The Bamshimbakkadan religion, which held sway here, believed that the worlds of Aadii, including Shazeku itself, represented various aspects of goodness and virtue. Conversely, the worlds of Kuusi represented vice, the underworld and other evils. Although the religion is long gone, many Shazekuans remain superstitious about Kuusi.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
During the Long Night, Shazeku was governed by a pantheist religion known as the Bamshimbakkada. Ita priesthood remained in power for thousands of years, but eventually was toppled by a revolution a few decades after the world was integrated into the Third Imperium. The remains of Bamshimbakkada temples, state buildings, monuments and other public works have been preserved and converted for use by the modern, high-tech society.
