Heliolatry (Jang ਨੋਜਹਾਨ no'zhan), also known as Aditism (Pala ආදිත්‍යවාදය adityavadaya) is a monotheistic religion which is based around the teachings of the prophet Arutan and the worship of the god Zhan (also known as Sebuk). It is dominant in Oraia, and is one of the world religions. Heliolatry asserts that the main goal of all beings is to achieve "universal perfection" (ਪਏਂਦਾਨਗਨਤਸ਼ਾ pyendang'ntsha, සංක්‍රාන්තිය saṁkrāntiya) through the cultivation and alignment with Tuitsang, the principle of all things.

Usually described as the "living tradition" of Kurangper, the ministry of Arutan began the teachings of what would become Heliolatry as a reformist school in the Ancient Sepcan Empire. Eventually, his teachings would lead him to Taghavan, from which he built his movement and, supposedly, achieved perfection. His disciples, later known as The Pure Ones, would develop and expand from his teaching and form the doctrinal corpus of Heliolatry. The Pure Ones, with Taghavan as their religious center, would later commit to a series of proselytism and conquests, which would be consolidated and formalized by Pala priestess Haliyari into the Arutanic Empire. By XXXX, the Empire would break down into competing "thrones" claiming valid inheritance to the old empire.
