Etymology

The name Kin is a Kamuran formal title refering to a mother figure, in this case the mother goddess of the religion Kin Puxem which translates as the Mother of Dawn, the single most paramount divine being within this faith. The faith as a whole is also referred to as Kintiw which is a condensed name translated as the Cult of Kin.

Origins

Kin is an indigenous religion that developed among the Shriaav people of the Kamuran Archiapelago in anicent times likely with roots in prehistoric folklore. Written records of religious beliefs and practices associated with the Kin religion date back to the late 5000s and the emergence of the formalised belief system defined the Murawen Civilisation to a large extent. Through subsequent centuries from this early formation the Kinnite faith has changed and adapted but a consistant core character of the faith has remained the same since the 6600s when the Kamuran Empire was unified and the Empress became a major central figure within the structure of the religion.
