Holodomatic School

The Holodomatic School (Literary Kaikian ὁλοδωματικα, "of the Whole Household") is the dominant religious movement in the County Palatine of Kezan. It derives primarily from the Kaikian Antican Tradition, with influences from other regional Antican traditions such as Providentialism and Aryashti Sattva, as well as the non-Antican Elwynnese religion, due to the early introduction of Elwynnese advisers and their families to help establish the government and economy in Kezan. The Holodomatic School emerged among the refugees of the Kaikian Diaspora following their resettlement in Kezan. It has since spread beyond and taken root in other communities in parts of Shireroth and Natopia.

Practice

Rituals and for the purpose of bringing adherents closer to unity (ἑνωσις) with the Second Power, who will in turn bring them into unity with the First Power.

Antecedents and Influences

A majority of the population of Kezan is Kaikian Antican in origin, bringing their religious traditions with them. Many in Kaikias -- as well as many non-Kaikian Anticans who joined the diaspora -- also belonged to a mainland religious tradition. When they arrived in Kezan as refugees, they met Aryashti Anticans, who had already been stablished within Shireroth and were helping to facilitate their resettlement (some even settling themselves), and Elwynnese political and economic advisers and their families. The people who would go on to found the Holodomatic School interacted with these different peoples and their different understandings of the world and the nature of the divine. In some cases, they adopted ideas, while in other cases, they assumed contrary positions.
