Andeanism

Andeanism is the religious practise of the Ancient Andean Culture and the later Inkhan civilisations that evolved from the region, it is considered one of the largest and most organised religions of the world due to the sheer amount of civilisations that have sponsored this as a state religion.

Ancestors
It is widely believed that the ancient Inkhan city states and Pre-Inkhan-period Andean religion featured heavily the worship of Ancestors as gods, however as recorded by modern day oral traditions of the region by professor Red D.N. Medalla shows that these ancestors were by and large nameless except for a few which were normally recorded in the ancient Hurlattu scrolls such as the famous Inkhan hero Uthar who is said to be the founder of the original Inkhan cities or the Dai Cities and also the ancestor of the monarchy of these cities and kingdoms.

These ancestors were prayed to by a system of temples and sacred trees, these sacred trees were carved into a face and believed to have been linked to several battle sites such as the Xin Mountain Mass Grave happening around this tree, it is also believed during the Beautiful Apocolypose a lot of Andean society was brought to its knees but they found that these sacred trees still bloomed with fruit and none of them were harmed.

The Long Night
A large tradition found in the oral and written logs of the Andeans was the concept of a long night, where the ancestors were predicted to lose a battle to a great snake demon and plunge the world into darkness, this in turn will cause most of the world to die except for the Andes where one thousand generations were said to die before there are enough ancestors to finally overpower the snake demon and the bring sun back up into the sky. This thought tends to go against Andean Nationalist ideals of extreme isolationism as it is a commonly held belief that the snake demon was borrowed from the Snake Tribes and may also be a demonization of the snake god in the eastern Andean civlisations, as this story is only present in the western and northern Andean cities.

Refounding
Another widely held tradition amongst the Andeans was the Refounding myth or the myth of the comet, it was widely held that the original founder of the Dai Cities, Uthar Dai Inkha was first born under the sign of the comet and then again under its sign he built every single one of the Dai cities, it is unknown which comet it refers to or how many comets passed Earth at the time. It is also reported that during the Andean Dark Age a comet was spotted going over the sky as agriculture was rediscovered and then a subsequent comet for when every city returned to a more agricultural state. As such the Andeans would bow to pray before the sign of comets and often has blazing balls of fire thrown over the crops to replicate the comet.
