Anomai, also Aga Ma'i or Maism, is a monotheistic religion founded and first spread in Jashnagar, teaching that there is only a single God, who created the physical universe. Followers are referred to as Maists, and constitute religious communities around the globe. Anomai is made up of many traditions, practices, and beliefs that vary, though are all considered a part of one faith. This has lead to the notable feature of differing monastic sects within the religion, but a distinct lack of schism.
Beliefs vary within the religion, but generally hold that this universe was created by a single God, who can influence events within it. God, as understood by Maists, is all-powerful in regards to this universe, but is subject to the concept of Dam. Dam refers to an overarching energy that permeates this universe, and other universes that are also said to exist, and may be the origin of God itself. The idea of Dam and the recognition of other universes has lead some scholars to challenge Anomai's status as monotheistic faith.
Maism is notable for having a religious state in its origin area, Jashnagar, with a religious head in the A'sina and Bas'kan. The tied political and spiritual nature of this has lead to diplomatic issues and continues to be a hot-button topic in countries with Anomai minorities.
