Majiritism

Majirtism is the official religion of Poi. It is roughly based on the real life religion of Islam. It is considered to be the complete opposite of Tohovokiism and as such; it is illegal to worship Majiritism in the Vallum Empire and it's aligned states.

Beliefs
Majiritisim is a much more controlling religion than Tohovokiism or Machina. It's followers do not use the Tohovok Imperial Calendar, but use the Majirtism Calendar which was founded in 573TIC. For example if it was 5643 with the Tohovok Imperial Calendar, it would be 5070MC. However due to business with Junta and the Tohovok calendar being used; the Majiritism calendar is used simply for religious holidays.

Along with the strict calendar usage, all women in Poi must wear a hijab that is marked with the colours of their family and men must don their family crest at all times; this used to be heavily enforced but recent changes in the empire liberalized the usage of this. There are also a number of holidays that must be preformed throughout the year, the main one being Hilimi Pilgrimage where all practicing Majirits must head to the Grand Himli Mosque in the capital city of Poi on the 18th of July to recite the founding words of Majirit and the emir of Poi.

History
Majiritism; much like Tohovok was founded by a person who came from Earth who rose to politcal power in the late formation of Poi. Nawaar al-Qazi, also known as Majir (Poian word for Warrior) arrived in Val in 573TIC and began to spread Islam to the natives who worshiped local tribal gods. In 574TIC; she began to rally two tribes together under the banner of the Majir. These two tribes were the Glypto and the Scoripo tribes and they began the Glripo Kingdom, proclaiming Majir as their goddess of war.

In 601, Nawaar was struck down in battle after a violent siege on a city in the proto kingdom of Poi. Her death, much like Tohovok ascended her to the position of Godhood among the four tribes that adopted her rule and they promised to unite the Himlili Desert under the name of Majir. In 1945TIC, this was achieved when most of the desert was under the banner of Majir and the formation of Poi was achieved. Since the violent beginnings; it began to calm down and structure itself in a more sophisticated manner; allowing for non Majirs being able to worship in their regions, but were subject to paying a tax every year; this is heavily enforced in Poi.
