Bradecarashirism

**Bradecarashirism** or **Bradecshirism** for short, is an Elven Branch of Cardinalism that exists in the Huitca State of Zoquiyo. It was founded under the Bradecblight City State nearly 2 thousand years ago.

## Ancient Bradecarashirism

The exact date of Bradecarashirism is debated, but it's estimated to have been popularized roughly two thousand years ago, when the first Migration of Huitca settlers integrated into the Dune Elf populations of Northern Ummarnu.

As these ethnic groups merged to create the Ancient Hiarllii people, the city of Bradecblight became the centre of the Bradecarashirist Religion. The name Bradecarashirism is derived from the city of Bradecblight.

There are 5 Gods of Ancient Bradecarashirism, and Modern-Bradecarashirism, and those are:

### Dadrikra Bladeckt Quiaust

(Tlahatepa) Deity of the West, Deity of Peace, Deity of the Forgetful, Deity of Day.

Gender: Male

Ritual: Breeding of two sheep at the top of the Grand Temple, on the 20th of every month.

Tlahatepa is the patron god of the city of Tlahatl and the embodiment of tranquility, this god is represented in physical form by a humanoid lizard-like creature. To the Hiarllii, Tlahatepa is seen as a God of Betrayal, as he is the God who left a portion of the Ancient Huitca stranded in the middle of the sea, until they were led by Calibrius to Quiajal, which is the modern Region of Zoquiyo. To the people of Tlahatl, Tlahatepa is celebrated with great honour on the nation's most important holiday, Independence Day. While the Hiarllii do celebrate Tlahatepa as a God, he is less respected as the other 4. For the Hiarllii in Modern-day Bradecarashirism, Tlahatl Independence Day is seen as a secular holiday. Much information is unknown.

### Mahobius

(Meclahua) Deity of the East, Deity of War, Deity of Destruction, Deity of Night

Gender: Female

Ritual: Sacrifice a cow before going to battle.

The Goddess Mahobius is the embodiment of conflict, and her wraith can often be seen raging through Eastern Rathnir. Mahobius also represents the destruction that fell upon the Ancient Hiarllii people, when their Tlytoana (King) began worshipping Entropy two thousand years ago. to the people of Tlahatl, Mahobius is spoken of in legend to take the physical form of a large humanoid acamtemicti (murderer crab), a native apex predator of the island Cuiciloa, but to the Hiarllii, Mahobius takes the form of a Dadrik'Chilana, AKA a spotted Ostrich. A confirmed appearance of Meclahua in the physical world has never been documented, although her wrath was felt in the west in the destruction of Bardonia and the sacking of Sanctuary during The Great Golden War. This was likely because the Huitca warriors failed to honor Meclahua with a human sacrifice before entering battle, due to the fact that they didn't actually think that a battle could happen. Much information is unknown.

### Calibrius

(Cualitzin) Deity of the North, Deity of the Overworld, Deity of Life, Deity of Order

Gender: Female

Ritual: Sacrifice of a cuahuacapra (goat-cow) on the 3rd of each month.

The Goddess Calibrius is the embodiment of discipline. Valued as a highly important Deity in Hiarllii culture, she is worshipped almost just as much as Dadrikra. Calibrius according to legend was paramount in guiding the Hiarllii people to their island home, and therefore earned a special spot among the Hiarllii people. Despite being the second most important Deity to the Hiarllii, she is also the most mysterious of them all. Virtually nothing is known about her, besides her role in the Great Balance. Calibrius's physical form is completely unknown, although its speculated to be a humanoid goat (goats are theorized to exist but have never been found in the wild). Due to her role in the Hiarllii finding their island, the Hiarllii celebrate her with bonfire on their founding day. Much information is unknown.

### Dadrikra Bladeckt Quibriqn

(Xoalcoatl) Deity of the South, Deity of the Underworld, Deity of Death and Reincarnation, Deity of Chaos

Gender: Male

Ritual: Sacrifice of a pig before a long journey via the underworld

The God Xoalcoatl is the embodiment of death as a natural part of life. the Hiarllii, just like the Huitca, do not view death as an evil, but instead a natural part of the cycle of life that should be accepted. Xoalcoatl's physical form is disputed. Newer religious thought believes it resembles human skeletal remains, due to the tendency of such beings appearing riding xoalcotle (Xoalcoatl's steed), while others still maintain that Xoalcoatl's physical form resembles humanoid decaying pig. Xoalcoatl first came into the lives of the Hiarllii when a mysterious portal pre-existing the Elven people was found in the Tombroa Desert, surrounded by ruins. This portal lead to Xoalcoatl's underworld realm, and there the Hiarllii found that they could travel to far away locations much faster. In order to thank Xoalcoatl for this transportation ability, the Huitca people sacrifice a pig before every long journey through Xoalcoatl's realm. As theorized by the new generation of scholars, the Xoalcotle are believed to be directly connected to Xoalcoatl, and are believed to be provided as both a gift and a challenge by the Deity. In order to take the beasts for themselves, the Huitca have to fight undead skeletons that ride them. When a soul is sent to the afterlife, Xoalcoatl is said to carve the soul's name onto a slate tablet which is then kept in the catacombs of his vast castle so it can be protected for eternity. Much information is unknown.

### Dadrikra

(A'ashia) Diety of Space, the Sun, and the Future

Gender: Non-binary

Ritual: Bonfire on Bradecblight's founding day.

Dadrikra, the Hiarllii Adaptation of the Ashuran Goddess of A'ashia, was The patron god of the city of Bradecblight. Dadrikra was worshiped among the Dune Elves of Northern Ummarnu for many millennia, and was adapted by the Huitca settlers two thousand years ago. When the Hiarllii started to form 200 years later, they adapted both Cardinalist and Elven values, creating Bradecarashirism, with Dadrikra as the head of the Pantheon. Dadrikra was celebrated on the nation's most important holiday, Founding Day. Much information is unknown.

## Modern Bradecarashirism

Ancient Bradecarashirism died out with the Hiarllii people one thousand years ago. With the reincarnation of Tyo'on'tyo Dou'wall, Efforts have been made across the State to reintroduce and uncover the secrets of his ancient religion.

Unfortunatly, Since Many of its cultural and religious traditions were lost as the Hiarllii people died out, Modern-day Bradecarashirism incorporates many customs from the Cardinalist Religion to make up for the lost knowledge.

The Modern day religion still worships the same five gods, but due to Cardinalist influince from Tlahatl, the Four Cardinalist God, Calibrius in particular, are now seen as the highest, with Dadrikra being seen as a "prominent figure", rather than a God.

Many Cardinalist ways of worship have been adopted by the Bradeshirist followers, such as the sacrifices to the Gods, Holidays, and the many rituals.

Unlike Modern-Cardinalism, Modern Bradecarashirism also believes that several beings in Rathnir have divine powers sent by the gods, to mend and heal the world of it's mistakes. Those being Uni of Bardonia, for their strength, Juan Coyo of Huitca for their wisdom, Infinick of Huitca for their kindness, Drippy Cookie for their Drip, Raul for their brains, and Coffee of Aurlunor for their devotion.

The current leader of the Modern-Bradeshirist Church is Tyo'on'tyo.
