Kozam is a religion that was practised primarily by citizens of the Kormistazic Empire, and was the official religion of the empire. Kairos, the holy book of Kozam, was originally written around 3000BCE on clay tablets, but the modern version was created by monks of the Prophet Jakatai Kalamitas in 503BCE.
Contents
Pantheon
There are two major gods in the Kozam pantheon, Sek and Noct, with each having a set of idols dedicated to certain elements of nature or phenomenon, their creations and actions being detailed in Kairos.
Sek
Sek is the Kozam god of life and creation, taking the form of either a pale dragon or a Caucasian woman dressed in a white toga.
Idols of Sek
Aquanis
Aquanis is the Idol of rain and rivers, created by Sek when she called down a great deluge to cleave the mountain range constructed by Noct into many pieces and carve deep valleys into the earth.
Eleneri
Noct
Noct is the Kozam god of tradition and craft, taking the form of a black eagle or a tanned man dressed in utilitarian wear like that of a blacksmith.
Idols of Noct
Arkhalis
Arkhalis is the Idol of storms and wind, birthed by Noct after he blew upon the world during its creation, resulting in a tempest which broke apart the mythical flying city of Lapatus and confining humanity to the earth.
Caelx
Caelx is the Idol of crystals, said to be formed when Noct was forging the earth and imbuing it with its mineral wealth.
Kevatuul
Kevatuul is the Kozam god of destruction and chaos, said to form after the deaths of both Sek and Noct from their bodies and the essences of their idols, and is said to bring about the death of the world at the end of time.
Mythos
Beginning
The Kaira tome states that in the beginning, there was only an endless void, featureless and dark like a starless twilight. Upon this expanse there was a single icon of creation; the floating city of Lapatus in which humanity thrived. In Lapatus there was no ill or suffering, only luxury and ecstasy. The people spent their days pursuing novel arts and exploring the exotic culture spread of the city, and were ruled over by the eternal king Juluri Kanaquill. However, whilst all inside the city were fully satisfied with the world and existence, within the darkness of the void there existed an entity known as Kevatuul, the incarnate God of Chaos. Kevatuul had watched the city for eternity, eyes burning with scorn as the magic keeping the city afloat in the void also prevented him from destroying it and allowing his void to reach true entropy and ending time.
One day, King Kanaquill passed over rulership to his son Ericco Kanaquill wip
