Hoshania

One of the few monotheistic religions in the 4th Age, Hoshanism and its offshoots originate from Lahamel and worship a singular Creator God El.

Hoshiana associates some so-called gods of the Classical Pantheon with angels and demons, with Agkelos being merely one rank or form of angelic being. Orthodox Hoshania makes little attempt to study or categorize the spirits underneath El, focusing mostly on any given spirit's loyalty to El instead of their place within the heavenly hierarchy.

More mystical sects pay more attention to the “princely” spirits and their hierarchy, with the typical arrangement being:

An ethnic variant of Hoshanism practiced by the Gobahim. It holds to all the basic beliefs and rituals of orthodox Hoshanism, with the additional oral history of promises made by Malakel to their patriarch Hahak. According to the Gobahim El did not establish the temple at Amahshalem as the only acceptable site for state sacrifices, but as the only site for the Shahtafim. The Gobahim were granted their own site for sacrifice, specifically upon Mount Serat.

This claim is disputed by the Dahbeqite priesthood, who insist that Amahshalem is the center of the world and only site for state sacrifice, and view worship at Serat as heretical.
