Urubuhl Faith

The Urubuhl faith is a polytheistic religion in the Skahazadans, centred around the Demonomicon which dictates the word of the Gods as it was revealed by The Prophetess. It is the largest religion in the world.

## History

The founder of the Urubuhl faith was The Prophetess, born in Mahakha around the year 570. In her 40th year, she was visited by an otherworldly being who revealed to her the beginnings of what would become the Demonomicon. The Prophetess started preaching her teachings publicly, proclaiming that submission to these new Gods was the right way to live and that she was their prophet and messenger.

The Prophetess only gained few followers and experienced ongoing hostility from the people of Mahakha, forcing her to flee to Yagripp. Here, The Prophetess united the local tribes and spent eight years fighting Mahakha tribes until she had gathered an army of 10.000 converted men and women.

The Prophetess marched on the city of Mahakha and seized it with little bloodshed, which began a rapid conquest and by his death in 632, most of the Sahidic Lands, under the Rahusha Emirate, had converted to the Urubuhl faith. After her death, an impressive expansion began in the Skahazadans. No one was prepared for an expansion of such aggression as the Urubuhl had been largely underestimated in the rest of the Skahazadani world and within a few hundred years, the faith had become the primary religion in all of the Skahazadans.

## The Demonomicon

The collection of the religion's teachings are contained within the book called the Demonomicon. Demon is the old Sahidic word for Deity and it is also where Magnians derive their word for evil spirits, Demon, given that the primarily Cister Cartian Magnians saw the Urubuhls as a dark and evil force, and the gods they prayed to as twisted mockeries of Gods.

### Teachings

The faith teaches us that the Gods have provided life and all its glories and pleasures and that it is an affront to the Gods to shun their gifts. Worshippers are encouraged to enjoy all life has to offer. Lust, ambition, and fabulous luxuries are all virtues. They celebrate strength and greatest men and women are often believed to be able to rise and take the place of a God. Many Urubuhls see it as their holy mission to cleanse the world of other religions that seek to oppress the people and blind them from the Gods' gifts.

### The Wheel of Gods

The Urubuhl Gods are depicted on a spinning wheel with a rung for each of the 6 months of the Urubuhl calendar, each lasting 60 days, with 1 God for each month. Every month, the wheel turns and a new God takes power of the world.

##### The Amadha

The monarch of the Gods, who always takes on the name of the previous ruler of the Urubuhl world. These days, the God's name is Irani. The Amadha brings the scorching heat, but their mighty hand protects new-born infants. During the month of Amadha, Urubuhls engage in lenghty festivals in The Amadha's honour.

##### Mumit

The God of man and of humility, often depicted as an infant, sometimes with a blindfold covering his eyes. During the month of Mumit, worshippers must fast every other day to remind them of their mortality and to humble them before the Gods.

##### Kushaaba

The God of Fertility, Sex, and Harvest, often depicted as a pregnant woman armed with a Kopesh. The month of Kushaaba is the mildest of the year marks the time of the harvest feasts in which most children are concieved.

##### Yahkim

The God of Judgement, often depicted as a man with snakes for fingers, or simply as a snake. The month of Yakhim is cold and dark and worshippers make many sacrifices to show their devotion. It is said that he spends the month weighing the good and bad deeds of his people before he decides whether to punish them with a harsh winter or spare them with a mild winter.

##### Fuh

The God of Winds and Temptation, often depicted as a one-eyed tiger running across the dessert. During the month of Fuh, Urubuhls are not allowed to travel on ships.

##### Insaniia

The God of Duality; Life and Growht, Sickness and Death; depicted in a variety of ways, but always with large insect wings. During the month of Insaniia, farmers plant their crobs and diseases are common. Many Urubuhls make sacrifices of livestock to Insaniia.

## Amareed Urubuhl Faith

The Amareed's version of the faith is radically different from the Ayyubid teachings. They believe the Gods gave them their land and that they should humble themselves and be minimalistic. While the Wheel of Gods are merely a guideline for Ayyubs, it is an absolute Code of Life for the Amareeds, especially for the Sylozi, that among other teachings command their worshippers that they are not allowed to sow outside the Month of Insaniia or to conceive of children outside the Month of Kushaaba.

In Syloz Safali, their worshippers are also not allowed to consume flesh, animal or man, because it is seen as a desecration of the soul. Instead, worshippers should only eat what they have reaped themselves from the divine earth.
