House Arkoh is a group within the Trade Federation House System working to revive the Arkanian-Sith culture in the Hassaria system. While much of the near-extinct culture can be reconstructed, other parts lay shrouded in mystery or lost to time. The religious tradition of the Arkanian people under Sith rule is part of those things which were lost. Under Sith'Ari Con Semper the House has established an open policy where any religious tradition that can be shown to have either been practiced on Arkania, tied to the Sith culture, or is somehow relevant to the mission of the House is permitted to be practiced and in any cases supported outright by the royal families. Currently there are three main branches of faith that most of the citizens of Hassaria fall under: Aedra, Revanism, and Sith Lord Worship.


Aedra

Aedra was an indigenous religion of the Sith people practiced before the rise arrival of the Rakatta or the rise of the Sith Empire. It centers around the deity Ashar, who many scholars believe to be an ancient Sith who transcended death and took on god-like status to the planet's population after helping his closest followers do the same. Worshippers celebrate a pantheon of ten different deities, who teach that robust inner conflict is the surest to hone one's ability and defeat all weakness and gain immortality. It is believed to have been made extinct during the rise of King Adas and was only reintroduced by Won'Kissai Ethan Travis who himself might have been an Aedra priest, preserved through the millennia. Travis discovered artifacts and teachings in an ancient temple on Tattooine and has largely been responsible for spreading these teachings throughout Hassaria through the establishment of many different temples.

Revanism

Sith Lord Worship
