What Is Xeism
Xeism is the worship of Xe the god of life. However, we also worship Xi the god of the night sky.

Xe and Xi
In the beginning there was Xe (pronounced zeh) and Xi (pronounced zee). Xe was the god of life. Xi is the god of the night sky. This is a short description of Xe, His body glowed like the sun. A top his head was a crown of white fire. In his right hand he held a staff. In his left was a basket of the souls of those who are pure hearted. His staff was made of bronze and the top held the balance of life. He sat on his throne, gazing apon the world of Rathnir and Eldham. This is a short description of Xi, His body was dark. His eyes were as empty as the void. He wore a crown of blue fire a top his head. in his left hand he held a staff. His staff held a large floating crystal. The crystal seemed to hold the stars of the night sky in place. In his right hand he held the souls of the dead in a pouch. He sat on his throne in his palace. He resides on the moon, keeping watch over the universe.

Creation & Destruction of the first world
Xe felt empty. He needed someone to talk to. So he created Zai ( pronounced z-eye ) Xe then instructed Zai to create a home for himself, so Zai created Jagdas. Xe also instructed Zai to keep watch over the humans he would create to inhabit Jagdas. After Xe created humans all was good. There was only one problem. The humans despised Zai. The reason for this was that Zai kept most of Jagdas to himself. Zai had become so greedy that the humans began to rebel against Zai. They ended up killing him in a great battle. Now the humans were free and could gather all the resources they needed. However the humans had no one watching over them and keeping them in faith. So over many generations they came up with their own stories about creation. This infuriated Xe, so he destroyed the world of Jagdas

The Creation of the Secondary worlds
After 200 years of nothing two obsidian tablets emerged out of the void. These tablets created by Xi contained the blueprints of the world. Xi then sent a spirit named Zen. He instructed her to follow the blueprints and make the world. Zen obeyed and created the worlds of Eldham and Rathnir. After she did this Xi gave her a few gifts to give to Xe to encourage him to create life once more. Xi gave Zen 20 enchanted chalices of gold, a legion of spirits, and a sword enchanted with the eternal flame. Xe accepted these gifts a and created humans again. This time instead of a watcher like Zai, Xe decided to send prophets to keep the world in faith. Examples of Prophets include: MRPotatoman1234
