Sherd of a pithos found at Rahor in Tajikistan. bearing the inscription. (lore in "Alt)

Awluvism, as modern scholars call it, was the religions of ancient Bactria before the formation of Janchricism. Awluvism was essentially polytheistic and had a pantheon made of Selaikic deities and deities taken from the native Oxus population. At the head of this pantheon was Awlu, held in especially high regard as a goddess of mountains and rivers. A goddess who can bring harvest and bring about earthquakes. This goddess was especially worshiped in the city of Shortugai. Following her were second-tier gods and goddesses, each of whom had their priests and prophets worshiped in different cities. The practices of Awluvism included festivals, ritual sacrifices, pilgrimages, private rituals, and the religious adjudication of legal disputes.

Iron age Selaikic Civilizations Pt1 (brief lore for each faction in "Alt")

YAZ II-III is a Civilization that was located in the Murghab River delta region and existed from 1000 to 400 BC. It comprised 150 settlements, with the largest ones being Gonur Depe, Altyndepe, Nemazga, and Monjukli Depe. This region was initially home to the Oxus civilization until its urban settlements were abandoned before being taken over by Selaiki settlers and Andranovo nomads. It's unclear whether this was a single political entity, as the region experienced shifting demographics and territories due to war.
Bahdia was a major ancient Selaikic civilization that existed as city-states from the 20th century BC to the 1st millennium BC, that expanded into an empire from the 1st millennium BC to the 7th century BC. Spanning from the late Bronze Age to the late Iron Age, modern historians have divided ancient Bahdian history into the Early Bahdian (1900-1000 BC) Middle Bahdian (1000-640 BC), and Post Imperial (640-550 BC) periods based on political events. The Selaiki began settling in the region of what would become Bahdia during the decline of the Indus Valley civilization and the Bronze Age. This region which today comprises of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan was a junction between the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia. The volume of Selaiki migrating through this region made it Selaikic-dominated in a short time. The city-states were ruled by Selaiki but were fragmented into various independent entities. They experienced a period of instability and foreign domination when nomadic or Indo-European groups migrated southward. Between 1000 and 640 BC, Bahdia was a unified state as the largest Selaikic kingdom at that time. The Bahdians fell in the mid-7th century BC, subjected by the Medes. Though the Bahdians lived as subjects of the Medes, ancient Bahdian culture and traditions survived for centuries throughout the post-imperial period. The success of ancient Bahdia can be credited to its determined rulers as well as its ability to efficiently assimilate and govern conquered territories using innovative administrative techniques and effective propaganda. The advancements in irrigation, architecture, and governance introduced by ancient Bahdia continued to influence and were adopted by subsequent Selaikic cultures for centuries. Bahdia also left a significant cultural legacy, particularly through the Janchrich religion, an ethnocentric religion aiming to foster cohesion and social unity among the Selaiki people and others.
Tazabagyab (Amirabad) was a post-Bronze Age civilization located in the Khwarazm River delta on the south side of the Aral Sea. Legend has it that the Selaiki people asked a Tazabagyab chief named Afrasiab to be their king and unite the tribes. He accepted and married a Selaikic wife. Afrasiab's successor, Farangis, a Selaikic queen, oversaw the transformation of the region into the Amirabad kingdom. Her dynasty ruled the region for 500 years. About 50 settlements of this civilization are located in the area. They specialized in metalworking and built huge forts to defend against nomadic invasions. They adopted the warfare methods of the Andronovo people. The Amirabad people appear to have controlled the trade in minerals such as copper, tin, and turquoise, as well as pastoral products such as horses, dairy, and leather. This must have given them great political power in the old oasis towns. The civilization fell under the control of the Achaemenid Empire in 400 BC.
