| **Rahkahnja** is a major religion of the [[Continent]] based on a painting which is today known as "The Child", by an anonymous painter. It's adherents, known as Rahkahns, believe that the world is a garden created for Rahkahnja, The Child Who Walks the Universe. Rahkahnja's history is traced back to the early SR and was the main religion of Western Dantria. During the second half of SR it was exported to the east and took hold in Gantolia and Yammoe. Rahkahnja is the Continent's largest religion and is practiced by over half a billion people. | **Rahkahnja** is a major religion of the [[Continent]] based on a painting which is today known as "The Child", by an anonymous painter.

| Oaleen started as a folk religion, but eventually grew in influence. It uses a re-colored version of the Savija painting. Today it is the third largest branch and its worldview is markedly different from the rest of the three branches, as it's the only branch that does not recognize the darker color as the leading one. | Oaleen started as a folk religion, but eventually grew in influence.

| + | Talmaj is the non-mainstream branch which existed in the second half of SR in Western Dantria and was the fastest growing version of Rahkahnja by the beginning of TR. It has then begun missionary work in Gantolia. However, the fall of Western Dantria due to [[Lydian|Lydian conquests]] has hindered the enthusiasm of Talmaj missionaries who managed to preserve copies of the painting and documented the main tenets, but were unable or unwilling to further propagate the religion. Most of them have opportunistically converted to Rahkahnja Savija. | ||
