Jisan Wigun (Wadiin: Wīgun Jīṣān Ṭakānyan ṭū Kyanjin, 3788 - 3836 CY), known in Kunwidya simply as The Prophet (Wadiin: Ṭwa Ḍīzun), was a Wadiin religious and political leader who founded Kunwidya. He is known as the sole messenger of Widya, and united Wadiin under his religious influence.

Name and appearance

After his death in 3836 CY, the Prophet’s name and appearance were kept as a strict secret by the Experts in Wadiin. While his name became known outside Wadiin through other means, all records of his appearance have been destroyed. It is viewed as unwise to invoke the name of the Prophet for petty reasons, and thus many simply refer to him as “the Prophet.” Though all original records of his physical appearance no longer exist, it is not viewed as sacrilegious to depict the Prophet in Wadiin, though his face is often obscured or undetailed, and it is viewed as unwise to depict the Prophet frivolously. Some sects however do outlaw any and all depictions of the Prophet

Revelation

During an unspecified sinful activity, the Prophet was given his first revelation from Widya. The incomprehensible form of Widya demands that the Prophet repent for his actions, and become a holy man. The Prophet was left terrified by this experience, and seeking to avoid divine retribution, the Prophet left his family and sought to sail at sea to avoid the temptations of the wider world. During his travels, he continued to receive revelations and heard the divine will of Widya spoken in the wind. Upon his return from a life at see, the Prophet began to preach his revelations to those who would listen. He would travel various cities gathering a small group of devoted followers who would help him preach and provide food to the locals.

Spread of Kunwidya

In 3820 CY, the Prophet returned to his family in X, along with his small band of followers. He converted his family and began to preach around the island, eventually ending up in X. The Prophet drew a particularly large following amongst the poor strata who were stuck in their position due to the strict caste systems of the age. His influence grew until he was able to gain an audience with the local Jiya, X, where he offered or possibly demanded conversion. Following X’s refusal, the Prophet’s followers flew into a frenzy, killing the guards and capturing the Jiya. The crowd began to riot and dismantle the local nobility through sheer force of numbers. They began to arrange the Jiya’s public execution before the Prophet intervened and reestablished order. Whether he spared X’s life in return for his conversion, or he was spared and willingly converted is unknown; but the Jiya’s conversion and resignation of power marked the end of his rule in the city. The Prophet would be declared the sole Ḍyāway of the island, and began implementing his various religious and social reforms to abolish the old caste system. As news spread of the Prophet’s overthrow of X, numerous other oppressed underclasses in nearby began to rise up in revolt and join the cause. These rebellions would spread like wildfire in the East of Wadiin, and usually ended in the quick takeover of the city. By 3824 CY, the Prophet’s domain stretched across much of Southeast Wadiin.
