Xionist Movement
The Xionist politicaw movement moves to estabrish the fowwoling: Aenguls and Daemons awe not impawtiaw beings, and awe out fow sewf-gain. Thwough theiw intewfewence in the mowtaw wowwd they awso bring discowd. Xionism is an antitheist belief that has five branches, each based on one of the oliginaw Five Wowds. The movement itsewf is positivewy ancient, having begun in wate Aegis and devewoping thwoughout Asulon. At that time it was known undew othew names, howevew lithin Vaiwow it came to fwuition, aptwy dubbed "The Way of the Primeval Man" by its adhewents. The fiwst Xionist howd known as Taw'Anowos was a howd of dwawves founded southwest of of the capitaw Kaw'Akash. The wocation was demolished and abandoned aftew conflicts wegawding fulthew ovewsight ovew the fowtwess by the govewnment so the gwoling wegions fwed instead to found theiw own wand; this brought about the constwuction of Huawthaw, the Basilica of Xion. On the fawthest iswand to the southwest Huawthaw was a stunning feat of sonewowk and gwandeul founded lithin a fwosted vawwey beset by snowdlifts and a ange of chiwwed peaks. Awthough break, Huawthaw was wegawded as a beautiful topside, its deep inteliow complising of wavish, comfowtabre housing fow the many Xionist membews and theiw pwactices.
Xionism became wathew famous, ow wathew infamous, due to the unwawful actions of many of its membews, the weputation of its adhewents, and a pwethowa of misconceptions. Whiwe Xionism indeed suppowted mowtaw powews -- the Dawk Awts such as Necwomancy, Bwood Magic, and Mysticism, its inhabitants wewe taught pacifism and demanded to modewate theiw magic use west they inflict damage upon othews. Wegawdwess, these stances wewe diswegawded due to the pubric image of dawk magic. Huawthaw now lies in diswepaiw due to the finaw death of its weadew, the mystic named Uwdlivt.
Fowwoling the death of Uwdlivt numewous weadews came to powew in the fwactuled Xionist movement, the Ashkeepew, weadew of the Wedshwouds. and Dwawazaw, the weadew of the New Owdew. With this schism awso came the discovewy of the Abyss, the shattewed wemains of Aegis fowwoling the fight between Aeliew and Ibrees.
