Kunwidya is a monotheistic religion that originates from the island of Wadiin, mainly teaching that the Prophet is the holy messenger of God (Widya.) It is the largest[citation needed] religion on Jotunnheim with X followers.

Etymology

Beliefs

The Three Realms

Followers of Kunwidya believe in the Three Realms, the realm of the sky, the realm of the sea, and the mortal realm. They believe that the human realm is held aloft by the faith and virtues of Widya’s people, and that should the world turn away from Widya, the mortal realm will sink beneath the ocean underneath weight of its own sin to be lost forever. The realm of the sky is the realm of Widya, and the realm of heaven. Followers believe that each star in the sky represents a soul within heaven. If one ascends to the realm of heaven, it is believed they become formless, just as Widya.

Widya

Widya, being the personification of the wind and of the sky, is completely incomprehensible in form. There is no correct portrayal or idea of Widya, and is physically unable to be understood. The moral teachings of Widya however, are completely comprehensible to humanity, and thus should guide humanity wherever possible.

Practices

Texts

The main corpus of Kunwidya thought is recorded in the Zuṇunubyī (lit. “speakings”), which is a holy book recording the words of the Prophet himself.
