Qaldaism is the state religion of Qazania and a religion that branched off of Devotionism around ~1100BC. The religion centres around the belief that Jet is the only god, and that there will be a day where Jet will create a new holy realm for the purest souls in the world.

Etymology

The etymology of the name comes from the name of the prophet Atqar Qarwy Qaldaý. The name "Qaldaý" itself comes from the word "qaldaý" in Qazan, which means "after" and "future".

History

Qaldaism started off as a branch of Jetism - a denomination of Devotionism, and split off at around ~1200 AD. According to the Book of Qaldaý, Atqar Qarwy Qaldaý received a holy vision and proclaimed that Jet is the only god. Qaldaý created the Qaldic Church and self-declared himself as the First Pontiff of the Qaldic Church. Eventually, the Qaldic Church existed as a political and religious entity, and its influence expanded throughout the rest of Khaazland. The Qaldic Church gained military power and was able to overthrow the kingdom of West Khaazland, and eventually through a series of conquests was successful at uniting Khaazland. Through this, Qaldaism was able to become the dominant religion in Qazania to this day.

Apart from the traditional narrative of the origins of Qaldaism, there may be other historical factors that have affected its development. Primarily, Jetists and Sharvirsiidists have lived in Northern Khaazland, and their extensively contact may have led to several exchanged ideas within Qaldaism. Henotheism was common in the area, and its transformation into monotheism is not uncommon.

Core Beliefs

Monotheism

Unlike Devotionism, Qaldaism is monotheistic. The worship of Jet is not exclusive to Qaldaism and had existed before Qaldaism in Jetism and to some extent in Shavirsiid. However, Atqar Qarwy Qaldaý was the first to proclaim that Jet is the only god and denounce the status of god for all other deities.
