-Ninism all but rejects standard Cahyalic views on gods and divinity. Instead of the existence of 14 individual gods, it is believed that there are 14 aspects to divinity: life, death, light, dark, fate, nature, travel, emotion, justice, war, mind, knowledge, body, and soul. These are manifestations of the Ancient Wind's will on this world and for Ninite priests who are able to perform divine magic, they draw power from the Greater Divinity through one of these aspects. Each one of the great saints is seen as the patron of one of these aspects.+Ninism all but rejects standard Cahyalic views on gods and divinity.

-The central religious text of the Ninite religion is a collection of teachings that was compiled by St. Thoth in decades following Ninos’ execution. The Book is split into 3 sections: Ninos’ Wisdom, Druid’s Wisdom, and Dahabu’s Wisdom. Ninos’ Wisdom is focused on the life of Ninos and what he had taught during the Oxian Uprising. The Druid’s and Dahabu’s Wisdom is stated to be Thoth’s study of the theological heritage of Ninos’ teaching. Druid’s wisdom was written during his mission in Vervand and Dahabu’s Wisdom came from his study of the Orthodoxy of the 14.+The central religious text of the Ninite religion is a collection of teachings that was compiled by St. Thoth in decades following Ninos’ execution.
