Lampax-Daahat

Lampax-Daahat (480:54) was a Glaan Saniit philosopher born in Faalad. She was considered to be one of the founding thinkers of the Glaan-San religion, and was considered one of the Great Philosophers by Balooun universities before the Reconciliation. She was also credited with inventing the term binakan.

A large portion of Daahat's works consisted of commentaries on the theories of her mentor, Kaldeedoo, or her student, Ĵordaan-Juroo. One of her most famous comments is to Ĵordaan, requesting that she reconsider her conviction that stability is more important than morality.

Lampax is often credited as the first philosopher to outline the concept of predestination, in order to make sense of the Badkalden prophecy to the layman. Because of the legends of the Glaan, Saniit people were well acquainted with the idea of prophecy, and believed that God often interacted with the world to bring about positive change, the Badkalden being the most significant example of this influence. However, most people hadn’t considered whether the prophecy was caused by or just foretold by God. If it was caused by God, this meant that the Badkalden was not the exemplary autonomous hero everyone thought; but if it was only foretold by God, this meant the Kamakan was not the holy Empire it was thought to be. Lampax raised this issue through the following question: could the Badkalden have acted so as to not fulfil the prophecy? Her answer was that the Badkalden could technically have disobeyed her holy duty, but that she never would have done so because of her infinitely virtuous nature. Thus, both God and the Badkalden had been the simultaneous cause of the fulfilment of the prophecy. This synchronicity of will meant that the prophecy could be revealed to the world without the risk of it being impeded.
