Marism is a monotheistic religion, tradition, and way of life dominant in Brilliania, with smaller religious communities in neighbouring areas. The faith is based on the teachings of Guardian Mari and her ten Followers, supplanting earlier local pagan religions in Brilliania in the 9th century. Marist beliefs are nearly exclusively centered on the Hicak, which is supplemented by religious study books. Puritan Marists also supplement the Hicak with the Amendments, which is not accepted by Orthodox or Reformist Marists.
History
The Hicak, the holy book, is written by Mari and her ten followers and consist of four chapters. The first chapter, the Hasziera, is written by Mari and describes the forming of the world by God. The Kodecak further details early life after the creation of humanity and codifies societal rules derived from the commandments received by Mari. The Irakaszpen is the third chapter and is a supplement to the Kodecak and is written by the follower Salbacaile. The fourth chapter, the Gutunak, was written in the 12th century by offspring of the Followers and is accepted by Orthodox and Reformist Marists but not by Puritan Marists. The Gutunak consists of several letters received by early religious congregations. Instead of the Gutunak, the Puritan Marists instead consider the Szuszenketak as the fourth chapter; which was written by Szalbacaile after Mari's death.
