Alwazuniyya

Alwazuniyya or Alwazunism is a term used to refer to all bokanist sects descended from the collective teachings and traditions of Al-Wazůun (Sinkajji and Thalatene: Fazun, Alfazun or Sinkajji: Dêvayivayr Valsyanč Alfazun) and Adyatia (Sinkajji: Syanta Ačjača, Thalatene: Adjatia).

They consider the Kalgduni Kana that followed the Boka Kana to be illegitimate and thus generally do not believe that any of its successors are legitimate, or that any beyond Boka or Alwazun can claim rightful rule over a conjoint temporal-spiritual realm, however, there are exceptions.

Adyatia

Adyatia was the wife of Boka and his most staunch supporter in life and as such is a figure of importance to all sects.

She has special relevance within the Alwazuniyya sect, in part as the one who proselytized and converted sinkajja, and is the core saint venerated within the sect only outshined by Boka as the prophet.

Alwazun

Alwazun was the nephew of Boka by part of his younger and only still living brother post-revelation Kaaim, whom died during the war against Asusphanius, and thus heir apparent. However, after Adyatia's defeat at the gates of Mejridi she and the then twelve year old Alwazun would flee with several of their supporters into Sinkajja, then under Meysamzi rule.

Early Years

During that period Alwazun would study theology, natural sciences, history, strategy and practice swordsmanship and archery. He would eventually become both a proeminent jidaustah

He would end up gathering followers of his own throughout his wanderings, both through preaching and theological debates with other proeminent bokanist theologians and clergy.

Military carrer and Revolution

He would eventually join the army, quickly rise into the status of a Meysamzi lesser officer, and after the ambush and annihilation of a substantial ammount of the former staff, would turn to be the most proeminent general during the conquest of Atlantia, being responsible for the defeat of their main army at Mariultos.

After years of internal struggles within Meysamzi the old sinkajji clergy managed to wrestle control over the government from the waning power of Hani, son of Iqqwa, whose power had been mostly taken up by the Council of 50. The old clergy would call for, and after the assassination of Hani, successfully crucify Adyatia and other six proeminent jidaustahin, however that would lead to the alienation of all bokanists and moderates within the empire, and ultimately, lead into Alwazun rebelling alongside the bokanist jidaustahin residing within Sinkajjà and their allies within the lower nobility and peasantry, and thus, ultimately, the the fall of Meysamzi and the reestablishment of Sinkajjà under Alwazun.

Bokanist Conquest, Exile to Atlantia and Legacy

In the northeast, the remnants of the Meysamzi nobility would be wiped out in battle against the Kalgduni Kana, which had started a campaign of conquest of the west following the crucifixion of Adyatia.

Sinkajjà would ultimately fall to the Kalgduni general Aljazar, Alwazun would however ultimately defeat him at Šarayanšèh and ensure Atlantia's independence.

Kalgdun would die and be followed by his son, Alšabib, who would take a more moderate stance towards Alwazun and the alwazunites, aknowledging them as people of the book and granting them protection.

This would end briefly with the end of the Saakenite Kana through the death of Alšabib and Aljazari supremacy in the region, however the Aljazaris would themselves be overthrown by Alwazun's disciple Shadu.

Alwazun, whilst in Atlantia, would found the basis of what would later become the western church. He was a major sponsor of education, as well as a major proponent of human sciences, with the understanding that knowing the relationship of sentient beings (prjjčkêyn) to the world and themselves, would be fundamental to correctitude and the maintenance of the holy covenant.

He died in martyrdom five years into his realm, being tortured and crucified after being betrayed in the Ginsukyan-Alwazunite War.

Following that, traditionally it is told that he ascended into the realm of Auster once more as his messenger (mallăk, also interpreted as angel). He is claimed to guide the western church from said position.

Debates on the nature of Alwazun were rampant, but most alwazunite sects tend to regard Alwazun as being an angel incarnated, created by Auster, sent to Oikia to ensure the covenant wasn't broken after the death of Boka. He is conflated with the Agara's angel Khabră'il (Sinkajji: Xavriyil).
