Nakharism

Nakharism stems from the Asaryan word "Nakhá", which means ethereal, and is the culprit responsible for creating the basis of Asarāvijā's later culture which continues to persist to this current day. The monotheistic faith worships a karmic deity known as Nakrām, a heavily revered symbol of Asaryan culture and history.

Patron Deity
Unpredictably in certain periods of time throughout the years, a rift has been known to open in the skies above the mountainous plateau, these have been Nakrām's doing as he frequently descends into Najirata (Rathnir) from the plane of existence in which he has inhabited for an amount of time which is unknown to even his own worshippers. Similarly to Entropy, Nakrām takes pleasure in riling the populations of the surface dwellers. But rather than manipulating individuals while encouraging acts of carnage as Entropy does, Nakrām instead seeks to punish the vermin of the world by delivering karma through swift retribution.

Avatars
To better understand the world without making his ethereal being noticeable to the denizens of the realm, he possesses physical beings created from his own magic in order to coexist with mortal life. Due to the extensive set of abilities that each avatar has been imbued with, only two of them can exist at most as it is the furthest extent of physical power which Nakrām can wield beyond his own plane of existence.


 * Kaehiru, the traveler, is a physical form of Nakrām whose purpose is to read the world and it's histories. He frequently visits places beyond the Asikh territories in order to seek the knowledge which may lie abundant in these locations. Traditionally taking on a male identity, Kaehiru is known to be rather adept at scaling the seemingly impassable landscapes of the world, whether it be cliffsides or tundras, the harshest environments do not seem to buffer his migrations. Despite this, he still remains susceptible to the perils of hunger and disease, and lives an average mortal life after every reincarnation.
 * Lhasraji, the arbiter, is another physical form of Nakrām, whose purpose is to act as the embodiment of karma itself. She will stop at nothing to drag the wrongdoers of the world into a state of perpetual suffering. Unlike Kaehiru however, Lhasraji is immortal, and feels no pain, hunger, or sickness. It is said that when all of the world is cleansed of it's malice and sin, only then will she finally cease to exist. Though Lhasraji spends most of her time in hiding, rumors have spread from time to time in the form of myths and legends, often referring to Lhasraji simply as the "Punisher." Her cultural significance has even made itself present in Asaryan children's tales as a way of encouraging repetance and self-discipline.
