Also known as the Psychic Crusades, the Isbajutha (plural, from Khahonri 'sebejeh,' to fight against with intention; singular isbajath), are the series of calculated wars that brought to an end the dominions of the great Chaos Rulers of the Middle Ages. The Isbajutha consist of the general psychic crusades demanded by the then-ruling Incarnandina and the lesser psychic crusades, each general Isbajath (psychic crusade) being designated with a number and each lesser isbajath designated with a non-numeric name.

Numerous other conflicts arose during the Isbajutha as the worship of chaos and the practice of chaos magic had become firmly entrenched throughout the Pallathantic Region. The Shenimite Incarnandists, their converts, and their allies in the Arathracian Church followed an organized program aimed at eliminating the chaos leaders with immense success.

The extirpation and exile of the most egregious leaders of the chaos movement fell even more swiftly on the Pallathantic than the speed with which chaos cults arose and flourished in the Middle Ages. Practitioners, priests, and cultist of chaos not slain or converted through the Isbajutha fled into hiding, sometimes with great irony, concealing themselves and their works in the very places of refuge where they had driven Incarnandists and others during the former rule of the princes of chaos.

General Isbajath

Only the acting Incarnandina could invoke the call for a general isbajath. Each such psychic crusade was numbered in chronological order. Incarnandist warriors were spiritually obligated to heed her summons and offer whatever powers that God had granted them in the service of the isbajath. The Incarnandina appointed the generals, often members of her own family, based on the council of retinue who consisted of powerful Incarnandist energists (psychics) often with the abilities of seership in the past, present, and sometimes future. The faithful who fell in the course of an isbajath were thought to enter into the presence of God and become companions of the energy of the Incarnandus. Each general isbajath was also associated with a specific zodiacal sign.
