Ezekielans (Amaric: ܐܚܝܢܐ Ahyana) are an ethnoreligious group which originated from modern-day Tsabara. Ezekielanism and "Ezekielan-ness" are closely intertwined, although it is possible to be an Ezekielan without being an adherent of Ezekielanism, and vice-versa. Despite this it is often classified as an ethnic religion.
The Ezekielan nation originated from early Ezekielanism, a religious movement which splintered from early Sotirianity. The Ezekielanists believed that Ezekiel Khristos was the son of Jesus Soter, and had formed a new covenant between Mankind and God. After Ezekiel went into occultation in 67 AD, his followers attempted a failed revolt against the Solarian Empire. This event, combined with religious and political upheaval in modern-day Tsabara, and missionary movements, led to the formation of a Template:Dp. Early Ezekielanists were universalist proselytisers, competing with Nicene Sotirianity and other Sotirian strands for several centuries, until Nicene Sotirianity became the established religion of the Solarian Empire. While missionary activities continued elsewhere, particularly in Bahia, the Ezekialanist sect became the ethnogenesis for the Ezekielan nation.
