==Basic concepts of the D'ni religion== * Children (by D'ni standard, those under the age of 25) were not accountable to [[Yahvo]] for their actions and decisions; rather, it was the parents who were held responsible for the actions of their children. * The D'ni had laws and commandments against adultery, though as with similar religious commandments on Earth, they held little sway over some (including a few kings). * Through the grace of Yahvo, healings and miracles were possible. * The power of Writing Ages was a gift from Yahvo. * D'ni religion spoke of angels that could take people away, presumably to the [[Perfect Age]]. * The D'ni believed that when one dies, his/her soul is brought to the Judgment Age to be judged for their conduct in life. If the person was good, they were brought to the Perfect Age (equivalent of Heaven). If the person was bad, they were brought to [[Jakooth's Age]] (equivalent of Hell; Jakooth was the equivalent of the Devil in D'ni religion). * ''Taygahn'' (<dni>tAgan</dni>), "to love with the mind," was a chief cornerstone of D'ni belief. The word implies a close, personal relationship with and knowledge of another person. While in a religious sense, ''taygahn'' implied a relationship with Yahvo, the same word was used to describe a relationship between spouses. The concept of ''taygahn'' had grown more important in later years, with some believing that only ''taygahn'' with Yahvo was needed to go to the Perfect Age, and that following Yahvo's commands to the letter was not needed. * Marriage was considered an important component of life's journey, and was very much encouraged, as the D'ni believed that it strengthened one's relationship with Yahvo in ways that nothing else could provide.
