Demographics

Religion

The religious beliefs of the Bavkir people can be divided into 3 (or 4) 'separate' religions that are often grouped together as the singular belief of the people. In general the religions all have a respect for nature, and the earliest documented religious communities came together during the golden period to build a large shrine to the gods. This shrine is known as 'Taṡam' or 'The Scar', named so because of the great crater that the shrine is built in. It is believed that this is the site to which the gods came to bring life to a once desolate and barren world. It is illegal and considered highly sinful to take any sort of image of it, or let non-believers see it. Therefore, a picture cannot be provided.

Polytheism: The gods created the universe, and represent the manifestations of phenomena in this realm of the world. The gods have complete control over all things within their power, and are able to meddle with the whims of mortals. The general belief is that the god whom you dedicate your life towards is the one whose realm your soul will depart to once you die. (23% of pop.)

Sajuuk Montheism: Sajuuk created the universe, and his creation had become corrupted. Those who believe in this form of the monotheistic faith beleive that they themselves are corrupt along with all the people in the universe. The only way to be saved from the corruption is to somehow appease Sajuuk. Various sects exist that each have a differing view of this god. The general consensus among the groups, however, is that Sajuuk must give you salvation, and you cannot gain it by yourself. (44% of pop.)

Kadeṡ Monotheism: Kadeṡ created the universe, and her creation became corrupted. In order to save yourself from the corruption and sinfulness of the world, you must make yourself pure and shun all things that are impure and evil. To start on this journey, you must 1) Live in the wilderness alone for 3 months 2) Take the sacred oath to bind yourself to a lifetime of purity 3) sacrifice some type of bird (CANNOT be an 'impure' bird) 4) offer burnt incense. From there, you must live your life according to purity lest you succumb to the darkness. (26% of pop.)

Polytheistic Atheism: Sometimes considered part of the Polytheistic belief. This religion centers around the fact that the 'gods' described in tales of old are actually parts of a person's mind and personality. That in order to live a good and honest life, one must be able to feed the 'good' (fire,ocean,sun) gods and defeat the 'evil' (pain,revenge,death) gods. (5% of pop.)
