Nixum

Nixum was an skeptomorphic religion originating from the Flowing Mountains. The religion reveres thoughtforms of strength and war.

Nixumites value strength and courage. One could improve their social status by partaking in the treacherous pilgrimage to the summit of the Flowing Mountains. Those who died on the journey were said to be unable to discover afterlife, becoming driftless spirits known as the Nix. Those who survived the journey became the Sijiks, the priests and ruling class of the Kantelli. The Sijiks would elect one of their own to becomes the religious and political leader of the Kantelli, known as the Anak.

In 3330 AR the Kantelli Empire acquired Signaty, leading to religious conflict between Nixum and Pyrasians. Disillusioned with Orthodox Nixum and hoping to bring about religious unity within his empire, Anak Barat promoted Sijikken, a syncretic creed derived from Pyrasian and Nixum. This religion would soon go on to displace Orthodox Pyrasian in popularity, eventually becoming the dominant religion of East Teutalli.
