Cardiniality

Cardiniality, also referred to as Cardinialism and the Cardinial Faith is the belief in a Quadistic universe separated into four distinct inanimate spiritual forces, primarily represented by the four Cardinal Directions of a Compass. It originated in Northern Borea around the mid 2nd Century BCE alongside the first Cardinial Compass, with earliest confirmed markers of the belief being in modern day Kæra'zna in 262 BCE, and was generally adopted by the Kæra elves who resided there. Due to the generally isolated nature of the early Kæra and the disempowerment of the faith which began during the Nylic Revolution of 1853 and continues to this day, the religion has an extremely small group of followers, with the 2021 Kæra Census noting a follower count of 129,540 based on those who identify as Cardinial with the amount of those regularly practicing the religion within the country expected to be even lower.
