Tohadal (Dirhassian: tohodalún, tr. Tohodalún [tɔˈxɔðɑlu:n]), also known as Gøvjú, is an Ashno-Verethian religion based on the teachings of the Ghashesihun and the prophet Walghash. It has a wide pantheon of deities, ranging from forces of nature to personification of specific bodies of water.
Etymology
The name Tohadal is interpreted from the Kholic name *toħadal, literally meaning "way of the eye". The religion is also sometimes referred to as gøvjú and gøvy in the Hashdezi Empire and Agisia, ultimately from the Old High Hashdezi word gøvjun, meaning "belief, faith".
