Zargayusism was a religion started on Cilwelli by a Cilwellian pholosipher named Zargayus. It was the state religion of the Holy Cilwellian Empire and would dominate Cilwellian culture for centuries. The religion was based on the idea that suffering was a natural part of life and must therefore be embraced. Furthermore, Zargayusism taught that if one was faithful in the embrace of suffering he or she would live in eternal paradise.

In Zargayusism, there were two central deities, Graef and Hayweh. These two beings were said to be constating forces in the universe. Hayweh was said to be respouncable for all that was good and pleasent. While Graef was said to be the cause of all suffering and pain. According to legend, Graef and Hayweh cast lots to see who would be given the right to create the universe. Graef won and created a world filled with pain and misery.

However, the legend says that Hayweh still created another world that was filled with peace and happiness. To avoid a potentially catastrophic war, the two gods were said to have made a deal. First, mortals would live in Graef's world and if they had suffered enough they would then live in Hayweh's world.
