Resuast

A resuast in Vojislav, part of the Teal Palace Square.

Resuasts (probably from Razarian reči vazduha, meaning 'air of words'), also reswasts, are squares found in Razaria built and designed primarily for conducting open-air Koshchunist ministry. The first resuasts were recorded as early as the 11th century where liturgy was conducted in an open square instead of an enclosed temple in order to attract more to the faith and message of the religion. After the complete Koshchunization of Razaria in the imperial period, resuasts were built as centres of nearly every city and tvrdjava. In some cases city squares from before Koshchunism were redesigned and rebuilt to serve as resuasts.

The design of a resuast must satisfy architectural stipulations and prescriptions of podesic practice. In early times, resuasts were mandated to have eight sides, thus they were also referred to as 'octagons'. Fully implementing podesy in resuasts however became increasingly difficult due to the needs of urban planning and even conflicts with other needs of podesy in these contexts. Almost always, the assembled congregation should face the north. In the north a building or at least an elevated platform would accommodate clerical personnel needed for a rite during the event.

Today, resuasts have been used to hold political events and rallies as well as liturgies, in some cases they are hardly distinguishable due to the quasi-theocratic and quasi-fundamentalist nature of the Razarian state line. The use of technologies such as loudspeakers have also improved clarity of messages in ritual events on larger resuasts.
