Church of Okran

"In our darkest moments came the brightest light, the Phoenix. Okran had sent us his champion, one that would restore our faith and banish the Shadow. Phoenix came with the everlasting Sacred Flame, the promise that Man would once more live free. He saved us from both shackles and beastiality and united as one with the Holy Bindings. One by one, the Dark Ones were now slain by the blade of our restored faith. When Narko's minions were subdued and Narko herself banished deep under the earth."
— Scripture of Radiance Vol. II, Holy Lord Phoenix I

History

Serving as the undeniable, rightful and most important figure of the Holy Nation and its religious practices. Okran is the deity that every man, woman and child should worship and give their life to. He is regarded as the flame, the light, the shining radiance in a world of evil and heresy.

Occording to the Book of Sacrifice Okran originated from Chitrin, a deity who sacrificed himself in order to save the planet. In doing so he split his very being into two forms, one the shining light of Okran, and the other of pure darkness, Narko. After that, according to Holy Nation scriptures and priests, Okran then cast his dark counterpart - who had once resided within his own being - down into the underworld. He himself remained the protector and guardian of the topside of the land. It is written within the holy scriptures that Narko exists in a place without light, and that she uses her darkness to corrupt and bribe the souls of mortals into sin and heresy.

This ancient doctrine of belief is one of the primary reasons women are shunned within Holy Nation society, as Okran is seen as a male figure, whilst Narko was regarded as female and evil. It also gives insight into where the primary values of the Holy Nation originated, those of fighting the darkness both within oneself and out in the world, as well as the belief that through enslavement and hard labor an individual can begin to seek redemption in the eyes of Okran.
