Tamddaism, also known as the Cult of Ishel, is a syncretic sect of Sakbe originating in the eastern Ninva in the early 18th century. It is one of the youngest major religions in the world and among the major branches of Sakbeism with more than 40 million adherents in the Ninva and elsewherein central Scipia.

The Tamddaist sect emerged as an offshoot of the P'al community in eastern Scipia that migrated into the cities of the Ninva desert. The early years of the sect were overseen by the Desert Oracle, an enigmatic Mutulese religious figure regarded by modern Tamddaism as an immortal prophet. As a splinter strand of the wider movement of Sakbeism in the Ozeros, Tamddaism retains versions of Mutulese myths, deities, philosophies and religious practices introduced to the Ninvite peoples by the Oracle. The Desert Oracle also incorporated the existing ancient Deshritic pantheon and the ancestral Tenerian beleifs into his teachings, integrating entire cults of existing Ninvite deities into Sakbeic practice. In particular, the popular cult of Nekhbet in the east Ninvite city of Azut was converted by the Desert Oracle and their vulture goddess was syncretized with the Sakbeic Ix Chel, worshipped in modern Tamddaism as Ishel. The Cult of Ishel in Azut formed the basis of the Tamddaist strand of Sakbe and enabled its rapid dissemination across the desert cities including the Awakari imperial capital at Agnannet where the first true Tamddaist holy site, the Tazzarat, would be established.
