_, known by its believers under the name of Parovidexa (Anglic: "Holy Path") is a religion originally followed by the Veikan peoples up until the 16th century where it eventually became extinct. The _ faith traces its origins to the ancient Pre-Indo Artemian era and was one of the oldest religions to have continually existed until its extinction. Modern _ is an attempt at reconstructing the faith based off the mostly complete writings on ritual and theology left behind by believers through the centuries. Believers in _ stress the need for historical accuracy and shun the introduction of new rituals or theology into the religion.

The first attempts at reconstructing the _ faith trace their origins to Veikan nationalists in the mid-19th century, who desired to worship the faith of their ancestors. It was not until the early 1910s that the religion became organized and officially recognized as such by the Veikan monarchist government. In the modern day _ is a small but growing religion that composes 1% of the Veikan population. Due to its origin as a nationalist reconstructed religion, _ has been faced with skepticism by the Veikan communist government, who while recognizing it have not given the religion the same attention and rights as the larger Triuvist Church.

The religion is heavily decentralized and organized in a regional basis, with no central church-like organization. Each regional _ council may have their own practices and rituals separate from those of other _ regions. This has led to a heavily varied religion where two followers may have two different beliefs while maintaining the same core belief system.

Beliefs
_ is a polytheistic religion with immanent characteristics, meaning believers believe in a wide range of gods and spiritual figures and consider natural phenomena to be manifestations of their will. An important part of this belief is the idea that the gods can be persuaded by mortals through ritual and sacrifice. The idea that all natural phenomena are manifestations of the will of the gods has led to a long tradition of many kinds of divination, with the most common forms of divination being the inspection of bird migration patterns and the analyzes of the liver of ritually killed animals (. Many other forms of divination were and still are common, with some modern _ analyzing the pattern of lightning or fire and the smoke it produces.
