Ilgecism is one of the world's largest religions, primarily practivced within Mahaborei. It is one of the newest monistic 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. All existence is merely combinations of these various forms - who exist in the one reality of the beloved. Our Consciousness (self-awareness) comes as a result of our love towards the beloved, as he loves himself and wants to understand his own infinity. Consequently, the faith believes he exists in a trinity, as he is beloved, lover, and love but love is not lover, beloved is not love, and so on.
Ilgecism is unique compared to other monistic faiths since they believe unification with the beloved is impossible, and instead one must seek spiritual understanding through learning about the beloved, emulating his grace, and doing good works. The exact means to reach spiritual understanding are hotly debated, and have led to the formation of hundreds of schools. The religion has no spirtual book, but instead followers of the faith derive relevations from the 50 Great Poems, a series of vague yet beautiful poems over reality, love, and the nature of the beloved.
