Faith of Sublanarya: The Many Faces of Sahasranama (Bonus: Dyeus, Tefnas, Shanka, Kartavirya, Narakasura)
Sahasranama is the almighty god of the Hamutian pantheon. He is part of a trimurti but Brahma, who acts as the creative force, and Shiva, who acts as the destructive force, arguably serve Sahasranama's vision for the universe. There are other interpretations of this relationship and some cults emphasize one of the trimurti over the others, but Sahasranama is the focus of most of Raj-Hamutian mythology.
These stories usually come in the form of his avatars acting to change the world and educate the masses. The most famous of his avatars is the Rama, who has been discussed in the Ramayana, but there were six avatars before him and have been two since. There is said to be a 10th avatar on the horizon but only time will tell. Now, let's look at the various avatars of Sahasranama.

Faiths of Sublanarya: The Ramayana (Sahasranama, Brahma, Shiva, Padma, Sharada, Ravana, Vayu, Hanuman, Jatuya, Mithras, Agni, Indra)
The story of the Ramayana is a central story in Raj-Hamutian religious beliefs but also plays a big part in the cultural oeuvre of the modern Raj-Hamutian. It tells the story of Rama, a prince born in the kingdom of Yodhya and the seventh avatar of the creator god Sahasranama, and his hero's journey. It is an epic that champions of the four sutras: accordance, pursuance, love and liberation. His story is split into tomes of his life.
This article also details of most raj-hamutian dieties.
