Norzin (Phulese: नोर्जिन; Nōrjina), born Norzin Tangpa and often referred to as Norzin the Truthful was a Tinzan-born ruler and founder of the Kingdom of Sayuttara, a Satyist kingdom inspired in principle by the preachings of Sarvodaya, in modern day Garambura. Regularly cited as one of the fathers of Garamburan Satyism, Norzin expanded Sayuttara from its foundation city in Baralbari to include much of the southern River Gonda, including its expansive delta. Norzin was pivotal in securing strong Satyist influence in the north, where only pre-Sare fetishism existed. Due to this, many tribes were converted quickly and swore fealty to Norzin, which saw him assemble a formidable army and one of the largest and most organised seen yet in Bahia.
Norzin waged several wars against neighbouring kingdoms and empires, many of which were successful and saw vast amounts of wealth begin to accumulate in Sayuttara. Unlike many rulers of the age, Norzin preferred to keep a small, centralised heart of the empire centred around Baralbari, with an array of vassal states and tributaries making up much of Sayuttara. Whilst ruler of the kingdom, Norzin sent out many Satyist monks and missionaries to nearby civilisations and constructed many monuments inspired by and honouring the Satya and the First Phuli Empire, including the famous Pūjā Temple in modern-day Suswe, which is a famous pilgrimage site for Bahian Satyists, and is often used as a symbol for Bahian Satyism as a whole.
Norzin died in 419 BC and left the throne to his eldest-born son Jamtso, many folk stories are written and told about Norzin and Sayuttara, and he is referred to in veRwizi as Mambo Wokutanga ("The First King"). Norzin is often credited with bringing prosperity and wealth to the Gonda delta region of Garambura, and, despite his birthplace, is considered one of the greatest rulers in Garamburan history.
