Avarra Encyclopaedia · Living Faith & Ancient Records

Faith Archive

Azh-Khar in Qasyrra, alongside Aškari, Vardûni, Sairava, Eshrenic, Theskarite, Kharûmi, Marevi, and hidden Saeluni traditions in the human world, remain living faiths. The other thirteen records belong to ancient religions: traditions preserved in ruins, copied texts, inherited law, and contested memory rather than active worship.
