The Khun Civil War

The Khun Civil War, also known in the Khun tongue as the Khun Irgenii Dain, was an important religious, political, and military event in Khun culture. It took place during the 8th Era.

The Two Factions
The two major parties were the Ariun Khumuus and the Unan Kumuus, both consisting of Khun from Khumuus Vant.

The Third God Movement
The two sides fought due to the rise of the Unan Gurval, or Third God Movement, a heretical splinter from the Orthodox Gurval, the faith the Khun had followed for thousands of year.

Orthodox Gurval states that the Burkhad, the trinity of the gods consists of Tenger, Gazar, and Ariun.

But Unan Gurval says this doesn't make sense. Ariun is not a true god, but a Tenger-Elch, or angel. She was a mortal human whose fate was altered by Tenger, becoming one of his immortal messengers and servants. The only solution must be that there is a third, unknown god who hide themselves from the Khun. Though important, she is no more significant than Chuuluu or Setgel, two similar Tenger-Elch originally from Basho.

The Khun keep no records of the past, having no written language at all, keeping history known through the oral stories of the high priests, the Shuvuu and Shulam. But the Unan Gurval saw relics of the missing 11th Ovog Clan, the mysterious Tsagaan Ovog, or White Clan. Suspecting their unknown third god had something to do with this lost clan and their disappearance, they dubbed their new god the Tsagaan Tsarai or White Faced One, to contrast Tenger's role as the Khar Sarai, or Black Faced One.
