====== Adama/James Kaios ======
Born Adama Kaios, a 5th age [[polemos:4th_age:factions:dythos|dythonian]] carpenter who converted to [[polemos:8th_age:religions:orthodoxy|orthodoxy]], taking the name James upon the event. Orthodox scripture claims he was sent by direct revelation to [[polemos:4th_age:factions:agothos|agothos]] to deliver prophecy and judgement against them, especially for the [[polemos:4th_age:religions:church_of_eleytheria|eleytherian]] persecution of budding orthodox communities there. He was martyred after an escalation of antagonism with the eleytherian hierarchy. After refusing to recant his faith for a final time he was crushed by a millstone.

Kaiotic prophecies are apocalyptic in style, and resonated strongly with the set-upon orthodox of the time. His sermons and prophecies were preserved and included in the orthodox Testament. Later in the 8th Age when orthodoxy overtook eleytherianism James became a favorite of the new Agathonian orthodox church as a locally revered figure, and was given a prominent focus.
