	In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity. These two were Egjen, Lord of Balance and Justice, and Végzet, the Primordial Chaos. For an eternity the two had existed in constant conflict, as Végzet sought to consume Egjen entirely and bring about pure and eternal chaos. So ravenous was her hunger that Egjen needed to fight back against her constantly, he could never win, only hold her off.		In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity.

	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 [[Hollenberg\|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.
