Modhes in T'vaqi

Modhes in T'vaqi constitute a significant portion of the population of the Nation of T'vaqi. The term encompasses any resident of the island who subscribes to the Modhes faith or its constituent ideology, including both Modhes immigrants and T'vaqi converts.

History

Early attempts by Deysachni missionaries to convert the populace of T'vaqi to Modhes were largely unsuccessful, succeeding only in creating the Modhesian Army, a terrorist group which would proceed to kill Grand Magister Sirra Voti. T'vaqi relations with Deysachin declined afterwards, especially during Modhes Millitaria's land invasion of T'vaqi in the Tricade War.

Modhes in T'vaqi were granted religious freedom and legal recognition in 69 PC as part of a bill passed by Grand Magister Piqo Thipoqo. The bill was made as part of the Lambent Concordat, the treaty that ended the Tricade War. Newly-converted Modhes began flocking to the town of Viqho after the bill was passed, since the settlement had been ceded entirely to Deysachin.

Notably, most Modhes converts in T'vaqi are not religious. In a 77 PC public survey, 30% of self-identified Modhes reported having taken part in any form of religious ritual (including prayer), and only 11% reported doing so regularly.

Anti-Modhes sentiment

Due to the often-strained relations between T'vaqi and Deysachin, a negative societal attitude has been placed on the Modhes faith. Many citizens hold a disdain for the religion, and several politicians (including Havo T'l) are openly anti-Modhes. The No-brain movement is notable for its extreme prejudice against the faith; numerous instances of anti-Modhes violence are attributed to juvenile delinquent No-brains.
