Yatamni is the tritheistic ethnic religion of the Jihuthi people.
Although the Jihuthis were originally polytheistic, their own legends speak of how several centuries ago, their chief god, Ichunu, descended to Troyosha—the capital city of their greatest empire—and commanded them to cease worshiping all divinities save for him, his brother Nihuri, and his daughter Coyone.
Etymology
Similarly to Saphorism, Yatamni is a native word whose meaning has been distorted by Lucians, who use the term to refer collectively to the religious beliefs and practices of the Jihuthis. However, in truth, Yatamni refers to the entire way of life of the Jihuthis; it includes their customs, laws, mores, taboos, language, food, holy days, and religious practices. Referring to Yatamni as the "religion" of the Jihuthis is an oversimplification at best and a misunderstanding at worst.
