Taychendi Hero Cults
{ReligiousDescription|religion=gods_of_the_taychend|description=The Taychendi believe that one can become a god through legendary actions in life. After their passing, these heroes rise to become gods through popular acclamation. The feats that allow someone to ascend to godhood vary considerably, but the most common way is through war and conflict. When one dies and does not ascend, they are instead reincarnated.\n\nCults have often formed around these god-heroes, their members emulating their god to both gain favor with them and potentially follow in their footsteps, in order to stand a better chance of ascending in this life or the next. These cults, both the secretive and popular kind, are very prominent in Taychendi society, and hold great religious and political influence.}

Taychendi Hero Worship
{ReligiousDescription|religion=gods_of_the_taychend_reformed|description=The Taychendi believe that one can become a god through legendary actions in life. After their passing, these heroes rise to become gods - provided, of course, that the Emperor does not object. The feats that allow someone to ascend to godhood vary considerably, but the most common way is through war and conflict. When one dies and does not ascend, they are instead reincarnated.\n\nWhen Taychend became united, the imperial state took great pains to centralize the Taychendi belief system. Smaller regional cults were either integrated or suppressed, their gods becoming part of a new, standardized Taychendi pantheon. The imperial cult became widespread and state-sponsored, firmly integrating itself into Taychendi religious practice.}

Oren Nayiru
{ReligiousDescription|religion=oren_nayiru|description=The Oren Nayiru are a radical, millenarian new religion, born from the union of the Taychendi Cult of Vherenar and ideas adopted from the Bulwari Sun Cults, introduced to Taychend by the Jaherian Exemplars. The Oren Nayiru believe that the arrival of the Exemplars heralded the return of Nayiru, the last surviving member of a group of higher gods, and that a revolutionary war to overthrow the rulers of Taychend and radically reshape society and government is imminent.\n\nMilitantly abolitionist, the faith’s primary base is the slave, serf and peasant populations of Taychend. They are led by a class of warlord-priests, the Kavalali, who lead “cells”, secretive and compartmentalised Oren Nayiru communities – the most prominent of these are themselves led by the “High Kavalali”, the leaders of the faith.}
