Zarasaism

Zarasaism being related to Iovism and other respective Iovic religions, it's one of the most practised religions in Vaniu, with around 100-400 million adherents, it is a cosmogonic dualistic faith with a strong monotheistic association, it combines elements of early Iovism and pre-Vaniuan faiths. Zarasaism is based on the teachings of Zarasa who through a divine vision sought to reveal and widen Sahar's creation and assert Muhosh's position on the Endless Realm. According to Zarasa's holy teachings, the Endless Realm, in which both the Realm of Gods, alternatively known as the Realm of Bliss and The Realm of Men are part of, is an endless collection of worlds which constantly interact with each other and are the cause of natural events. Muhosh also known as Muhe is the product of evil itself and has survived the The Great Fire to continue spreading his deprived will over the Realm of Men. He is according to Zarasa the reason for humanity's corruption and evilness and thus mankind should pursue the Golden Path in order to eventually attain The Realm of Gods.
