EinIld
"Einild" or "One fire" is a chronological sect that took a massively radical stance on the nature of the gods in the holy chronicles and taught that there was but one good, Rasmer, and that all other gods were merely him in various incarnation, shapes, aspects of him. The faith was officially founded by the Profet Elark Hagridssen in the late 11th century. It became a rather influential religion in Eastern Imeriata and Vedian and at a time competed with Björkism about a chance to replace the Gudaföljare sect as the main branch of the chronological faith.
Besides it massively radical monotheistic stance were EinIld also known for several radical and massively unchronoligical beliefs such as adopting the sky burials common amongst Ismän in the northern Iceplains as well as displaying iconclasm as Elark commonly ordered statues burnt saying there was but one god and displaying him in icons reinforced the idea that he was many.
In modern Scandera is the faith however rather restricted in it's popularity having split of into several subsects and suffered heavy censor and attacks by the main branches of the chronologically as well as a fierce rivalry with Björkism that at times lead to warfare between the Björkism faith that tried to preserve the old values of the faith and the tribal lifestyle that it had been hatched from while both Einild and Gudaföljare (along with jarntra) tried to reform both the faith and the societies of the time into more feudal and centralised states.
Origins
Similarly how the Gudarföljare sect were trying to reform the chronological faith and create a more feudal society so did Einild try to reform the faith and society which put them in direct opposition to Björkism that spread like wildfire amongst more conservative lords and amongst tribes that felt their way of life were threatened. However more powerful lords saw this as a threat to their power and especially in the east did a lot of lords belive that Einild was the way to save the faith and their new powers. Something that were especially favoured since Elark argued that just as in the old days should kings and dukes be the rulers of the faith in their lands rather than having clerics appointed by the arch cleric.
Einilds Spörsmålet
Einilds spörsmålet or the question of the one flame was a highly debated question about the nature of the divinity that historically have been likened to a holy flame by chronologically theologians, the question that arose was if divinity could be split and if that made it less. Orthodox chonological sects said that just like a flame could be split into two so were the flames not weaker nor smaller and that the flames of divinity were created as the rose burnt and Rasmer came from it. This is universally accepted even by sects that do not claim that Rasmer is the king of the gods but they simply see him as the first god and the beginning of the holy fire from which the other gods got their divinity. However the Einild party generally said that there are but one flames and even if it is cloven so is it still one flame but in two places and such must there only be one god.
This argument were boiled down to the classical question "How many flames do you see?" which theologians and kings asked as fire was split, and put apart. The Einild answer was that there was but one flame or as the followers of Elark Hagridssen said "I see but one flame!" while the orthodox reply was "There are many flames!". To counter this did Einild followers often combine the flames they had twisted apart and ask "how many flames are there now".
A new holy council was called to detail an orthodox response and the official position were said to be that even if you combined two flames so were there still two flames and that just like how you could take water and oil so could they not be mixed and divinity worked in the same manner. So would two fires be combined so were the orthodox response "I see many flames!".
Opponents
There were several opponents to the faith and especially Gudarföljare that followed the reforms of the arch cleric as well as Björkister that argued for a more reactionary step back to the old ways. There were also several smaller sects that just followed the old ways and neither took the extreme stance of Björkism but neither followed the reforms that were sweeping through the land.
There were also Jarntra that were common amongst the islands in the east where the people took extreme measurements to prevent the spread of Einild to their islands and a common law was that missionaries that spoke of merely one god should be drowned for the glory of Arv.
The war of three faiths
It was during and before the war of three faiths that Einild was the most popular and it took a large hold in the east from where the faith launched a large series of campaigns against not only Björkists but also against Gudarföljare. It was however firstly when they managed to take over the old tree "Halfridsträd" that was planed by the old rosetouched Halfrid and that had stood for untold milenia according to the faith where the faces of all the gods had been carved.
The tree was an important place in the faith but it had currently been held by Björksists. However when the shrine fell did Eralk and his men light it ablaze saying that just like the flames made the tree and all the gods as one so were they going to show the world the true nature of the faith.
In response did thh arch cleric declare the sect that had previously been tolerated at least as allies against Björk and his followers that everyone preaching about there only being one god should be burnt at the stake and that the whole moment were declared Útblót.
The war eventually turned against the moment and when the victorious Gudaföljare recaptured the east did they issue heavy penalties on the faith. However despite that did it survive in a very small shape and even today can one find smaller towns and cities that still follows the faith.
