Holy Nation Lore
The Holy Nation believes the wasteland is a punishment, and that purity will end it. Belief like that builds empires — and graves.
The faith of Okran and Narko — how a sun-worshipping theocracy came to rule the wasteland's green heart.
The Faith
The Holy Nation worships Okran, the sun god of light and order, and condemns Narko, the moon associated with darkness and corruption. Its theology divides the world cleanly into pure and unclean.
Doctrine And Persecution
That binary doctrine drives the Nation's persecution of Shek, Hivers, Skeletons and women — anything the priesthood decides is unclean becomes an enemy of the light.
Phoenix And Power
The Holy Nation is led by the Holy Lord Phoenix and a priesthood, blending religious authority with military and political power across its green territory.
Why It Matters
The Holy Nation's beliefs shape a huge portion of the map's safety and danger, and its conflict with the Shek is one of Kenshi's central tensions.
