Bvarai (Pacifica)

Bvarai is a religion widely practiced by Indavrals, including their diaspora. With an estimated over 200 million practitioners, it is one of the largest non-abrahamic religions on Pacifica. It is a nontheistic religion which is based primarily on maintaining "Balance" within oneself and within the universe. Bvarai's nature allows it to coexist with other religions, making it common that Indavral diaspora syncretize it with local faiths and practices.

In Bvarai thought, the universe is in a constant state of flux between the Faikvar and the Sêlakvar, the "Violent evil" and the "Complacent evil." Bvarca, "Goodness in Balance," can only be achieved by moderating the two evils so that they are completely canceled out, thus achieving true goodness. The ostensible goal of Bvarai is to achieve "Sunranta Bvarca," or "Universal Goodness in Balance." by evening out Faikvar and Sêlakvar across the entirety of existence, therefore achieving a perfect reality.

History

The practices of Bvarai seem to originate primarily below the Bivbi. When the Indavral tribes conquered them, they mixed the Bivral thought with the Indavral legends, forming the earliest forms of Bvarai. Bvarai was a generally decentralized faith at the time, and lacked some of the elements of nontheism, with some modern Sunbvaravs being deified.
