Nashadism (faith)
Parent: Zaoranism
Nashadism properly emerged in the wake of the Massacre of the Ten Heirs. However, many Zaoranian thinkers such as Arvashdān Izhākhet, along with the local population, had already begun questioning the long-held belief that legitimacy passed solely through blood. Dissatisfaction with both past and present rulers led them to argue that struggle and righteousness solely determined a ruler's right to rule.
Ironically, in an effort to gain further traction across Amsar and strengthen their political position, they rallied behind Nashad. Who was the alleged surviving son of Qanamsar Parashād's eldest heir, and rejected the 'usurper' Qanamsara Tōvah. To the Nashadi, the rightful line of succession passed through Radesh and his son Nashad, whom they believed was destined to lead them to prophesied victory. Even after his death and the failure of the Emerald Rebellion, his most ardent followers insisted that he had hidden away a child who would one day reclaim his birthright.
