Ahmanite Faith

The Ahmanite Faith was a religion from Dimension S-2020 and an offshoot of the Elinite Faith. It was the state religion of the Theocratic State of Ahman. After the Crusade against the Ahmanites, the religion was completely erased from existence.

## History

In December of 46AUC, a splinter group of heretic Elitines from Chiyesa broke away. This group, led by Seer and Revelator Maplic, claimed the Church of Eli had fallen into apostasy and corruption and claimed the original name of the Prophet Adal was Ahman. They founded the Theocratic State of Ahman in accordance with their new faith and settled to the southwest of the Kingdom of Desonia, in what they claimed to be the promised land. Followers of the Ahmanite Faith were subsequently excommunicated from the Church of Eli.

In the lead up the eventual confrontation between Elinites and Ahmanites, there was a brief tension between the Empire of Wineghem and the Pontificate as Grand Prince wsgaming1 had been swayed by the Seer Maplic to convert to the Ahmanite Faith. Eventually the tension was resolved when Emperor Kevindec gave his support for the crusade and the Grand Prince converted back to atheism. In July of 47AUC, the Prophet Eli miraculously returned from the Heavens to write a new testament. On his command, the Crusade against the Ahmanites was called, resulting in a crushing defeat of Ahman and the end of the religion.

## Religious beliefs

The Ahmanite Faith is an offshoot of the Elinite Faith and thus holds several religious beliefs in common. Ahmanites believe in the gospel of the Son, whom they believe to be God in the flesh -- who walked the world, suffered, and sacrificed himself in the End so that every soul may be saved. They believe God the Son, in the flesh, established a church while here in the world to help every soul reach salvation and to become like him one day. Ahmanites believe that over the years, the church that God the Son established had fallen into apostasy and corruption. They believe that this was predicted by the prophet Adal, or Ahman - the true name according to the Ahmanites.

One day, at a young age, a boy by the name of Maplic was praying to God when a figure supposedly appeared to him. That figure was God, the Son. He told Maplic that the Pontificate had turned to evil and that the Son’s true church needed to be reestablished in the world. He directed Maplic to convert others, move to a promised land far away in the West, and rebuild the true faith. There, he was promised, the Ahmanites would thrive. The followers of the Elinite faith in the East were not eager to join in the true church, but those of good character, many without a nation by IC standards, converted in droves. Zarashemela grew, and it was ordered by God the Son that a temple should be rebuilt in order to conduct the ways of the original church in the purest form.

The Ahmanite Faith was completely debunked when the Prophet Eli returned from the heavens to lead a crusade against the heretics in Zarashemela. As a result, many Ahmanites converted back to the Elinite Faith or were eradicated by force.
