Cedrism is the ''state-favoured'' religion of Shireroth. It consists of a multitude of [[gods]] and is a derivative of [[B0O0/\/\ism]]. Cedrism had developed years ago out of a free-spirited love for explosions and fruits and has since evolved a staggering pantheon of gods all the way from [[Mors]], God of Death, to [[Hypotomoose]], God of Miscalculations. The [[Cedrist Temple]], located in [[Mirioth]], was presided over by a [[Religion#Priests and Acolytes|High Priest]] who had the final say in all of Shireroth's religious affairs. The temple subsequently fell into ruin during the long dark age of the religion's neglect and its authority has subsequently been usurped by the [[Temple of Mors]] in [[Shirekeep]] which enjoys the favour of the [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] and his [[Raynor's Keep|Court]].

A Member of the Cedrist religion is known as a [[Cedrist]]. The religion is named, not for its prophet, the inscrutable and downright eccentric Brrapa Lu'Eraro, but rather his acolyte [[Greg Russell|Cedris]], who was the first to attempt to put the faith's precepts and hierarchies into some kind of coherent and comprehensible order. It is a task that, even to this day, remains incomplete and a strain upon the sanity of all who attempt, in the spirit of piety, to undertake the task.

Cedrism is the state-favoured religion of Shireroth. It consists of a multitude of gods and has staggering pantheon of gods all the way from Mors, God of Death, to Hypotomoose, God of Miscalculations. The Cedrist Temple, located in Mirioth, was presided over by a High Priest who had the final say in all of Shireroth's religious affairs. The temple subsequently fell into ruin during the long dark age of the religion's neglect and its authority has subsequently been usurped by the Temple of Mors in Shirekeep which enjoys the favour of the Kaiser and his Court.

A Member of the Cedrist religion is known as a Cedrist. The religion is named, not for its prophet, the inscrutable and downright eccentric Brrapa Lu'Eraro, but rather his acolyte Cedris, who was the first to attempt to put the faith's precepts and hierarchies into some kind of coherent and comprehensible order. It is a task that, even to this day, remains incomplete and a strain upon the sanity of all who attempt, in the spirit of piety, to undertake the task.
