Carucerean Badi
Carucerean Badi refers to a tendency of the Badi religion practiced on Carucere. The religion originates from Southeast Coius, brought by gowsa workers in the mid to late 19th century after Gaullica seized the island after the War of the Triple Alliance. While planters sought to convert them to Sotirianity, they kept their indentured workers isolated together in villages, estates or plantations, which led to cultural preservation and a sense of community. Since then, the Badi religion has undergone syncretization with Boku and Sotirianity and has developed into a distinct form of Badi. While it shares many fundamental beliefs and practices with the religion practiced in Coius, nevertheless it has several major differences that makes it a distinct faith.
Definition

In Papotement, the religion is also referred to as Eleman, a direct translation of the Ziban word for the religion, and Dife Lafwa or "fire faith" due to the fire rituals worshiping the theological element of heat.
History
Beliefs
The tendency of Badi practiced in Carucere has several major differences with the orthodox Badi religion due to a blending with Boku and Sotirianity. The most notable differences are the belief in a supreme being that created humanity and the universe, belief in spirits and minor deities, belief in the existence of the afterlife, and a simplified and syncretic form of the elemental system.
