The Proto-Marzo-Bhymic religion is the poorly attested religion of the Proto-Marzo-Bhymians, the ancestors of all Marzo-Bhymian peoples populating the coasts of the Gulf of the Wharm and Transzorniscia. What is known is that it was a polytheistic and had some form of divide between righteous heavenly gods and demonic hell beings residing in their respective realms.

Deities

All knowledge of the deities composing the PMB pantheon is based on reconstructions via the religion's distant descendants, notably Dimhe, and the ancient Callido-Bhymian and Matari religions.

Heavenly deities

• *Qətípar (Bhymian qtpr, Hermian Qtipar, Matari Qipar, Callidian Khátiper) was a god of judgement. In most of its later iterations, it is aniconic and represented with inanimate descriptors.
• *Zənəʔ (Bhymian znꜣ, Hermian Fın, Matari Zen, Callidian Zén) was a god of the sky and ruler of the heavens.
• *Čə́hawtəyya (Bhymian ḏhwtj, Hermian Cıhüça, Matari Tsehōtya, Callidian Zéhautia) was another ruler of the heavens of unknown relationship to *Zənəʔ.
• *Δiyad (Bhymian δjd, Hermian Ziyad, Matari Δiyad, Callidian Dhíat) was the maker of the laws that govern the heavens and the earth.
• *Mišad (Bhymian mšd, Hermian Mişad, Matari Mišad, Callidian Míssiat) was a protector of the devotees.

Underworld demons

• *Muwlad (Bhymian mwld, Hermian Mülad, Matari Mūlad, Callidian Mū́lat) was the causer of grief and sadness.
