Ntur Scroll ("Na-TUR Scroll")
The Ntur Scroll is the primary religious text of the Jinn Satet, or Jinn Church. It contains mythologies of the Jinn (which are accepted as canon by the Satet), religious legal framework, and guidance on religious practice.
Document Structure
Clauses
The scroll is compiled first with narrative history of Aerit and of the Jinn. Following is a codex of legal framework, including direction on the composition of the state, governing powers, and civil obedience. The third section is a devotary of sorts, in the vein of the Roman Catholic Breviary and the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.
Publication Status
There are three copies of the Ntur Scroll. One is kept in the Pyramid of Zakhara; one is kept in the Other Jinn Satet in the southern cities; one is regarded as lost. Only the Illuminated Emperor and the Wharh of the Satet are permitted to access it, though others are permitted to view it under their supervision.
Legal status
The Jinn Empire adheres to Luminism as a state religion, and therefore uses the Ntur Scroll as a basis for all other state and legislative documents.
Historical Details
Background
The document was engraved under the supervision of Zakhara and her peers on a sheet of rolled lucidus, the only lucidus artifice of its kind. It is the compilation of Zakhara's personal experiences, historical documents that predate Zakhara herself, and philosophy agreed upon by the jinn leaders of the time (passed off as endorsed by Alfhen herself).
Legacy
This document is the best preserved of its kind in all of Jinn societies. The people of the Jinn Empire, including many human and Svartali citizens, accept it as doctrine and adhere to the tenets dictated therein, even if some do not accept it as real truth.
