Tahanism
Tahanism appeared in 2224, when Zan-Zahay, the prophet, assassinated the Turun kaman, claiming that the gods told her to take power and spread the one truth.
Structure
In Tahanism, priests are called "Foztlün". Each Foztlan is the leader of one temple, and each temple is for a different god. This means that in Zgardatl, there are over 340 different temples. Foztlün can also be teachers at the same time, or scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, artists and anything else. They guide praying sessions and call people to prayers, which is similar to Muslim adhans.
Cosmological Views
Tahanists believe that, in the beginning, time didn't exist, nor did nothing or something. Then, out of nowhere, a piece of the emptyness became self-conscious. It's the god of self-awareness, consciousness and boredomn named Ta'a. The fact that it was something create the distinction between something and nothing, thus giving birth to Bo'okh, the god of dreams and lies, and Ve'er, the god of logic, maths and truth. Ta'a then thought he was bored, and this thought created time. Ve'er created Si'eydd, god of art and creation, who created the Universe. It then gave birth, with its mind, to Hodok and Ko'otuk, and gave them the task to give beauty to the Universe.
Hodok is the god of darkness, and Ko'otuk is the god of light, vision and beauty (both visible and audible).
The complete story, altho, is very long, and a crazy ton of other gods were created after.
Fun fact : Si Eydd, the god of beauty, is almost always represented with what Fengati people call "potter hands" (hand joints hypermobility) on his eight arms, mainly because he is often called "the artisan among gods", or "the artisan of the Universe", and his Creation is compared with art.
