Eisna

Eysna (from Rassenic Eisna; "Divine"), known in ancient times as the Cult of the Veiled One or the Alpanites, is a monotheistic religion prominent throughout the continent of Argestes, as well as parts of Caecia and Notius.

Origins

The original followers of Eysna were adherents of the Ancient Rassenic religion, which worshipped a broad pantheon of major and minor gods, but believed also in a small, mysterious group of deities known as the "Veiled Ones", who were never addressed or worshipped directly but were thought to be the ultimate, omnipotent arbiters of fate. However, a prominent Rassenic priest, known as Alpan Aska Capre, claimed to have received a prophetic vision from the Veiled One (which he described as a single entity), commanding him to preach the Veiled One's "true gospel". The followers of Alpan, dubbed the "Alpanites", proceeded to agitate against the Rassenic leadership, condemning them as followers of "false gods".
