Novemberism, or Novemberisme, in Pelzian, is the dominant faith accepted in the Holy Land by the Pelzian people across what is considered ancient Pelzian territory. Novemberism has always been the root of ideologies that have originated from Pelz. “Novemberism” etymology stems from the events of November of 1424, when the early Pelzians gathered in the capital took the monumental step to set aside ecclesiastical differences and reform the Church under the same governing body. Ever since the religion has been the dominant governing religion of Pelz and had the biggest impact upon the governing body of the country.
History
The Recorded History of Pelz traces the origins of Novemberism back to the 1320s through ancient scriptures attributed to Jacob The Wise, a revered figure among believers of Novemberism. His teachings laid the foundational structures of the faith, which were further elucidated upon in textbooks recovered in later centuries, providing invaluable insight and vision for Novemberism. The Testaments Of The Jacob, attributed to him, serve as a cornerstone for understanding and preaching the religion, particularly during the late 1400s when Pelz formally embraced Novemberism as a unifying force.
The era preceding Novemberism in the "Holy Land of Pelz" was marred by incessant civil and religious conflicts, casting a shadow of instability and discord over the region. These conflicts, arising from differing ideologies and life-views, plunged the land into chaos and left its inhabitants yearning for a unified and stable nation. However, the diverse array of prevailing ideas hindered the formation of a cohesive state under a single banner. As the preacher fervently proclaimed the message of unity under a single banner that could provide answers to all of humanity's questions, the movement took on the name "Religion of Unity," reflecting its core intention. Rooted in the teachings of Jacob, the movement sought to address the spiritual thirst pervasive among the people of the Holy Land. Jacob's scriptures, discovered and revered by the faithful, echoed with a profound insight, emphasizing the deep spiritual yearning of the populace. In one poignant passage, Jacob poignantly expressed that the people's thirst for spiritual fulfillment was so insatiable that they would seemingly go to any lengths, even if it meant drastic measures, to gain "entry into the gates of Heaven".

Belief and practice
