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.

Living faiths.Azh-Khar in Qasyrra, alongside Aškari, Vardûni, Sairava, Eshrenic, Theskarite, Kharûmi, Marevi, and hidden Saeluni traditions in the human world, remain part of public life and law.

Ancient does not mean harmless.Old rites still shape ruins, inherited offices, family stories, and dangerous objects.

The archive stays open.New living traditions will receive their own records without being folded into the old faiths.
