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, because Vitta was so furious Vitta accidentally create a big hole forming the ocean.

The Awakening (the first revelation)
While Solevus Valunskha and Xoda Eydur is chilling near a campfire, looking at the sky of the night. They are wondering, suddenly they hear a glorious voice. "I am THE one. the true, THE.... I do not come to save but to preserve. I adorn you with the knowledge to use it well. for too long believers have been obsessed with balance, but in reality I regulate the ceasefire between those who you call Vitta and Ja'hir" They looked aside, no one is around. They are confused, but conceived that it was not an ordinary voice, but it was the voice of a greater being.

Vision of Fire
One day in New Tichmorok. Solevus Valunskha is warming himself with a campfire in a hut. He was wondering of how can he lead the followers into the right path. Suddenly the flame in the campfire burst fiercely, in that flame he saw a vision of 2 men. "The first has a life full of sin, he cheats a lot, likes to act evil, is disloyal, and likes to hurt others for no apparent reason. He was then expelled from his community and his nation, and he starved to death. His soul is then judged and was annihilated into The Dark Realm never to be seen again.""The second had a completely different life. He does not like to cheat, likes to do good, is loyal, and if he hurts others he has a clear and acceptable reason. He was accepted by his community and died of natural causes. His soul was judged, and succeeded in ascending to The Light Realm."After Valunskha saw the two visions, he created a Principles that was used as the guide and law of the Nas'iib

The Eternal War
The Eternal War is a war between Vitta and Ja'hir. that has started from the Beginning and will not end until the end of time. This war happened because of the difference of opinion, between Vitta and Ja'hir However Golh makes sure neither being can get an upper hand to maintain the balance between good and evil.

Afterlife
The Nas'iibs belief that 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 learns. After they become ready they will be reincarnated back to the World.

Vitta

Ja'hir
Ja'hir is the god of darkness and is the one who spreads darkness and destruction to the world, he is the one who leads The Dark Realm. And is the being that the Nas'iibs hates because of all the evilness work that he has done.

Golh
