	'''Tethuricism''' is the dominant religion throughout most regions. It follows the air god [[Teu]] with three aspects called [[Tesh]], [[Ethura]], and [[Uricus]] (which also forms the full name of Tethuric). The primary institution in the '''Tethuric Church''' is the [[Saent Isala's Ethucary]], which governs from its headquarters in [[Catal]], an estate in [[Jura]]. Its chief priest is the [[Archcleric of Catal]]. It is the most traditional and filled with ritual of all the religions. Many of the [[saentship\|saents]] people have heard of are Tethuric saents. The main text used by the Tethuric Church is called ''[[The Canonida]]'', though it is believed that they house a large number of arcane books in their [[Archive of Enen\|archive]], many of which deal with magic and ancient history.

	Following the destruction brought about by the [[Great Purge]], a paradigm shift ensued once the exodus began as the lands of [[Greater Galwyndor]] became inhospitable due to the [[Time of Decay]]. People saw this as the result of the gods punishing the world for destroying one of their greatest gifts: magic. In response to this, new deities rose to prominence, the most popular being the Teu, who did not deal in magic but in a more philosophical sense of being ever-present in the air, as air could be found in all places of the world. Most importantly, within all living creatures. So new gods were fashioned to replace those lost, and because of the influence of [[Saent Isala]], the Tethuric Church gained a foothold among the royal houses. Having such affluent patronage enabled the movement to thrive, and subsequently, grow exponentially.

	The events of the Purge played a major role in the shift of power from magic to religion. Smaller religious sects latched onto the prevailing opinion of the day, which was that magic was evil. Many of these sects began offering their aid to the [[Tal Calar]], and once all of the [[vorbright]] creatures were eliminated, focus was shifted toward finding and collecting magical items to be locked away. Of these sects, one in particular outgrew the rest, given their dedication to the cause of "antimagic." These were called the [[Bolgonds]], being that they originated in the [[Bolgond]] region of [[Nelestine]].		The events of the Purge played a major role in the shift of power from magic to religion.
