Shyresu Inari

= Shyresu Inari = Shyresu Inari, pronounced 'She-re-su E-nar-e,' is the modern religion of the Caedan people. The belief is a primitive system of Caedan folk lore and beliefs compiled into a series of books, written by the Reris of each community, which are then written into a canon book in a Council of Rerin. Each book can vary wildly, allowing for great diversity and the coverage of many topics, however the belief relies on these books, without any of them the true foundation of the belief is gone. The name Shyresu Inari directly translates to 'Book Gathering,' which describes the nature of the belief.

Theios-Essukdal
Shortly after the Caedan people arrived in Theios-Essukdal, they abandoned their old god, of which had oppressed and abused them. In place of their old god, was Theios, or Kolmi as he is known the the Caeda. They soon spread across the Duchy of Anoshphey, remaining most concentrated in the county of Siroba. They remained relatively loyal to Theiosism, not having another option.

Yimmu-Audal
They remained a minor Theiosist group, until the reformation of Yimmu-Audal, where, seeking to expand Caedan identity, the Kamura council decided to reform the Caedan faith. With the abandonment of Nysari, the Rerin Council was forced to relocate temporarily to Saroru, a minor Caedan village in Anosphiae, where they've stayed as of 8/27/2021. The faith itself has not been officially recognized by the Yimmu-Audal state.

Core Beliefs
Core beliefs is common knowledge, and these can be followed with or without the presence of books or even an official canon.

Creation Myth
The creation myth varies greatly, however it always keeps to a similar and predictable theme. An example of a more popular version, 'Six demi gods once walked the first world, together they had many children and lived together in harmony. One day, one of the demi gods killed another, and declared himself king. He forced his descendants to build him an empire, the Kingdom of Erebus, the mighty empire flourished for many years until one day. The true god, the creator of the first world and the demi gods sought to destroy the first world, in fear, the demi gods united to defeat the true god. The true god became shattered, falling from the heavens and becoming the earth, sky, water, wind, and all that made the world. Weakened from their battle, the demi gods died, and their children spread across the world, becoming the true ancestors of all the worlds races.

Afterlife
The afterlife of the Caeda remains the most constant beliefs, varying only ever so slightly between books. There are three stages, life, afterlife, and the end. When you die, your soul is split in two halves, one half, all your emotions, desires, and feelings go into your soul stone. If your soul stone is chipped, you lose that part of you forever. Your other half is your sight, hearing, and thoughts, this part is forced to watch the person you loved most live out their lives. If they die, you get obliterated, however if your soulstone is satisfied by your child, then you ascend and become a star, watching your descendants forever more. To satisfy one's soul stone, it must be carried by their child during a pivotal moment in their life, an event that'd change the child's life forever.

Taboo

 * 1) It is highly taboo to remarry, as it'd be barring you from the afterlife, having multiple people you love dearly means that you will not be able to observe any of them, resulting in your obliteration.
 * 2) Another taboo is attempting to revive the true god, as that'd be akin to tearing apart the very world itself.

Organization
The Shyresu Inari faith is typically decentralized, save for the Rerin council, a council of Reris' that meet every so often to discuss progress and work towards a finished canon book. However the Nerurerin has final say in most matters of the faith. To qualify for the Rerin Council, a reris must simply begin collecting folk lore of their specific community into a book of their own.
