Since its founding, Þunan Qumreá has prayed to the 5 deities of the Śácamþaśáń Pantheon and feared the 4 evil souls. This manner of worship is known as Śácamþaśáń Pentatheism. On the 21st of April, Hilja announced the extension of the pantheon with Ætérnal as the sixth deity, known as Þunan Qumreáń Hexatheism. Following this date, the Charlottist Ætérnalism inside Hexatheism began to spread as a standalone religion, particularly in Saxland. Nonetheless, this pure Ætérnalism is not condoned by the government of Þunan Qumreá.

Áj j/a, the Ocean

In Þunan Qumreá, Áj is likely the primary deity of worship, and her symbol jo ‘water’ even appears on the flag of the country. She has the most extensive temple in Þunan Qumreá, off the coast of Ájásiq. Áj is thought to be responsible for the seasons, hence why the lunisolar calendar of Þunan Qumreá is named jUfa j/a Áj Fájy. She brings the rains vital for crop growth, but also takes them away when there is time for harvest.

Áj is easily influenced by the Night Sur, who slowly corrupts her servants who bring her rains until she is forced to kill them, painting the waters red and killing its fish with the tainted blood. In addition, Sur‘s mother and son can cause her waves to crash onto land at the height of two trees, destroying all in their wake. However, she is also easily influenced by those who pray to her, and in this she is uniquely valued by the citizens of Þunan Qumreá. When the crops are withering, the country is full of blue flags, blue lanterns and blue ribbons, and Áj listens, and brings her rains. When the land is drowning and the seeds are rotting, the country fills with red, and Áj listens, kills her corrupted servants and ends the rains.
