Astamrianism or Phansyrmesta (Vektranmic: Ⲫⲁⲛⲋⲣⲙⲉⲋⲧⲁ, Fansrmesta) is one of Terraconserva's oldest continuously practiced religions, based on the teachings of the Vektranmic-speaking prophet Astamer (Vektranamic: Ⲁϣⲧⲁⲙⲣⲁ, Aštamra). Astamrianism has a dualistic cosmology of good and evil and an eschatology, predicting the ultimate conquest of evil by good. Astamrianism exalts an uncreated and benevolent deity, Ahuda (Wise Lord), as its supreme being. The unique historical features of Astamrianism, such as its monotheism, messianism, judgment after death, heaven and hell, and free will may have influenced other religious and philosophical systems, including Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam.
