Nas'iib Faith

The Nas'iib faith is a religion that had originated from the world of Rathnir especially in the continent of Haven. The Nas'iib faith is a apostolic and dualistic-henotheistic religion. Dualistic meaning the Nas'iibs believed that there are two major distinct deity that battled each other for eternity, while Henotheistic means the Nas'iibs venerated one of that deity in this case Vitta.

Cosmology
In the time before kind, the universe is a big vast glob of void only the gods know what happened in that bygone era. But once there was a major war happening, the war is fought between the the two ancient factions of the universe, the Light and the Void. The war ended when the two leaders of the faction smites their swords against each other, a great force was formed creating a being called Golh. Golh pushed the two forces into the two corner of the universe, the Upper and the Below. The Upper is the place where the Light dwells, led by Vitta. While the Below is the place where the Void dwells, led by Jahir. While there is the Upper and the Below, there is also the Middle. The Middle is the place where the world that we know today as Rathnir and Eldham is located.

Creation Myth
This myth speaks of a bygone era. In the time before kind, the universe is an empty void. In there, there is two distinct forces; the Light and the Void. The Light demanded a change "Turn the void and let beauty arise!" but the Void said no, arrogance and the disgust of beauty filled their heart. Then the Light said "Beauty will save the world!" hearing it the Void filled their heart with anger, they declared war for eternity against the Light. The forces of Void is led by their lord Jahir, and the forces of Light is lead by their lord Vitta. The war started with the angels of both forces colliding in battle, the battle was horrendous. Then after that the leader of both forces clashed in a duel, their sword smites their body. Until the tenth smiting that had hit their sword, from that collision a great force was formed creating a being called Golh. Golh pushed the two forces into the two corner of the universe, the Upper and the Below. While leaving the Middle emptied, Golh dissolves.

Then Vitta stepped down from the Upper into the Middle and created the water, land, sky, and the sun. Not long after Jahir stepped up from the Below into the Middle and created the Moon, the black sky and the bad smell. Afterwards Vitta created the green fertile land from the dry land, creating trees in the process, filled the caves with ore, lifted the ground creating mountains and cut lands creating rivers. Jahir felt anger seeing Vitta creating so much of this. Then Vitta created all living beings including the primary human, the living beings are Vitta's favorite creation. Jahir saw this as an insult to the Void so Jahir cursed the livings to be dead. Vitta was so furious that Jahir had gave the livings the curse of death. Vitta was so furious, Accidentally creating a big hole forming the ocean.

The Eternal War
The Eternal War is a still continuing war between The Light and the Void which is led by their respective Lord, Vitta and Jahir. The Eternal war has started from the bygone era and will not end until the end of time. This war happened because of many factors between the Light and the Void, However Golh makes sure neither being can get an upper hand to maintain the balance between good and evil, until the end times.

Afterlife
When a regular person is dead their soul will be judged by Golh and their sins will be counted. If they are good enough their souls will ascend into The Light Realm and floats around in peace sometimes they will be reincarnated, and if they are not good enough their souls will be annihilated into The Dark Realm never to be seen again.

Instead if the person is a Nas'iibs their soul will be judged and their sins will be counted. If they are good enough their souls will ascend into The Light Realm and goes into a place called Ibreix where they stay. After they have become ready they will be reincarnated back to the World.

Deities

• Golh - was the god who brought awakening to the people of the Nas'iib religion, he revealed himself to them and so taught them the True names of Ja'hir and Vitta and the true nature of how he kept the balance between the two gods. Nas' don't worship Golh since he isn't good, he is equally good as he is evil which. He is also the one to choose where people go after death, which he does with absolute certainty.
