Zakarum
,no edit summary
==Background==
The Zakarum religion was started well before the mid-twelfth century based on the visions of [[Akarat]]. It is said that he started the religion after the visit of [[Archangel]] [[Yaerius]] in his dreams. These visions most likely included some sort of [[Light|divine intervention]], or possibly a [[demon]]ic one.The book [[Visions of Akarat]] is likely the main holy writing for the Zakarum, but it's also possible other chronicles of Akarat's life is in existence.[http://www.diablowiki.net/Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0041]
==Organisation==
There are no detailed accounts on exactly how the Church of Zakarum is organised, but at the time of 20 years ago it was lead by a High Council, who governed the Church. A [[Que-Hegan]], also known as a '''Great Patriarch''' lead the Council. There might have been additional ranks to the Church, but somewhere under the High Council there was Arch Bishops, Bishops, Priests, Priestesses and , [[Paladin]]s, nuns[http://www.diablowiki.net/Visions_of_Akarat] and monks.
Of course, this was when [[Sankekur]] was the leader of the Zakarum, and embodiment of Mephisto, so they might have moved away from this.
