Kordist

Kordist is a term that refers to adherents of Kordism, a fictional monotheistic religion that emphasizes martial prowess, discipline, and a strict moral code. In the context of many fictional worlds, Kordism often features a pantheon of deities or powerful ancestral figures associated with strength, courage, and honor. Followers are typically depicted as warriors, soldiers, or individuals dedicated to physical and mental fortitude.

The core tenets of Kordism usually revolve around the concept of "The Path," a set of principles guiding adherents' actions. This path often includes virtues such as loyalty, self-sacrifice, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence in combat and personal conduct. Rituals within Kordism may involve training exercises, oaths of service, and ceremonies honoring fallen heroes or deities. Sacred texts, if they exist, would likely detail the history of the faith, the exploits of its founders, and its moral teachings.

Kordist societies are often portrayed as militaristic, with a strong emphasis on hierarchy and duty. Individuals are expected to contribute to the collective defense and well-being of their community through their strength and adherence to the faith's principles. While often depicted as a force for good and order, certain interpretations or factions within Kordism might lean towards extremism, viewing those outside their faith as inherently weak or corrupt. The concept of Kordist characters is popular in fantasy literature, role-playing games, and other forms of speculative fiction.
