Counter-Bazian

Overview

Counter-Bazian is a religious tradition defined in relation to Bazian Orthodox. It draws on the same scriptures and venerates the same prophets, but explicitly rejects the authority and certain teachings of the orthodox Bazian faith. Historical references tie Bazian Orthodoxy to the state religion of the Bazian Empire.

Purpose and Structure

  • Organization: The present account does not describe a hierarchy or central body for Counter-Bazian; it appears as a broad religious category rather than a single ark.

Practices
