As far as the world is concerned, Jonnas Moska was the last of his bloodline as he lacked both kin and a spouse at the time of his death. All that is known is that his father was a man of high standing and political importance, as Jonnas possessed an unusual amount of wealth of which he had obtained through an inheritance.

The details of Jonnas Moska's greater family tree are unknown. As far as the world is concerned, Jonnas Moska was the last of his bloodline as he lacked both kin and a spouse at the time of his death. All that is known is that his father was a man of high standing and political importance, as Jonnas possessed an unusual amount of wealth of which he had obtained through an inheritance.

Kopenism
Kopen as a religion is largely centered around emotion, and the idea that happiness is synonymous with purity. Happyness is the only way to god and salvation; anger, sadness, sickness, and all negative emotions are a form of corruption that should be cleansed. In Kopenism, negative emotions are a form of heresy that must be removed. Like Geologism, the religions heretical counterpart, Kopenism is unusually authoritarian in its beliefs and often resorts to unorthodox punishments and methods for those deemed as heretics. This is likely a direct result of Geologist influence or the unforgiving nature of Stonish culture and tradition in general.
