| - | Zarnism is the religion of the [[lore:Ikanbo People|Ikanbo]] tribe who live on the [[atlas:Elysian]] continent. The Ikanbo came to [[atlas:Miran]] as refugees and quickly carved out their own land between [[atlas:Ellendar]], the [[atlas:Three Kingdoms]], and [[atlas:Selcaria]]. Zarnism holds that everything is owned by the Ikanbo who were fashioned in the image of [[lore:Zarn]] from his truest child. Non-humans are the creation of devils and humans with light-colored skin have fallen from the grace of Zarn; only death awaits them. | + | Zarnism is the religion of the [[orgs:ikanbo_people]] who originated on the [[atlas:Elysian]] continent.

| Zarn and his children (see [[#Gahara]]) send their words through the Ikanbo in the form of tongues, dance, and natural events. Those whom he speaks most clearly are called to be his prophets and lead his people against the sin and corruption that blights the world.

| - | All of existence is Zarn for he gave of himself to create from nothingness. From this nothingness came light and dark, heaven and earth, water and fire. He gave life to the beasts upon the fields, the birds in the air, and the fish in the sea. Upon this world he created the Gahara (see [[bestiary:Sha’rek’ta]]), who were given the form of great beasts and instructed to care for this world and everything upon it. Pleased with what he saw, Zarn slept. | + | All of existence is Zarn for he gave of himself to create from nothingness. From this nothingness came light and dark, heaven and earth, water and fire.

| For a long time the Gahara guided this world in perfect harmony, but [[lore:Yolamba]] grew jealous of Zarn who had created all life. While Zarn slept, Yolamba stole the the [[lore:the creator|spark of life]] and returned to the world with his new power. Yolamba created life to worship him and destroy any that would not, including many of the other Gahara. Those Gahara who worshiped him were given power to enslave those who would not. | For a long time the Gahara guided this world in perfect harmony, but [[lore:Yolamba]] grew jealous of Zarn who had created all life.

| - | When Zarn awoke and saw what had happened to his world he anger was great. He seized Yolamba and his followers and cast them into Mwendo (see [[lore:Ley]]) where they will forever be denied warmth. Those Gahara who fled from Yolamba he stripped their minds, leaving them little more than beasts. //As an example, Lubaale who hid from Yolamba in the mountains is now a fierce shaggy [[bestiary:goat]] whose hooves cause the earth to shake and horns dig furrows in the ground.// | + | When Zarn awoke and saw what had happened to his world he anger was great.
