Description[?]:
| OOC: Passing this approves it as canon in Alorian history. ***BOGISM*** For a long time Bogism was the worship of the Alorian Indian spirit of nature known as Bogul. Bogul was part of a Pantheon of spirits, but was the most popular with the native Alorians secluded in the Kurmal Mountains. Bogul promised a better harvest from natures bounty then the Mountains could provide. Then, at an unknown date before contact with most of the outside world, a man only known as Tiki the Mysterious spread the belief through fables he told that Bogul was actually the great spirit of all Terra and all other spirits were merely evil demons(known as Xenoses in Bogism) that tried to hurt Bogul through taking away his tributes. For a long time this simple monotheistic spirit worship belief dominated until the thrid century BC when a small group of Quanzaran Jewish pilgrims, persecuted by the majority of Quanzarans for their liberal beliefs, moved into the Krentori Delta Area where very few of the mountain loving Alorian Indians lived. It was only a few years until these two distinct peoples began trading with each other and sharing ideas. This was the second stage of Bogism when in the first century a converted Quanzarian Bogist known as John the Messenger preached a reformed form of Bogulism greatly changed by Jewish contact known simply as Bogism. This religion was grappled onto by a large minority of the Jews and the majority of Alorian Indians who were looking for hope in a time of famine. This Bogism is the basic foundation of the Bogism we know today, except for the forming of the Ceremonial Bogist Church(the modern authority over Bogism across Terra) by a man known as Bog Incarnate and some Christian elements. Bog Incarnate was thought of as the Incarnate of Bog in human form and began preaching a more Christian parallel version of Bogism around 1045 AD at the time of Selucian pilgrimage by evangelical Catholics that Bog was not a spirit, but in fact a god that could forgive us of our sins and lived in the very nature of Terra. He was eventually killed by a scuffle with some Selucian pilgrims in 1051 while trying to preach Bogism to them, but some of his followers made a ceremonial head dress of him out of leaves and created an elaborate funeral procession for the man. These people created the Church of Ceremonial Bogism which derrived the strange rituals of Bogism from the behaviour at Bog Incarnate's funeral processions and the curhc stil maintains a ceremonial mask today.

The Church originally was persecuted by Bogists, Jews(who were a declining population by then), and Christians alike, but in 1322, after the death of Arcadius, the Duke of Gavonshire declared himself to be Alorian Christian. Soon enough the entirety of the Alorian ruling class (which had divided Aloria into different, albeit still friendly, sovereign states) was Alorian Christian and forced it onto the populous. |
