Momism
Momism (Ro: ꂿꃋꈜ mo my gga) is the ethnic religion of the Ro people, the second largest designated hill tribe people in Duran. Its name is derived from the Ro ꂿꃋ mo my, meaning heaven. The religion's name is literally translated to "Way of Heaven", though Momism is used. Another name occasionally used is Hniwoism, based on the name of the religion's prophet. The religion emerged during the Black Turban Revolt in the 16th century, centred around the millenarian figure of Hni Wo. After his death and the defeat of the revolt, the religion evolved as his followers came to accept the loss of their leader.
Momism occupies a central role in Ro culture and society. The Ro Syllabary, which is used to write in the Ro language, originated as a religious institution and has been claimed to have been given to the Ro people by Hni Wo himself. Many traditional festivals and even clothing styles are also influenced by the religion. In the modern day, the faith's anti-establishment millenarianism has served as the ideological basis of the Ro Salvation Socialist Front, which has resulted in some persecution of Momists by the Duranian state.
