Pantulkonism

Pantulkonism is a religion that was founded in 750 BT by the prophet Nima. The religion started off as a movement within Tulkonism, but grew into its own faith entirely. With Tulkonism and Prophetism, it forms the Three Tulkonist Religions. It is the world's fourth-largest religion.

History
Nima was a Nokin Tulkonist nun who grew to be dissatisfied with the state of Tulkonism. She felt that, rather than being a true, personal religion, Tulkonism had simply become a faith solely devoted to the Tulkon and the Tulkonist Council without placing any importance on personal growth and responsibility. She formed her movement, called the New Tulkonists, that grew in size over time. Eventually, it became the faith of Pantulkonism. It grew to be practiced mostly by Nokin Humans, but Pantulkonist minorities exist all over the globe. Prior to her death, Nima named a successor, who became the first Niman, the leader of the religion. The current Niman can trace the line of succession all the way to Nima herself. The Niman does not carry much power, but is still an important figure. As of 3090 AT, the current Niman is Akja, a half-Human half-Orc from Nokina.

Pantulkonists were prosecuted during the Immortal War. After the war, Tulkon Vonha opened the doors of the Temple of the Tulkon to Pantulkonists and Prophetists.

Beliefs
Pantulkonism shares many beliefs with its parent religion. However, it differs in the concept of an Ilho; rather than all people having their own unique Ilho, all people and living things are part of the same universal fabric, called the Ilhui, which shares the same name as the Tulkonist afterlife realm. Divinity resides within all beings (hence the term Pantulkonism), living or non-living, and the Tulkon is just a once-a-generation concentration of life energy that acts as the Ilhui's agent on Earth. Pantulkonists believe that after death, a person's soul returns to the Ilhui. They also believe in the Tulkon Rodenhe Nemilis, but believe that Arrkea gave the essences of the Four Deities to the Ilhui itself rather than solely to Bytu; Bytu was chosen by the Great Conscience to be the agent of the Ilhui, and Arrkea was simply a messenger who awakened Bytu's power.

Pantulkonists are expected to be kind and giving to others, so as to preserve the universal Ilhui. This places much emphasis on personal responsibility and conduct, concepts also preached in the sister religion of Prophetism. Pantulkonism preaches that all people, plants, animals, and all things are part of the Ilhui, so natural conservation is a central tenet of the religion. While the Tulkon is a very revered figure, they are not directly worshipped by Pantulkonists.
