Ayanism

Ayanism is a form of radical humanism and and atheism codified by Ayana Oumbengo around the onset of the Slow Burn. Ayana garnered a receptive audience through the world's failing communication systems, and her messages and thoughts have resonated through the subsequent millennia under her name. At its heart, Ayanism espouses:

• Empathy for all things.
• Responsibility for one's actions.
• Rejection of spiritual agencies.
• Compulsion to better onself.
• Obligation to help others.

It is a wide-spread philosophy, with followers in Gasmithon, Jorvik, and many Borderlands. The prevalence of Ayanism and the abundance of the ubean have contributed heavily to the largely vegetarian lifestyle of the Lands.
