Ra'laabreism

== AND THEY KNELT; AND HE DECLARED THEM FREE, FOR ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE EYES OF THE GOD ==
Ra'laabreism is a monotheistic religion first founded in the plateaus of south-central Nomos, revolving around the teachings of the Cardinal Ra'laabrei, generally believed to be the direct emissary sent forth from the "Suzerainty of the Sky"; the supposed celestial plane of "angels". These teachings mostly entail belief in philosophies revolving around absolute purity, equality of man, redemption of wrongdoings, belief in of a singular, universal God, as well as a belief in that the future is unmade and undefined, yet paradoxically ordained to continue in the same cycle it has so far (often, depicted in the manner of a wheel); and that only Ra'laabreists can break from this cycle to bring about a period where the cyclical nature of history ceases and continues in advancement rather than repetition. Furthermore, another significant philosophy attached to Ra'laabreism is the cessation -though more commonly- regulated, ordered, and especially limited use of any and all magic, as the philosophies and conceptualizations made by Ra'laabrei and the Cardinal-Philosophers after him generally describe the retribution of the Universe against those who have broken the laws of physics (laws proven by aforementioned Cardinal-Philosophers). This is generally referred to as the Theory of Retribution, and entails the eradication of all humanity, as well as marking and completing one cycle of history. Ra'laabreists therefore believe it is absolutely and undeniably imperative that all magic must be severely limited in use to prevent this theoretical reset of history and thus the continuation of its cyclical nature.
Ra'laabreism, when including all sects, is adhered to by several states and populations in differing levels, and includes the entirety of the Azurrei, Ampelu, and large populations in the Augkarate of Otheiae (and formerly, the human states in now Skiratii-inhabited regions). Significant diasporas of Ra'laabreists inhabit further regions, and it is generally considered to be the most widespread religion in Nomos. It is split into two significant sects; that of the Western Ra'laabreism, and that of the Eastern Ra'laabreism, or more commonly, Ra'laaqism. Ra'laaqism contains the entirety of Ampelu, as well as related diasporas of adherents in Southeastern Nomos; Western Ra'laabreism generally contains all other adherents.
== EARLY HISTORY ==
== WESTERN RA'LAABREISM ==
As aforementioned, Western Ra'laabreism is the term given to those adherent the original faith following the gradual schism and eventual separation of the Eastern Cardinality into Ra'laaqism. It is typically considered to be the direct continuation of the original faith founded by the Cardinal Ra'laabrei, though with significant differences, especially in organization and the role of the Cardinality of Man.
