotherhood

The Nah'aarian Brotherhood serves as the central spiritual community within the realm of Xeraxis. Deep within the boundaries of Esh'krin, the vast majority of its inhabitants proudly bear the title of Brothers of the Sungoddess, dedicatedly adhering to the sacred precepts of their revered order.

While firmly rooted in Xeraxis, the influence of the Brotherhood extends far beyond its confines. Known as Sunbrothers, their devoted members span the entire solar system, passionately upholding the teachings of their faith. The Brotherhood maintains an unwavering commitment to peace, aspiring to spread Nah'aar's ideals and foster harmony and enlightenment across the solar system.

##### The divine laws

The brotherhood has six divine laws describing the simple life of a Sunbrother. Contrary to their name, Sunbrothers don't have be of any specific sex or species, grounded in the 3rd commandment. The Nah'aarian Brotherhood are a pacifist order, living in equality, trying to spread the words of Nah'aar across the universe.

1. **The Sacred Pilgrimage**: All Sunbrothers shall undertake a sacred nomadic pilgrimage across the deserts of Xeraxis, visiting the Dunessh of Nah'aar at least once in their life.
2. **Devotion to Nah'aar**: Each day, Sunbrothers shall partake in the chanting of the last four lines of the holy creed at sunrise and sunset.
3. **Harbinger of Peace**: In all interactions and endeavors, Sunbrothers must exemplify peace and harmony, seeking to unite beings under the brilliance of Nah'aar's wisdom.
4. **Guardians of Nah'aar's Teachings**: The sacred knowledge bestowed by Nah'aar must be safeguarded and shared with utmost respect, ensuring its purity and integrity remain untarnished.
5. **Nomadic Existence**: Embrace the nomadic way of life, owning almost nothing of worldly values.
6. **Nesh'eeari conjuration**: Nesh'eeari conjuration may only be used for defensive purposes in life-threatening situations. Never use divine intervention to hurt another species.

If any of these laws are broken by a Sunbrother, they will get excommunicated by a 'Aari or higher religious figure. For the people of Xeraxis a excommunication is treated the same as a death sentence with most exiled Brothers treading the desert without any resources to perish in the red sands.
