Mihr

Mihr or Mehr (Aldegarian:, Gao-Indralan: 彌勒) is a Messianic figure in the eschatology of Aldegarian religions who shall arise at the end of the world and bring about its renovation. Mihr is a central character both in Yazdism and Daenism, but plays different roles in the two religions.

In Yazdism
In Yazdism, Mihr is believed to be conceived when a maiden shall enter a lake that miraculously preserves the seed of Prophet Shapur. When Mihr is born, he shall not require earthly nourishment, feeding solely on "spiritual food" for thirty years. When he reaches maturity, Mihr shall lead the final battle against evil, defeating Duzakh's Divs (Demons). After the forces of Yazdān shall prevail against Duzakh, Mihr shall resurrect the dead, whose bodies will be restored to eternal perfection, and whose souls will be cleansed and reunited with God. Time will then end, and asha (truth/righteousness) and immortality will thereafter be everlasting.

In Daenism
In Daenism, Mihr Bidar is a Bidarhasti who is to be born on Terra, achieve complete enlightenment, teach the pure Daena, and create a terran paradise. Mihr Bidar shall be the successor of Bahram Bidar, the historical Bidar, and will arrive on Terra once all Daena will have been forgotten. In Cheng, Mihr Bidar is believed to occasionally be born on Terra and strengthen the teaching of the Daena. Kui Yang (夔楊, Ki'yō in Kunikata), a 10th century Indralan monk, is commonly believed to have been an incarnation of Mihr Bidar; his depiction as the Laughing Bidar has become a popular representation of cotentment.
