Jainism
Start writing...Vardhamana Mahavira was born in 599 BCE in a village near Vaishali (Capital of Videha). He is considered to be a contemporary of the Buddha.

The Soil Reader. Content Warning.
The King stares at me. All them in the palace do, every time. Well, not Geoff. Geoff makes me turn away. I appreciate that about the royal scribe. But these divine rule types, crowned in holy purpose, look right at me. Mind you, I don’t dare make eye contact. Not ever. I don't need to see to know. I can feel their gazes boring into me, full of judgment and distaste. They stare to remind me of me place in this world. Don’t look up, wretch. Don’t look up. But because of me place in this world, what do I know from Kings and queens and dukes and them others? Could be they're just thick-headed, dim-witted, the touched children of sibling lovers. Don't think much about it. I do me job and I do it well, just like Da before me. Da served the Irish Kings and they were a rough lot. Ate a lot of mutton, I suspect. Mutton don’t come out well. Digests fine, but the slurry it produces is putrid.

THE HISTORY OF THE OGBA PEOPLE
Ogba history is replete with activities and events pioneered by great individuals. These personalities have, through their physical and mental powers changed the course of history. Consciously or not, they have been able to leave their footprints in the sand of time. Unfortunately, some of these great deeds have slipped into oblivion. Basic reasons account for this sad development. ...staying within the realm of oral tradition for a very long time before being documented. This has resulted in distortion of facts. Ogba, as a nation is less than 600 years old but the imprecision in its history is overwhelming. The loosed or inaccurate account of events have resulted in the noticeable cracks we find on the body of Ogba tribe today. However, Ogba historians must continue to objectively dig into the past with the view to finding the missing links.

Yoruba Orisha Ogun: The God of War
Ogun is a Yoruba (African) Orisha God who was a real person who went by the name Alakaaiye from the kingdom of Ife (Yorubaland), and he was an Ife king during medieval Africa. Like King Oduduwa of the Ife Kingdom, King Ogun was also deified by the Yoruba people because he lived a great earthly life. Early Yoruba people cosigned smelting, and the fabrication and the use of iron tools, to the patronage of one of their most senior deities, the god later known as Ogun, who was from earlier times worshiped as the patron god of all working folks of Yorubaland. Ogun may have possibly been the first of such Yoruba gods, hence his situation as “Osinmole” (first, or king, among the earliest spirits or gods). In medieval Yorubaland (present-day Southwest Nigeria, a smaller part of Benin Republic, and still a small part of Togo Republic), the cult of Ogun became a special royal cult, and Ogun became, in addition to being the god of iron, also the god of war – the giver of victory in war.
