Overview
The religion of Kasimir is the faith of the goddess Shelynn, lady of Domination, Deception and of Subjugation. It's a dark, brutal faith based upon the view that everybody falls into one or two categories: Master or slave. Both military and political in nature, the Kasimir seek to control as much of the realm as they can for their own gain, making others conform to their view of the world and how it should be. To teach people the truth of the world is the duty of any and all within the hallowed halls of Kasimir- all must know where they live on the hierarchy, they should be subjugated.

Tenets of Power
Strength takes many forms. Physical, Mental, Political. To be strong is to be a master, of yourself and those weaker or under your command. - Those without strength should know their place and subject their talents to the strength of those above them. They exist to enhance and make the strong even stronger. - To disrespect someone above your station is to invite death. Just as the worm doesn't speak back to the bird, the weak do not deserve the right to complain about their position. - To abuse your station is to be weak. Those subjected to your might are not toys, but tools. A craftsman who defiles their own tools is a fool unworthy of respect. - Those without power, who cling to the idea that they are free, or worthy of rights, are delusional.
Tenets of Secrecy
It is not the position of those who are unworthy to know the guile or plans of those they serve. - Acknowledge the strength of your enemy. To know your limitations is to be truly strong. - To speak freely and liberally is to be weak of mental resolve, and an abhorrent sin. - To monologue before victory is certain is to be weak in pride and resolve, and such weakness must always be purged.
Lore
The faith was originally started in honor of a goddess known as Kasim. now known to be a form of Sheylynn, goddess of Power and Domination and was eventually taken over by the goddess known as Kedanna for her own private gain. It has now returned to a god of Domination and a restructuring has begun. It's detractors claim Kasimir is nothing more than a place for sexual deviants only interested in pushing people into sexual slavery. While sexual slavery is indeed a part of answering to someone above you, the Kasimir's view of Master and slave extend to all aspects of life and call for total control. As all remnants of the old faith were destroyed after a war with a horde of the god of Destruction, Drugaal, the religion has slowly been reforming in a new home under the patience and calculating watch of their goddess. Kasimir believes in the rule of the law, their law.
