Saints

The categorization of Saints on Ximizhlum
Ximi saints are divided into the following categories. From lowest tier to highest tier.

As is the case with all with humans, some locations might have different saints. Where in one place a person might be considered a saint, in another, they may not be.

Lesser Saint
This title generally belongs to the average saint, someone who has done great deeds and has been deemed blessed by the divinities.

Saints tend to be popular in larger areas and are generally seen as good people, though questionable folk may occasionally become saints, too.

A Lesser Saint, for example, would be someone like Saint Rodokuki, Saint Fagrinya, Saint Bafko, or Saint Kaori the Just.

Greater Saint
Unlike the previous title, this one is very rare and only a few have ever been bestowed with it.

Generally, to be considered a Greater Saint means that you have the support of the entire human race, or even several countries.

Some of the examples of Greater Saints are well known heroes, such as Greatsaint Saladin of Rodok, Greatsaint Bjorn Varkamblood, Greatsaint Ragaseriye, and, naturally, the two first children of Ximizhle, Greatsaint Kovnoz and Greatsaint Takeda.

Greatest Saint
A very fancy title, given to only one person in all of Ximi history; to Ximizhle, the very first human, the Greatmother of all.

Though Ximizhle is technically a goddess, being born from the divinities Kolyat and Matane, humans were banned from worshiping her as such because the gods saw her as inferior and as the source of all their problems. In turn, humans decided to not officially worship her as a goddess, but as a saint, the so called Greatest Saint, thus cheekily bypassing and dodging the wrath of the divines.
