Ilgecism

Ilgecism is one of the world's largest religions, and the primary one practiced within Mahaborei. It is one of the newest monoistic religions in the world, created in the 14th Century by the Ilgec Khan. The faith is both monotheistic and polytheistic - believing there is a pure form of the divine known as the beloved, who manifests himself into forms. Ilgecs believe that all existance is merely of the beloved, and we, his lovers, are merely combinations of his various forms. Our Conciousness (self-awareness) comes as a result of our love towards the beloved, establishing a divine trinity.

Ilgecism is unique compared to other monoistic faiths since they believe unification with the beloved impossible, and instead one must seek spirtual understanding through learning about the beloved, emulating his grace, and doing good works. The exact means to reach spirtual understanding are hotly debated, and have led to the formation of hundreds of schools. The only texts of the faith are the 50 Great Poems, a series of vague yet beautiful poems over reality, love, and the nature of the beloved. These poems are hotly debated to this day, as no scholar has delivered a universally acceptable interpretation.
