The term ''Canonical Adorationalism'' originates from the Almaraei word ''Arameneaarism'', meaning "Adoration of the Canon." The word ''adorationism'' itself is derived from the word ''adōrātiō'' and ''adōrātiōnem'' ("worship, adoration"), which in turn come from ''adōrō'' ("to worship, to adore"), combining ''ad'' ("towards") and ''ōrō'' ("to beg, pray"). Initially the term was levied by the [[Kemenunite people|Kemenunites]] in hostility towards Almaraeites for their adherence to textual legalism. ''Canonical'' refers to the sacred scriptures and traditions that form the foundation of the belief system, collectively known as the Adorational Canon. | |||

Canonical Adorationalism (Almaraei: Arameneaarism) also known as Canonic Adorationism or simply Adorationism is a monotheistic ethnic religion found predominately within the state of Almaraei and throughout southeast Abaria that establishes the spiritual, cultural and legal traditions of the Almaraei people. Although widely accepted among historians to be the oldest of the Imirianic monotheistic religions, it is debated when Canonical Adorationalism developed as an independent religion. Canonical Adorationalism affirms that the deity named Alraakuru-ur-Almaraei is the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God of the universe. Canonical Adorationalism is subdivided into six major religious movements; Creedal Adorationism, Conservative Adorationism, Customary Adorationism, Traditional Adorationism, Standard Adorationism, Secular Adorationism and Conventional Adorationism. Adherents of Canonical Adorationism are members of the Almaraei nation and modern professors of the faith prefer to use the term, albeit scholars prefer to use the term Adorationists. Adorationists confess the the religion as the primordial faith, revealed by God through numerous seraphs and prophets.
The Adorational Canon is considered by its more conservative observants of the faith to be the infallible word of the monotheistic God, codifying the oral traditions of the Almaraeites freed from bondage under Ra'hat. According to religious tradition, all scriptures of the Adorational Canon are products of divine inspiration of Alraakuru-ur-Eamurai, the Imitation of God. Although none of the texts were actually written by Eamurai, the customary religious belief affirms that his descendants carried the divine revelation throughout centuries until they were instructed by God to write the first six Canonical books — Samud, Humpala, Amaargi, Eamurai, Raeianar and Elseaeir. Addition to the first six books with widespread acceptance did not occur until the appearance of Canonic Adorationalism approximately 1,700 years ago. Most Adorationist movements in the modern era are a continuation of Canonic Adorationalism. Adorationists that reject Canonic Adorationism and modern Canonical Adorationalism are classified as either belonging to Oral Adorationism or Testament Adorationism.
Adherents are subject to Canonical law, the religious law that enforces Adorational traditions and practices based on scriptures, accepted oral, customary beliefs, or paramount attestations as published by the Priesthood Paramount. Dependent on the religious movement and adherent belongs to, one may be subject to a numerous texts and unwritten customs, a few or none in the case of Secular and Conventional Adorationists who lack any religious courts. Approximately three quarters of the Adorational community is subject to the Canonical Courts of Almaraei in religious matters other than marriage, cohabitation and divorce. Hinara Eamurai currently serves as the Priestess Paramount of the National Altar and as the Jurist Paramount of the Canonical Courts, the two highest religious position in the Adorational faith.
Etymology
The term Canonical Adorationalism originates from the Almaraei word Arameneaarism, meaning "Adoration of the Canon." The word adorationism itself is derived from the word adōrātiō and adōrātiōnem ("worship, adoration"), which in turn come from adōrō ("to worship, to adore"), combining ad ("towards") and ōrō ("to beg, pray"). Initially the term was levied by the Kemenunites in hostility towards Almaraeites for their adherence to textual legalism. Canonical refers to the sacred scriptures and traditions that form the foundation of the belief system, collectively known as the Adorational Canon.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the term was between two Almaraei priests in Cassany approximately 1,700 years ago, in which Kemenunite priest Aelianus Thiraeon condemned the ongoing efforts of Honorius Ilumaha and other canonic priests. Thiraeon accused the canonic priests of confining an oral tradition, which the Kemenunites held as sacred, to a imperfect language that would undergo linguistic corruptions. Thiraeon also believed that the the establishment of a written canon would lead an idolatrous veneration of the written revelation rather than focusing on God. Overtime the pejorative connection to the term was lost and was eventually accepted by the majority of Adorationists, today only a minority of Adorationist align with the Kemenunite tradition of Oral Adorationism.
History
Origin
Most modern historians, archeologists and linguistics agree that enough evidence can firmly establish a connection between the God of the Adorational Canon, Alraakuru-ur-Almaraei, and Oraei—sometimes alternatively named Iraei. Connections with the deities Ire, Arai, and Raei have been hypothesized due to their linguistic similarities with the name Iraei, archeological findings and similar characteristics, but no consensus among the academic community regarding the validity of such claims has been made. Alraakuru-ur-Almaraei's connection with Oraei is uncontested as the connection itself is established within the Canon, as the name Oraei is used multiple times as the personal name for God. Numerous unsuccessful attempts have been made to connect the various archeological discoveries of similar idols, altars and cave drawings throughout southeastern Abaria to confirm an earlier beginning of Oraeism.
Written documentation of Oraei first appeared approximately 6,000 years ago on a stele commemorating the establishment of the city ancient El-Arai by those displaced by the flooding of El-Cimir;
"Heaven on High, we your subservient slaves of El-Cimir commemorate this day, the first moon of of the flowering terrestrial womb, to you the winged father, who is and who we obey. We name this city in the honor you, golden dawn, the aureate god eternal El-raei."
