Marism is an esoteric interpetration of Brillian monotheist paganism centred on the teachings of Guardian Mari, comprising the collective religious traditions of the Brillian people. The religion was established by a priest named Szalbacaile in 1344 as a variant of traditional Brillian paganism, although it has roots dating back to the 6th century.

Its major religious text is the Major Hicak, which consists of five books detailing religious rules, practises and the life of Guardian Mari. The Hicak is based off an esoteric implementation of Brillian paganist texts, which forms a major base in current worship. Religious Marists consider the Hicak to be a convenant Mari gave from God to the people and believe in reincarnation. Marist belief is centered on the belief of the Great Revival (Berpiszte Handiagoa), the belief of becoming part of Holy Spirit by successive reincarnations as a pious being.

Although the religion is dwarfed by other faiths in Cardia such as Ditanery, the Marist tradition played a large part in the formation of the modern-day state of Brilliania and neighbouring areas populated by Brillians. As a religious minority in neighbouring nations, it has historically experienced major persecution, culminating in the brutal Cornice rule under High King Marius I and successors in the Marmor dynasty.

Characteristics

The Marist religion is a continuation and modernisation of Brillian paganist traditions. The Marist belief system includes the belief in a God, who revealed Himself to Mari and sent a covenant. Mari proceeded to codify seven major rules for the creation of an ideal populace based off the covenant she recieved, which Mari gave to the people. Unlike pagan religions dominant in Cardia and Hallania, Marism is based off the principle of monotheism with the sole God not communicating with fellows but instead guiding the people He commands. Nearly all Marists generally apply the rules of Jokabideak to their daily life, in which they can cause God to come into their lifes by practising in prayer and study.

=Hicak

The codification of sacred texts, the Hicak, consists of five books and is often supplemented by religious study books and verbal traditions. A basic structure of the Hicak is as follows:

  • Major Hicak
    • Sorkuncak (Creation)
    • Eszarcea (Implementation)
    • Bedeinkaszioa (Blessing)
    • Jokabideak (Conduct)
    • Goraipacen (Appraisl)
  • Minor Hicak
    • Abestiak (Songs)
    • Osagarriak (Supplements)
    • Cseracen (Poetry)
    • Aszterketa (Study)
