Zamora Heresy
The Zamora Heresy is a central myth of Phoenic mythology. It concerns the rebellion of primeval man against the gods.
When Ra first created humans, he created them as four-legged, four-armed hermaphrodites. These primeval humans dwelt in edenic bliss in a world without death or disease. They were vegetarians who lived peacefully alongside animals. Then, one day, a human named Rawal heard whispers telling him of the gravest crime against the gods. It is unclear what this sin was: some argue it was killing animals and consuming their flesh, some say it was cannibalism, and others say it was magic. Whatever it was, it ended man's primordial bliss.
The sin opened Lashanti, the darkest of the hells in Phoenic mythology, releasing the black gods: the darkest and cruelest deities. These gods then warped reality, not only for humans, but also for jinn and the namen gods[1] themselves. Ashema ripped humans in two, male and female, forever damning us to seek our other half, and further cursing us by making such reunions dangerous.[2] Rengal blighted the world with disease. Sephet took away our immortal lives and cursed us to live less than a century. Zakkar shortened our lives further by forcing us to enter dark slumbers for a third of our lives, during which we are weak and vulnerable. Finally, Yacha cursed the afterlife itself: all living things were now doomed to an endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
