Usilism is a henotheistic religion centered on the worship of a solar deity typically known as Usil.
History
Established as one of many worship cults in the Kastorian Empire, Usil worship grew up in modern-day Maroudia among frontier legionnaries who syncretized with local !Etruscan worship. Later, it spread across the late Kastorian Empire, at first spreading among soldiers, then breaking out into the general public. After the fall of the Kastorian Empire, some Maroudian leaders picked the sun cult as their main royal cult to legitimize their rule.
