-**//Nitish Ynas//** is a kavkem faith best referred to as //Tarnish//, even though its literal translation would be //cruel enchantment// (from the kavkem words [[kendane͡ivash:word:nitish]] and [[kendane͡ivash:word:ynas]]). It is a distant derivate of //[[kavkem:mythology:Taaravahr]]//.

 It has been observed to morally be a remarkably forgiving cosmology, in that it attributes no inherent evil to the [[:Nayabaru]] - but as they live in daytime, they have been badly corrupted by the light.
-Its followers necessarily try to find well-shadowed places to sleep during the day and will be terrified if they can't find it. They also tend to try to avoid eating creatures that sleep exposed to sunlight or are too active during the day, meaning they have a strong preference for nocturnal creatures that live in burrows. Since this predominantly applies to small mammals, this faith sadly coincides with a lot of [[:Serrata]] poisoning.

 Additionally, given that //Nitish Ynas// is often encountered in central Asheenagiji, where Silukaaj and Sinukaaj flank the only habitat the kavkema can inhabit, it tends to be a rather unforgiving faith that adherents eventually run into problems with.

 Diseases and mental illness are often ascribed to the Tarnish first and to physical processes second. Fundamentalists might reject physical causes outright and keep the sick or despairing trapped in shaded enclosures, shielded from even secondhand light 'for their own good', but given such enclosures are difficult to carry along such incarcerations are fortunately usually short-lived (unless, of course, they are deranged enough themselves to discard the common sense of migration for the full duration of a sufferer's sickness).
+The truly pessimistic consider the Tarnish to be a [[:kavkem:mythology:qidravem|qis̈elek]] on top of its corrupting influence.
 ===== Metaphysical entities =====
-Adherents of //Nitish Ynas// consider the gods to be something between metaphorical and forces of nature. They might speak of them as 'essences' permeating through the world. To the adherent of //Nitish Ynas//, the sunlight **is** [[:Thumak]] and the shade **is** [[:Maenona]]. The energy allowing life to grow and thrive is [[:Yrargyra]], the flow of time and the space all is embedded in is [[:Garukaron]].
