 === Origins & Myths ===
-The Cahyalic religion came about many millennia ago in Dahabu. Theories suggest that an ancient Dahabi cult or priest made contact with Jaern in this ancient time, and with that contact came knowledge of the gods - who came to cast their gaze on this new plane and take care of it in addition to their home plane. During Dahabu's conquest of the world in the third to fifth millennia, Cahyalism was spread across the world and has staked a significant foothold in every place that was ever touched by Dahabi influence.

During Dahabu's conquest of the world in the fifth to eighth millennia, Cahyalism was spread across the world and has staked a significant foothold in every place that was ever touched by Dahabi influence.
 Some origin stories and myths regarding specific gods, especially more recent happenings localized to Jaern, may not be the same in Cahyali. Many gods (such as Vormaxia, Anubis, and Zepherin) are not known to have once been mortal, and such a belief is considered heretical in many circles. Certain divine aspects may appear more or less often on Cahyali, depending on differences in belief.
 === Variations in Worship ===
-Over the centuries and centuries of Cahyali worshiping the Jaernian gods, notable variation has appeared regarding their domains. Cahyalians see Vahrun as not only the god of the sea, but of the wind, and they believe that Vahrun resides in the deepest depths of Esrior's Fold, for example. In addition, Tenebrius is more of a boogeyman figure and a children's bedtime story than a proper deity; many don't believe they exist at all. Tenebrians have not been seen publicly in many years.

-Some cultures may not worship all fourteen gods, or may prioritize some greatly over others. For example: worship of Julius, Seherine, Marutuk, and Arakh is outright banned in Ley'Ork, while Buyuk Vahsi practically only worships Julius and Thoth. Worship of the gods is even combined at times; the underground land of Itlan-Youali worships Peregrinus, Tenebrius, Anpu, Aset, and Seherine as a single deity of cycles called Tlayahucoatl, and the Shinneok Papal Church is monotheistic: worshiping all fourteen Cahyalic gods as illuminated saints under a single, mysterious god.

 ===== Spiritual Traditions =====
-On Jaern, the nomadic culture rejects the fourteen gods out of anger and enduring spite for wrongdoings far in the past, electing instead to follow their own religion and wield spiritual magic. Similar spirituality exists on Cahyali, but the nomadic religion well known on Jaern is not the only form of non-divine religion here. Instead, spiritualists of Cahyali may belong to a variety of indigenous or local religions.
