Mahitou

Mahitou is the religion of the Lobo people, and is practiced widely in the areas and countries where they live. The nation of Laiatan holds more than half of all the Mahitou practitioners in the world, at least 296 million people practicing it there. The religion was once a strictly pagan religion, but it was reformed by Nika Alkaev following the formation of Lai in 602 AD. He was the first Mahiholunder, and effectively shaped how the religion would be for the next 1,400 years. Nika I's reformation of the religion is the only change Mahitou has seen.

Mahitou was the official state religion in Laiatan for some time until the formation of the Federation and the writing of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom to practice any religion and forbids the establishment of a state religion. However, Mahitou is the de facto state religion, as most of the country follows it.

Mahitou has also found itself in Vulshain, where a large number of the vulpine population follows it. While the religion is effectively only for lobos, the Mahiholunder has not denounced these vulpines, instead welcoming them into the religion. It's believed Vladimir XII is heavily influenced by the Laiatanese Constitution and its protection of religious freedom.
