Yericism



Yerican or Yericism is a monotheistic religion based on the teachings of the Yerics, a group of educators and pupils founded by Sorliric teacher Mihael il-Zelum. The Yerics gradually developed into a spiritual movement and embarked on a religious journey that culminated into Rivalin, a collection of hundreds of manuscripts from various Yerican theologians and philosophers and which serves as the religion's holy text.

One of the central tenets of Yerican theology is the belief God is made of four unique persons or characteristics that correspond to the four traditional elements of the world: fire, water, earth, and air. This should not be confused with the belief that there are four gods, but rather God's essence is made whole by these four characteristics; the "who" of God. Yericism also teaches that evil exists as a result of humanity's free will and it is ultimately humanity's duty to combat it through the use of good works, faithful obedience to the Twelve Orders, and by spreading God's message throughout the world. Prayer is an important element to Yericism and hundreds of prayers have been constructed for different purposes.

Yericism is one of the world's largest religions, with 800 million adherents. The largest Yerican denomination is the Order of Husoporus, named after the Kucian philosopher and which claims direct ancestry from the original Yerics.

Yericism has had an enormous influence on the world and has made innumerable contributions to science, mathematics, technology, and astronomy. The Yerican Calendar used by nearly all countries in the world and four of the top ten highest-ranked universities in the world are Yerican-run.
