Trangism

Trangism (Citrang: ཡེལ ཌྷཱཉཥི Yel Traňzi) is an indigenous religion of the Citrang people and the state cult of the Crescent Empire, though it's also practiced in the Zatay peninsula. The earliest records of the practice of Trangism date back to the year 900 B.W. in the Awfai Sea basin. It's considered an integral part of the Citrang national identity, and it's practiced by over 90% of the Citrang people, though the faith is also practiced by the Zatay and Boyyin ethnic groups, alongside other faiths.

The word Trangzi (ཌྷཱཉཥི traňzi, alternatively ཌྷཱཉརུ traňru) in Citrang means "pertaining to the heavenly order (traň)", a complex concept referring to the balance of all things in existence. Followers of the Trangist faith worship three main figures: Aqōyelmai, the Mother of the Eight Paths, who is sometimes considered the main deity of Trangism; the Omulāwň (Prince Sun), bearer of the sacred sun disk and the Ērdai (Lord Moon), bearer of the great white moon. These three figures compose the Traňren, the three aspects of the heavenly order, which ensure the absolute balance of the universe.

Types of trangruism
There are several different religious expressions of the Trangist faith that have developed over the centuries. Different schools of thought based on the Trangist core ideas have emerged since the Age of Silver; Crescent Emperors Ethulmeng, Ernimcaw, Wamwuwl and Cawlyuwo stressed on the persecution of schools of thought that differed from the core trangruism practiced by the Imperial Family and the Trang temples associated with it.


 * Core Trangism (བཝེཚུནཡེལ Bwequnyel) the most practiced form of Trangism and the school of thought practiced by the Imperial Family. Its practices are based on the texts of the Wuwlwershawtrangru, the True Testament of Heavenly Order, a compilation of myths and practices written around 39 B.W. by Suwisow, a wandering monk who later presented the testament to the Dai of Sengor Yeg Weli. With the conquest of the Citrang domains by Ath Engshu in 184-186 A.W. these practices and myths became widespread throughout all of the nine provinces.
