'''Verk'ohism''' (Salovian: Adidets’mindari), often incorrectly referred to as '''Verism''' and officially known as the '''Church of Ver and K'oh''', is one of the oldest continuously-practiced religions on Urth. It is either a duotheistic or polytheistic religion that centers around the teachings of the [[Verk'ohism#Ts'igna'reli|Ts'igna'reli]] and the [[Verk'ohism#Ts'ignabi'neli|Ts'ignabi'neli]], a series of religious texts said to be written by the prophets [[Ki'esule]] and [[Mordokai]], upon encountering Ver and K'oh. Its adherants are known as Verk'ohists, with denominational variations in the form of Verists and K'ohists, who follow the teachings of only one of the deities. The total number of adherants is unknown, but estimates range from 100 million to 300 million followers worldwide.

Line 105:
Verk'ohism believes that the three realms of ''Q’vela'' (directly translated to "All"), ''Didi Sulisili'', and ''Sisulelis Spero'' (translated to "Realm of Nonsense") are uncreated and eternal realms in which the three deities were manifested, Ver to ''Q'vela'', K'oh to ''Didi Sulisili'', and Gizhuri to ''Sisulelis Spero''. Originally, the two realms of Q'vela and Didi Sulisili were both empty realms consisting of just Ver and K'oh, until, as stated in the Ts'ignabi'neli, "Ver extracted corporeality itself from the realms, and created the first worlds, most principal of which ours, ''Uzenaesi'qaro''. Ver extracted from K'oh the first souls and brought them to Uzenaesi'qaro, and while doing so echoed into existence K'urieri, who would continue collecting souls for Uzenaesi'qaro. The souls attached themselves to the urth, the sky, and the water, and the first living creatures came into being. ''Sisuleleis Spero'' is said to have been "situated between the Holy Two, and through its custodian Gizhuri began the great struggle (''Didi Brdzola'') between balance and chaos."
 
The creation of sentient beings is also described in the books, as "Ver and K'oh breathed a new life into the three confluences of urth, sky, and water. The first confluence, humanity and its relatives; the second, elves and its relatives; the third, nekomimi and its relatives." It is later mentioned in the Ts'igna'reli how other species, like [[Lupine|Lupines]], [[Vulpine|Vulpines]], [[Ursine|Ursines]], and [[Lutryne|Lutrynes]] came into being. The echo left by Ver and K'oh, (that echo being Mortagra,) breathed sentience into the chosen animals of the world, as dictated by Ver and K'oh.
