History

Chalumsanism dates back at least as far as the rise of the Amun Dynasty and likely far earlier, though it it impossible to know for sure due to the loss of historical records. It is known that the Amun were large proponents of the forceful conversion of the peasantry to Chalumsanism and it is now practiced by nearly every person in the empire. It is theorized that the Amun were responsible for the elements of the faith that emphasize loyalty and obedience to authority since it seems detached from the other tenants of the faith.
