The Path of Truth

The Library of Khem follow the Path of Truth, a monotheistic religion and strict philosophical system wherein ones born Caste determines the Path to greatest honor within the divine tapestry of cosmic unfoldment. Though not all of the People hold this faith in their hearts they certainly make a good show of it as heresy is often punished. The Path of Truth is maintained by the People's Glorious Library. The most dramatic of their beliefs is that all of humanity shares a single soul marking the struggles of all greater than the profits of any individual. The most revered being in the path of truth is the Hermetica whom thrice born brought the Tablets of Truth and spread knowledge to the sapient races. The Hermetica is also given credit for teaching the people of Khem architecture, engineering, agriculture, writing and so on. Even today he is seen as the spirit of knowledge within us and given praise when creation is wrought. Next in line of worship is Gaia who through the Ozians, Khemists learned they were all a part of. Gaia (as the planet and all on it) is viewed reverently by those on the Path of Truth as many try to breathe as one with her, especially among the Servile. Gaia worship is of course closely linked to the worship of Ta (the sun), Bringer of Dawn, Flame of Truth, Heart of the Path. Ta is seen as the source of all life by those of Khemist faith.

Funerary Rites

Dakhma,(Inglish: “tower of silence”), Khemish funerary tower erected on a hill for the disposal of the dead according to the Khemist rites. Such towers are about 25 feet (8 m) high, built of brick or stone, and contain gratings on which the corpses are exposed. After vultures have picked the bones clean, they fall into a pit below, thereby fulfilling the injunction that a corpse must not suffer contact with either fire or earth.
