Arsahan
From Aryez
Arsahan, आरसाहान, 大道 sometimes referred to as Aryesahan means "noble or Aryezi paths to seeking the truth, reality, or answers to the questions of life." The term combines philosophical, religious, ethical, moral, spiritual, and theological aspects. It is also known as Aryezi Philosophy, Aryezi Religion, Aryezi Ethics, Aryezi Mysticism, and Aryezi Theology.
Arsahan is a term also used by both Aryezi and non-Aryezi when describing the religion of Aryez. Most Aryezi do not exclusively follow one religion; most Aryezi people do not believe in just one exclusive religion; instead they incorporate the features of numerous Aryezi philosophies and religions in their daily lives in a process known as syncretism. Most generally, religious practice is a mix of Aralan, Anrel, Aryezduxaha, Ade, and Arva and all their related cults, sects, and branches. In most usage, the word Arya is now being used to describe the religious traditions of Aryez. Arya is also known as the seven paths because it is made of seven key components: Kwestadzha/Shannarash Aralan (somewhat like Christianity), Eshanarash Aralan/Aralan (somewhat like Islam and Zoroastrianism), Ade (an ethics code dealing with societal interactions, somewhat like Confucianism), Duxa Aryeduxaha (a spirit/nature worship religion with Shamanistic and Shinto traits), Valaha/Vala Aryeduxaha (a more anthropomorphic religion filled with many deities, somewhat akin to Hinduism and Greek paganism), Anrel (a mystic philosophy system, somewhat similar to philosophical Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism), and Arha (a personal ethics code dealing with personal issues of right and wrong, honor, justice, good and evil).
These beliefs often complement each other and most people follow a mix of all of them. Very few people follow just one exclusively. As expected from this mix, there are numerous variations of many beliefs but most beliefs agree on some sort of afterlife and some sort of supreme spirit.
Included in Arsahan are:
Ade: An Aryezi ethical and moral system
Arha: An Aryezi code of honor
Aryeduxaha: A pre-Aralan religion of Aryez mostly focusing on spirits and nature
Valarism/Iruism: Non-Aryezi religions which influenced the development of Aryezi thought
Aralan: An organized religion of Aryez focusing on God and angels
Anrel: A mystic religion of Aryez focusing on the force
Aryeshnaraha: Aryezi philosophy
Aryesharha: Aryezi law and justice

Aryezi Religion: Aryeduxaha, Aralan, and Anrel
Aryeduxaha is a naturist and to an extent, shamanic, new age and animist. Although it believes that all things on the world, especially living things share a common life force, this common force is a distant, nonanimate entity. The spirits of the world are the animate entities in this religion. These spirits, most of which are nature spirits are the chief spirits that give humans inner peace and also connect them to the spiritual realm. These spirits may also intervene in human affairs. This religion encompasses a wide variety of practices, gods, spirits, and believes; while there is no formal organization or hierarchy, wise people who devote their lives to the spirits are known as "priests." There is no holy book, although an ancient collect of hymns, the Ruja is sometimes used.
