Narsavulram

Narsavulram is a religion that is primarily practiced in Vulrazhir. It was started by the earliest Vazhanem to worship the fallen angel Vulra. Over time, the religion also adopted the worship of The Night Sky.

## The Three Tenets

There are three tenets that compose the foundation of The Narsavulram faith. Vanozhuli, followers of the faith, are expected to integrate these tenets into their daily life.

### Free Will

The absolute foundation of Narsavulram, the tenet that had been given to the Vazhanem first, was the concept of free will. When The Fallen Angel first created the Vazhanem, he made sure that they knew their purpose. Their purpose was to defy the order of the gods, and to this end Vulra taught the Vazhanem to value their freedom. Freedom and individuality are valued highly in Vulrazhir, though that is not to say authority should be ignored in all cases. Rather, it means that authority must be earned, not simply given. The gods impress their will upon the world, expecting respect from mere existence, and never doing anything to earn it. On the other hand, the rulers of Vulrazhir earn respect in their lives through combat and wise leadership. The Vazhanem are a race that values freedom foremost, for their very purpose is to be revolutionaries.

### Ambition

This Tenet is one of the ideals that drove the Vazhanem forward, even when they were driven from the Underearth. Strangely, the religion only acquired this tenet by accident. It was not a design of the Fallen Angel like its counterparts, but is in full a creation of the Vazhanem. Long ago, the earliest Vazhanem beheld the stars for the first time and became enchanted. This moment sparked ambition within them. They swore to reach heights greater and greater until they could reach the Night Sky itself and surpass even the glorious stars. The stars shone above all things, but unlike the sun with it’s oppressing light that encompasses all, they allow true freedom amongst themselves. Each star has a unique story, the constellations are prood of that. One day, the Vazhanem would outgrow the shackles of the world, and reach incomprehensible heights.

### Conquest

The tenet of conquest is largely referred to as “The Tenet that Defined an Age”. That is what the Tenet of Conquest is. This was the ultimate design of Vulra, not for the Vazhanem to simply be free, but to soar above others and rule. It came about not through his manipulations, but through the crucible of life. The basic principle of this tenet is that the right to exist, to be free, to thrive, must be taken by force. The Vazhanem are the unwanted subjects of the gods, and must carve their own way in the world. At its core, this tenet encourages the Vazhanem to strike first. Dominate your enemies before they can oppress you. This tenet was the driving factor behind the Underearth wars that caused the collapse of all subterranean civilization. The tenet of conquest has shed unquantifiable amounts of blood. The term “Vanozhuli”, the name of Narsavulram’s Followers, derives from this Tenet, making it a foundational part of Vazhaneyil culture.

### Gods

Tura’, King of The Gods, Lord of The Sun

The Great God Tura’ is the chief of all the gods, or at least the ones confined to this realm. All under the sky are under his dominion. He is the god that the Vazhanem hate the most, for he is their tyrant. The very word for tyrant in Vulmethir, Turanyil, derives from this god’s name. In addition to being King of the gods, he also governs light and the powers of the sun. This light allows him to see all the activities on the world’s face, and is what keeps his fellow gods in line. The sun weakens the Vazhanem by its very presence, but when the god Tura’ is slain, the sun will go out for eternity, and the Vazhanem shall rule the Night that remains. Tura’ is the great foe, the being Vazhanem strive to vanquish, driving them to ever greater heights in their quest.

Zathiasemur, Warden of The Night

Zathiasemur is believed to be the offspring of Tura’ though he was particularly weak, the runt of the litter. It is said that he was given the task of watching the Realm of Night simply because nobody dwells there. Zathiasemur has many titles in Vazhaneyil society, second only to Tura’. Zathiasemur is the Lord of The Moons, the Silver in The Dark (Literal Translation of his Name), the Lonely God, and The Eyes of The Night to name a few of his titles. The Vazhanem believe that Zathiasemur is the only thing holding back the horrifying beasts within the Night Sky, do naturally they hate it as much as they do Tura’. It is said that Zathiasemur was lent some of The Sun Lord’s power an age ago only so he would have no need to return to Tura’s Realm of Day.
