Thafism

Thafism is a monotheist religion that was founded in 72 ADT. Thafi people under opression of southern empires during this time created it as a belief that there was hope and a land of promise on the other side of the abuse they were facing and the famine they suffered. In 76 ADT a Prophet with no name led the people of Thafism to the Y'ortan river where they created a city named **Labyriv**. The people named it as The Land of Edin and pronounced the Prophet as the King sent from The Lord and named him as Nabiun Edin.

## History

### Pre-History

During the late 60's of ADT there was a minority located in the south of the continent Arenica named the Thafi people. They were treated as second class citizens in most of the empires they reside in and were not allowed to practice the same religion as their other citizens. They created small groups in the empires creating Thafism. Thafism is of a belief that their was a higher divine figure that will someday grant their people a blessing and save them by bringing The Thafi people to a higher plane of existince named The Land of Edin. This holy figure was often named, Edin, The Lord, and The One Almighty. They prayed on and on for a sign of hope and most artwork of The Thafi during this time scaped out what they believed The Land of Edin looked of. Most depictions contain a luscious green field with many fruit bushes and trees. Upon this green plane is a light and sharp blue river splitting the gracious land in half. Some called this river as Yorthani, meaning in their language a divison of good and evil.

### The Prophet

In 75 ADT a follower rose above the rest, he wore a tan robe and led most prayers among the worshipping sessions and spoke with almost the tounge of Edin. The follower had no name but most named him Biasli, a brother of the king in the empire that opressed them who attempted to assassinate and free all minorites in the empire of opression. Biasli promised the people in Thafism that soon Edin will give of them a greater life and create a land for them of freedom and prosperity. In 76 ADT he woke the people of Thafism and declared that it is time to begin their journey to The Land of Edin. They trekked a long pilgrimage through dunes of sand. Most had little to no food and lived off of small twigs that lie in the patches of sand. After 5 days they finally reached the green of the Y'ortan river, naming it after the river which was depicted in The Land of Edin. Biasli declared the land to be good and they set a village.

### Labyriv

The settlement in The Land of Edin was named Labyriv by the people of Thafi, translating in their languages to "The Land by The River". The Prophet was worshipped and paid with many goods that was all many followers had left to give. He denied all of them and just asked to oversee the creation of the Land of Edin. They named him "King of The Thafi People" and called him Nabiun Edin, for Nabiun translating to "Prophet" in the lanugages and Edin as The Land of Edin. The King Nabiun Edin Biasli led his people for many years from 76 ADT to 89 ADT after his death of old age. Nobody knows the true age of Nabiun before death but it is assumed to be 57 years. Before passing, Nabiun had 2 children, Labe Biasli and Mark Biasli. Mark was crowned the Chief of Labyriv at the age of 11 and carried on his father's Holy life. Labe Biasli was the Local Chief of Labyriv until 112 ADT where he was murdered by a Heretic.

### Alwadi

Over a century after the **Thafi Tribes,** were made, a new town was created which was based around the religious place **Edin** , the place where "The Lord" with the same name resides, **Alwadi** was created by the people of Thafi at around 201 ADT and is one of the most fertile lands in the region with crop yields being incredibly high, many believe this is a blessing from "The Lord" and a gift for the hardship that the people put into creating another town dedicated to his name.
