Erapishi (Origo Mundi Map Game)

Erapishi is a tri-theistic religious group derived from the continent of Autinira and popularized in the Tsimdomdu Confederation around 70MU. The basis around the religion is the three deities, or gods, and three moral lessons as written in the Book of Yzione. The three primary deities persist of:

1. Khasar The Terrible, a representation of hell, pain, and suffering.
2. Eldegai The Wonderful, a representation of life, generosity, and goodwill.
3. Sukh The Fair, a representation of justice, order, and omniscience.

History

The Zaippuvell Cult and enlightenment

Erapishi is primarily dated starting in the Tsimdomdu's Era of Prosperity, a time period following the collapse of the Weorekrura culture and the centralizing of the Five Tribes into a confederacy. During this time period, the rise of separate ideological, philosophical, and moral thinking rose, as the tribal Shamans became grouped into the regional Council and although many of their decisions were followed, their claim to being "heavenly" stirred some trouble among the various tribes. Their claim on heavenly succession was supported by the very polytheistic nature of the confederacy. Originally out to illegitimatize the Council and King's role in religion, the Zaippuvell Cult was born out of this belief that the state was incorrect in their beliefs on religion. Additionally, the cult had been created as a means of unifying the tribal religions of the surrounding area to create a unified religion that services the citizens of the nation.

The Zaippuvell Cult began preaching their beliefs, but with a lack of evidence and their claims to a rightful faith being scattered, numerous members of the cult moved into the neighboring mountainous region as to better find enlightenment and to spiritually correct their beliefs so that what they believe in can be seen as legitimate and holy. This period of enlightenment is touched upon briefly in the Book of Yzione. One particular verse describes the members of the cult speaking to Sukh.

After discovering enlightenment and nirvana in the mountains, the remaining members of the cult moved back into the fields of Autinira, and after instructions and oral memorization from the words of Sukh, the members began the process and production of what would be the word of God himself, the Book of Yzione.

Early scriptures

The Book of Yzione would stand as the precursor and first of many books to be produced during this period relating to the original belief, with it's contents being dark, grim, and seen as somewhat mythical during it's later examination in modern history. The Book of Yzione is known to be the first book of the Testament of Creation, and after it's production around the year 70MU, four more books would arise in the following four decades, those being: the Book of Ocyreuz, the Book of Borachu, the Book of Anarbeanis, and the Book of Jenkik'shi.

The Books of Ocyreuz and Borachu are a historical rendition of the time period as well as known for containing the responsibilities that a follower of Erapishi should undertake so that he may ascend into the Baiju following the death of the person's original vessel. These two books are often the most accepted 

The Book of Anarbeanis is regarded as being the most controversial book, and is the only book recognized by the Schools of Jurcheudei. The book is spiritual, and details various philosophical, moral, and ethical issues faced in society both at the time and even in contemporary history. The Prophet, Nekunaisi, faces numerous problems both in his personal life and in society, and certain excerpts from this book are used to justify conservative extremism by the Jurcheudei, but at the same time, justify highly democratic authoritarianism for Kha'chilism. 

The final book of the first testament, the Book of Jenkik'shi, is often quoted for having direct speeches from the first four prophets: Bucharan, Ianbida, Kaiman, and Kurranga. The Book of Jenkik'shi is the shortest of the five books, and is often looked upon for the Prophet's foresight and their thoughts on specific issues regarding the Tsimdomdu society at the time of it's original production. Believers of the Xangzhism, the largest sect of Erapishi, use this Book in particular for political and governmental structure of nations surrounding the faith, and were successful in using the formulas laid by the first four prophets in creating the Kingdom of Ibiyari much later on.

Denominations

Schools of Jurcheudei

The Schools of Jurcheudei is a highly conservative extremist sect of Erapishi, and is often regarded as the most violent sect. They follow the teachings of the sixth Prophet Nekunaisi, and view the Book of Anarbeanis as the only legitimate religious text, while illegitimizing the Testament of Integrity and the Testament of the Covenant in their respective entireties.
