Equilibrium of Pain

The Equilibrium of Pain is a religious concept in Navmesic religions. It states that, since the Navmesa is a balancing force, the act of self-mortification takes pain and suffering away from others.
The Equilibrium of Pain is part of accepted doctrine in the Court of Niran, but seen as non-canonical mysticism in the Luvera Orthodoxy and Shamashine. Some Shamashites even see it as heresy.
The Equilibrium of Pain doctrine was believed to have first sprouted up among the lower-class Shamashine-influenced Tyfilian faiths during the mid-800s MT.
