=====Religion in Yrazul=====
There is one god in Yrazul, and she is known only as [[TheLady The Lady]]. Since the [[GreatWar Great War]] and the destruction of the world, her essence is all that keeps Yrazul together and the universe from utterly ceasing to exist. See the myth of [[Creation]] for more details.
Though there is only [[TheLady The Lady]], several factions have arisen in her worship. She is very powerful, but most of her power is directed towards keeping her people and world alive. Without her efforts, Yrazul and the universe would be no more. Because of this, she can no longer lead her faithful directly, and several factions of worship have arisen since the [[GreatWar Great War]]. All believe in the [[TheLady The Lady]], it's just that they don't all believe in honoring and obeying her in the same way. All of the factions are collectively known as [[Johanists]] because they follow the basic teachings of [[JohanFrancis Johan Francis]]. They comprise between 90 and 95% of Yrazul's population. The major factions are:
[[TheHolyChurch The Holy Church of The Lady]] - The original church, founded after the [[GreatWar Great War]] and led by the [[JohanOrder Johan Order]] and the principles of [[SaintIcara Saint Icara]]. Also known as Icarans.
[[Reformationists The Reformed Church of The Lady]] - Formed in 527 with the emergence of [[SaintRiano Saint Riano]], they were formed to combat what they described as "growing corruption" within the Holy Church, and sought to reform it. Also known as Rianons
[[TheFaithful The Lady's Faithful Orthodox Church]] - Formed in 888 by a break off sect of the [[Reformationists]] with strong ties to the [[Redemptionists]], they are the smallest, youngest and most fanatical of the three major factions. They follow the teachings of [[SaintAdien Saint Adien,]] the most recent saint. Also known as Adienists, or Aiden's Cult.
In addition to the major factions, small factions have grown up around each of the [[Saints]], the most well know and respected of which is [[ThePensarians the Pensarians.]]
