=== Beginnings ===
Capanillea was created by Capfhene Lotus in 214 AC, an Andelasian from an unknown village near Feccen Capi Cida. He died in 232 AC and his followers would only increase in size, causing many (usually hostile) reactions from the upper class of the Goman Empire.
=== Schism ===
After the collapse of the Goman Empire, 600s were filled with religious uncertainties. Perpetrated by conflicts regarded use of Calendars and of Nimellian rights to preach outside of their own realm, the Religion officially split into several branches in 627, with religious reconciliation not happening to this day. Capanilleans in Tauaria and Kingdom of Aendia were unaffected due to centuries of no "contact" with Meitria.
== Churches and Denominations ==
=== Oclunorrean Capanillea ===
Oclunorrean Capanillea is the most widespread denomination of Capanillea, being practiced in most of Capanillean regions, with the exception of Anarchea, Acepogland, Aendia and half of Luklalaland. It premits the use of the Goman Calendar for all purposes, even liturgical.
=== Maludufan Capanillea ===
Maludufan Capanillea is a branch practiced in Anarchea and south Luklalaland. It premits only the use of Capanillean Calendar, espically for liturgy.
=== Pogilism and Poganci Capanillea ===
Both branches are practiced in Acepogland proper, they opt for a compromise in the Calendar dispute, using Capanillean Calendar for liturgy, and Goman Calendar for everything else.
=== Non-Denominational Capanilleans ===
There are also some non-denominational Capanilleans in Aendia and Tauaria due to them arriving there before the schism.
