'''Thaerism''', also known as the '''Thaerist Faith''' is a [[wikipedia:Monotheism|monotheistic]] [[wikipedia:Religion|religion]] based on the teachings and wisdom of Thaer. Its adherents, known as Thaerists, believe in a single deity (Thaer), who passed on his teachings to the Prophet Matilda. Through his guidance to life on [[Urth]] with prophets, it is taught that Thaer is all-existing and all-knowing. He is not depicted through incarnate being but through colour. It is one of the major world religions with over a billion worldwide followers with various branches such as the [[Mauism]] in [[Polynesian Union|Polynesian]] nations like [[the Oan Isles]].
Thaerism remains culturally diverse in the world. Its teachings do not conflict with culture and so over it's existence has seen a huge growth of following.

==History==
=== Spread to Polynesia ===
In the 8th to 10th Centuries CE, proselytes from mainland Aurora introduced Thaerism to the [[Polynesian Union|Polynesian Islands]]. In the 11th century CE, the Chief of a major tribe, Ahua established a mid-way between Thaerism purists and Folk religion traditionalists that integrated their ideas and beliefs. This new Polynesian branch of Thaerism, called [[Mauism]], evolved separately from the Thaerist sects on mainland Aurora. Shaped by the political and social realities of the Polynesian island nations, it gradually drifted from mainland beliefs. The ideological tenets that would arise from the later Valerian and Reformation movements did not make it to Polynesian nations like [[The Oan Isles|the Oan Isles.]] Today, mainland and insular branches of Thaerism are barely comparable.
