Xaewoon dates back to the [[Dawn]] and originated in [[Loodori]], a southern tarnarian country, where the religion is known under the name of [[Kajoon Tarkai]]. In central and northern Tarnaria it is usually referred to as Xaewoon White or Xaewoon Magnolia.
Xaewoon dates back to the [[Dawn]] and finds its origins in [[Loodori]], a southern tarnarian country, where the religion is known under the name of [[Kajoon Tarkai]]. The third wave of the Dawn brought travelers through Gantolia and Yammoe into Tarnaria, frequently making their way into Loodori and only after that setting off for a trek to the north. This is where exposure to Kajoon is believed to have happened for many of the travelers of the third wave.
Xaewoon has developed as a way to add purpose to the difficult exploration of the new and hostile world. The Sacred Game of Roads might have been a vehicle to understand and explain successes and failures along the way. The clear visibility of Eternal Companion in the night sky explains the influence of the star on the theology of Xaewoon, a bright light that shines on the paths of the pioneers of [[Tarnaria]].

As Xaewoon originated in Loodori, Kajoon Tarkai superficially sounds very similar. It is, however, ultimately a very different worldview and is a very elitist worldview as opposed to a very egalitarian approach of Xaewoon.
Kajoon generally postulates that Loodori's native population are descendants of the people who were displaced to the Continent from Mamkoon, their true home. These people are called "kajoons" (the natives).
Kajoon believers either regard Xaewoon as an unfortunate misinterpretation of their worldview or as an imposter religion that tries to coopt the claim of Trenona to Mamkoon. Some factions consider Xaewoon completely unconnected to Kajoon.

The attitude on the Xaewoon side is much more tolerant and Kajoon was regarded as a compatible belief system by many in central and northern Tarnaria, especially during the second revolution. Central tarnarians continued to borrow ideas from Kajoon, weave it into their own theology and then disseminate the updated theology to the north. The concept of Kasanja, for example, was an idea borrowed from Kajoon in the middle of the second revolution and brought into the mainstream by the [[Kareden]]. The concept of Trenona, completely absent from Xaewoon Blue, became an operating idea in Xaewoon Green and is borrowed directly from Kajoon's concept of Trenona.
