Bazsmaal

Baſmaal is a cultist religion that worships fire and sees the Sun, who they call the Glorious Father, as the supreme creator of everything. The religion has lost major ground recently, due to overexposure to the main religions. Only 26 Baſmaalians still follow their religion in a remote area in the Kharidian desert.

Beliefs
The Baſmaal believe that one day, which they call the Gælljin, the Sun will engulf Gielenor and the followers shall be martyred and resurrected on a new planet, the Yagealii, where an empire led by the religion dominates evey aspect of life. This is the first and foremost belief in Baſmaal. A sacred ceremony called the Capboon-Jya is performed at the tmeple's top floor every night at the stroke of midnight. The ceremony involves the intoxication of a volunteer Baſmaalian, who is made drunk to within an inch of life with scotch. The man is then placed on a bloodstone altar, and all present begin to chant. The man's clothes are soaked with olive oil and a lit black candle is placed on his chest. He is then tapped thrice on the forehead, and everyone stops chanting. All present then place their left hand over the candle until they are burned severly. The drunken man is then burnt across the forehead with a torch. A prayer is made to the "Glorious Father", and the man's clothes are set alight. The flames continue to burn his skin until he is severly blackened, and he is then covered in wet sand up to the neck. He is left to heal for three days in the temple's infirmary.
