Verk'ohism: Difference between revisions

'''Verk'ohism''', 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 a duotheistic religion that centers around the teachings of the [[Religious Texts of Verism#The Ts'igna'reli|Ts'igna'reli]] and their counterpart the [[Religious Texts of Verism#The Ts'ignabi'neli|Ts'isgnabiignabi'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. Although the terms Verist and K'ohist refer to adherants that follow one of the two deities, the term "Verist" is widely used by non-adherants to incorrectly refer to any individual following one or both of the religious texts. The total number of adherants is unknown, but estimates range from 100 million to 300 million followers worldwide.

By the dawn of the Mernalik Era, starting some time in the midlate 900's BCE, Verk'ohism had spread southwards throughout the Ethaln plains and eastwards, going as far east as modern-day [[Crescent]] in [[Tuvaltastan]] and [[Xiopothos]] and as far west as modern-day [[Fort Wittern]] in [[South Staynes]]. Verk'ohism would continue to be the dominant religion for much of the remainder of Antiquity.
