	The golden masks of Rahme, or death masks, as they are often known as are worn by the Golden Maidens. They are the servants of the ruler of Anjyarr and are worn to hide their beauty or true self from the population, for only the one they serve is allowed to gaze upon it. This originates from a myth where Mohekh was the only god allowed by Rahme to see her true face. A golden mask portrayed in hieroglyphs often represents the mystery of a certain death: the cause of the entombed one's death being unknown.

	The Khadan of these tribes do believe in an ending to the world, however. Named: "The Last Light" refers to the sun god's last light shining on Eden. The moon will block the sun so long that The Void will break through to the mortal domain and consume all, ending all creation made by Kathra. The gods will rain down on the world to destroy the corruption, sacrificing themselves and creating new life through this. When this happens differs for each tribe. Yet, many consider it may start when all mortals have lost their way and let their souls be engulfed by darkness. It is up to the followers of the "Tarik Ejelkhi" to rectify the evil and stay on the true path of life laid out for them by Kathra.

	Tolerance encourages the followers of the Tarik to adhere to the principles of the Path but does not erode the respect for other religions. While from a philosophical view, the followers of Tarik acknowledge the existence or once-existence of other deities. And even share some pre-written judgments written on their holy texts or books. However, their views slightly alter in terms of divinity or their role. All priests of the Tarik il Iʂik say the same: Everyone's dignity must and shall be respected, regardless of their faith, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status in life.

	''“In the perfect creation, the universe, everything fits in its own place, as it is meant to be. Upon death, the souls of those who have walked the path of evil in their mortal lives shall be cast into the darkness of the void, surrounded by unimaginable horrors that seek only to devour them whole. The souls of those who lived exemplary lives, those who were heart, shall end up within the warm embrace of the sun, the only light in the darkness. They are the brightest stars in the night, waiting to return to Eden when the time of their reincarnation arrives. The only chance they will get since the souls that reside in the light shall not be devoured by the dark creatures.”''		Practices in the religion of the [[Kha'mal]] tribes range from each nomadic faction. Many prefer the use and spread of sermons to unite the people through priests or cultists. Others pray in silence, hands folded or placed on the ground, to either one or many deities.

	Each religious ritual often ends with a blessing through the markings with the blood of an animal or water from the rivers.

	Feasts and songs are commonly used throughout history, and the nomads of the Kha'mal tribes and their faith use this plenty. Songs about fallen warriors or Pharoes, stories of their gods, or those they have lost along the path, are retold every generation. The “Old Path” is a verbal religion, where stories would be expressed through art and symbols. Though scholars were able to record mythos, these scrolls are welcomed by the followers with open arms.

They are the caretakers of all temples and rule over them, similar to how the gods rule over each of their domains.

	~~== History ==~~
	The fall of the ancient Anjyarri Empire, the warring and later rebuilding of Khadan tribes, and the eventual arrival of the Dark Elves in the year 0 A.F.S. in the Anjyarr regions paved the way for many changes. The Dark Elves looked upon the shattered tribes and sought a way to unite them again. Their "inferior" gods and religion had not done much good other than bring destruction, and the concept of immortality was quickly swept away from the 'Lunn's minds. However, they were surprisingly welcomed and began sharing knowledge, music, and art. What made them realize, however, is that many tribes of the Khadan began wandering about their long age, and soon many began to worship the Dark Elves for their long lives, which the Khadan saw as gifted by their old deities.
	The Dark Elves used this opportunity but still needed a way to eliminate the ancient gods. They spoke with the many priests and high-ranking Khadan of each tribe, enlightening them of their Azari God, Fineall.

	In the year 2 A.F.S., a man known as "The Philosopher" appeared in the city of Zenfey, the capital of the Zenither region. His name was never truly recorded, and neither were his true origins. Yet, he was known as a Khadan priest who wandered from settlements across the realm. Both religions influenced him, and here, around the Ifraq River, the core basics of philosophy were embraced again, and a revision was made to the current faith of the Khadan. His most fundamental teachings were that he was not divine, nor were the old gods, and that the people should give up superstition and the trappings of organized religion in favor of scientific and atheistic rationalism.


	To the Philosopher, religion wasn't the basic need of life. It was to live by your choices: choices of good and helping to improve the world. The gods were not regarded as deities but as guides in spirit or mortal form. Both the old Golden Pantheon of the Khadan and the Dark Elven Pantheon fell under this change. Over the course of years of his pilgrimages, gatherings, setting examples of holy deeds, and his word spreading across the desert, the gods slowly started to lose their divinity and meaning for the people who embraced this new philosophy he brought forth. It showed more benefits: fewer strict rules to follow in life, less reliance on godly figures, no deities that would judge you, and depictions of the world and its importance to be less divine and more explained through science.

	After his passing in the year 20 A.F.S, the priests began to twist his words into a new religion, for they saw that it was necessary to fulfill their basic human psychological desires and provide protection from the real supernatural threats that existed in the world of Eseron. The original philosophies of the Philosopher worked against him and instead created a new religion. By only living a life of good deeds for the betterment of the world, you would be rewarded in a place amongst the stars: the Light of Iʂik. The Tarik il Iʂik, as it became known, quickly spread across the realm like wildfire and caught the interest of all races living in Anjyarr. It was never the goal of The Philosopher to create a new religion. To an extent, it even influenced change in the Cult of Fineall, with some of the philosophies being adapted into the religion of the Dark Elves. Some even entirely abandoned Fineall to embrace the Iʂik, much to the surprise and disapproval of the Elven priests. For the Kha'mal tribes, which now roamed the desert as nomadic societies, they never fully embraced this new religion and instead named their faith the Tarik Ejelkhi: The Golden Path, or the Old Path. A belief that still held a majority of the old practices. Some of these nomads would flock to various cities, their cults being absorbed by the temples of Iʂik that were now raised in almost every settlement. And some of them even became loyal servants to the ruling class.

	In the modern day, the Tarik il Iʂik plays a huge part in the society of both man and elf in Anjyarr. It is an open religion, one where all, no matter their past or religious background, are welcomed. While the religion mainly remained within the borders, and played roles in many events throughout the history of Anjyarr, the Iʂik and its branches have shaped Anjyarr into what it is today and have slowly began to spread its influence across the continent.
