Jashjote

History
Thousands of Years ago during the creation of Eldham the first ones to inhabit the world were Santonian's who came out the ground and populated what was known at the time as The Santonian Peninsula also known as Santos. But before the Empire was four Tribes that inhabited the land, The Ancient Santonian Tribes arose from several lands in The Santonian Peninsula, the red dots indicate where a majority of Santonian's arose from, The Tribes were of the following: The Imperium Tribe, The Kasa Tribe, The Novician Tribe, and The Khuesko Tribe, all of which were separate tribes that were divided among the lands of The Santos Peninsula, The Chief Leader of one tribe known as Michael Imperium who was the Leader of The Imperium Tribe who one day went to the local lake near his tribe at this point the tribes were scared of each other and so refused to make contact with one another due to fears of one being more powerful then the other until Michael collected water that day, in the lake rose a giant Stone Guardian which frightened Michael to which he pulled out his spear in self-defense however The Stone Guardian would use his telepathic abilities to communicate with Michael, he explained how he is made up of pure stone due to old asteroids hitting Eldham long time ago (Rumors being some Asteroids are in Rathnir as well) and he has for a long time studied the Santonian's and their culture and their lives and were saddened of how divided they are, so he decided to step in and proclaimed Michael as The Prophet, warning him of the many problems he will one day stumble upon however he and his Santonian's will always arise again due to Santonian willpower. With Michael now knowing his destiny the Stone Guardian had him listen to his five Prophecies.


 * 1) Santonian's must be ruled by blood-related and Santonian in the Imperium Family.
 * 2) Worship must be done for the Stone Guardian.
 * 3) Protect Santonians from Foreign Imperialists.
 * 4) Santonian's must continue their way of life.
 * 5) The Stone Guardian must be seen as a guardian that all Santonian's can look up to.

With these prophecies Michael was then advised to venture across The Peninsula and unite the lands peacefully and diplomatically with the other tribes and merge all the cultures together to create one same culture to unite all Santonian's. And with this Michael mounted his White Horse and travelled across the Unknowns of The Peninsula, to help him The Stone Guardian set out a bi-headed gold eagle that would help Michael travel across the Peninsula by giving directions, in a matter of weeks of travelling Michael had setup many who saw him as The Prophet of The Stone Guardian and by the end of it all The Santos Empire was established and all was peaceful. The Stone Guardian having worked hard entered a slumber however when he awoke he found The Empire helped build destroyed and ransacked by barbaric pillaging Colonizers, after traveling the oceans of Leifmyrr he found Michael and other Santonian's in now what was known at the time as New Novice, he was told that the nation of Newkunir had attacked them and pillaged them of all their land and had plans of selling it to all with the most money and refusing to sell any to the natives of the lands and forcing them out said lands in mass, the ones who refused to leave were massacred, The Stone Guardian disgusted by this behavior of Newkunir decided to protect the Santonian's from now on however unable to protect them from attacks by colonizers, or other people and instead with the threats of beasts from other worlds and other worldly threats. However the Santonian's still praised him even if they were dealt a bad hand, after the Santonian's were forced out of Leifmyrr they settled into Raiyuna and created the City of Sanria a refugee city which became full of Santonian Refugee's and Santonian's who were born in other parts of Eldham, The Stone Guardian deciding to follow wherever the Santonian's went to protect them no matter what.

The Books of The Stone Guardian
There is currently four Books about The Stone Guardian in the Temple of The Stone Guardian on lecterns one that describes the Stone Guardian, the other explaining the eight prophets of Jashjote and the purpose of The Imperium Family, and the third and most newest Book being a set of instructions The Santonian's must do to regain their old lands that were once taken by them by Newkunir. There is rumors of a older book called The Guardian's Death which was made by one Santonian and is considered by Santonian's who Practice Jashjote as fictional, plus it is lost and wherever it may be is unknown.

Beliefs
Jashjotians believe in only one God known as The Stone Guardian, however they also worship many Prophets such as Michael Imperium who is still seen as the leader of The Santonian People by many, They believe The Stone Guardian as a sort of Stepfather to them and believe he protects all Santonian's no matter of what crimes they have done or what acts, as long as the five prophecies are upheld then The Stone Guardian will protect The Santonian People. Santonian's also believe that The Santonian Peninsula or Holy Land of Santonian's (Called By Some) is Rightfully theirs and that they hold a claim to the entire Peninsula no matter what, they dream is one dream being The Santonian Dream where Santos will one day be able to reclaim their old lands either by Diplomacy and Peacefully as some want, or if the situation gets worse Violently.

Other then The Stone Guardian there is the Eight Prophets, all eight are worshipped and are seen as lesser extents to The Stone Guardian, The Eight Prophets can be picked out by The Imperium Family or The Stone Guardian themselves, each Prophet has a purpose.

Pratices
The Santonians worship in both Travelers Tongue and The Santonian Language, they worship in temples be they big or small and crouch or sit in front of a Rose with eight candles being lit to properly pray to The Stone Guardian for Peace, Justice, or Luck. Prayers take only five minutes and after that there is ceremonial wine to be drunk before a simple sacrifice be done, either it be a Spear, Food, or a living Animal. Although not forced upon Jashjote sometimes tries converting other Santonians or other people to worship The Stone Guardian.
