Pravednyy Put (Праведный путь) also known as "the Heavenly Way" is a collection of faiths in Eastern Artemia - primarily Yarova, Rovsnoska, Zaporizhia, Mursland, and Osorra. The faith broadly believes the Absolute placed "the first man" on Earth - who's wife was bit by a serpent. He prayed what in some denominations is called Svarog, in others Inti - for a new lineage. As a result he had to leave the heavenly realm and learn about evil. Later, a descendant of the first man was promised a "great kingdom" and began a linage. His various sons would form several large tribes that would be persecuted by imperial authorities. A wealthy prince came into contact with these peoples and after learning about them gave them the support needed to create a "holy kingdom". The location of this kingdom is so far unknown - but from we know it was located to the frigid North. Some archeologists have found remnants they suspect may be from these peoples but academically it is in dispute. Osorrai writers suspect it may be the (basically !Easter Island crossed with Atlantis). Their holy land was thought to be an island of great learning and technology before falling into decay when they fell from the proper path. The various tribes fled across Anterra and established monastic orders or raiding armies. According to the official history of the Vojisky empire the royal family and nobility of the empire came from descendants of these tribes. Strangely, Osorrai mythology also places great importance on such a mysterious island.
