Some people are venerated and recognized as saints, yogis, sants, or equivalent titles that represent their holiness and devotion to a cause, god, religion, or peoples. Many people even worship some of these individuals like minor gods, and almost all of their names have become common names across Abmarah.
The Imperium Aeternum is the highest authority within Jakunism when it comes to the specific title of 'Saint', which is a jakunist title that needs to be confirmed and canonized by the bishops in Alsorion. While there are many people often called 'Saint' by the common masses, true jakunist sainthood is only given to those recognized by the Imperium.
Some of these individuals include:
