Egjenism is a dualist Religion, first formalized by Miklos Némann after the translation, bridging-together and summarising of old proto-danúvian scrolls. It once acted as formal state religion of the nations of Danúvia, Mustyria and Danúvia-Scneimunt. But due to the spreading of Pyrannism in Mustyria and the Scetétian Translation by Nykol Haartmann, only a few isolated communities remain in the country of Hollenberg (formerly Danúvia-Scneimunt). The Dual Church of Egjenism is officially defunct and the position of Équator remains vacant ever since.
Teachings
The teachings of Egjenism offer the follower two different paths to walk on.
the Path of Fén
the path of Fén, which encourages a spiritual, communal and simple way of life. Often pursued by people from lower social classes, such as workers and slaves
The Path of Scetét
The path of Scetét, which encourages a materialist, individualist and more luxurious way of life. Often pursued by members of the upper social classes, such as merchants, nobles and members of the bourgeoisie.
Dualism and acceptance
While opposing life styles are being taught by the 2 patrons, followers of Egjenism are expected to respect the other path and there are even those that "walk both parts", choosing to follow what they believe is the best from both worlds.
Dualist Church of Egjenism
The dualist Church of Egjenism was a single Organisation and the official institution of the Egjenist faith. It was headed by the so called "Equatór" who acted as unifier and ensured continuing co-existence, acceptance and cooperation between the paths of Fén and Scétet.
The Equator was selected by the most prestigious Egjenists of Danuvia.On one hand,by Scetétian bishops that have risen in rank, making use of their skills, heritage and influence, on the other hand by popular priests of Fén that have garnered support from the commoner to be able to fullfil their purpose as dedicated follower of Fén and Egjenism.
