Terōc

Terōc is a monotheistic religion that once dominated Igleis but is currently being pushed further from the centres of power by the neo-paganism that is rising in Igleis. Terōc began as an outlawed minority religion in the Nimandrian Empire but rose to prominence over time, eventually reaching its zenith after almost a millenium of pushing its way higher in the social order. After The Fall, the power of and faith in Terōc (both the god Tero and the systems established by the church) waned significantly, giving way for neo-paganism to begin its reclamation of power.

Etymology
The name Terōc derives from Tero, the name of the god that followers believe in and -oc, a Nemus suffix translating to -ism. An alternate name is Fia from Nemus fīrr zef meaning The One Truth. The term Fia was used originally as a name for the religion itself along with the god Tero however the two names and subsequent confusion would lead to the later development of Fia being the term for corporeal form of Tero on Jokaimi and Tero being the term for the true single deity, this was to not be too radically different from the belief that leaders at the time were in fact gods among men as Terōc followers could stay in line with social etiquette at the time albeit claiming they saw the current leader as Fia which kept the authorities somewhat clear of them. Over time Fia became the corporeal form of Tero not just a term for it, Fia also became a single figure with scriptures from the period after this shift assuming Fia to have been the name assumed by Tero's single corporeal form. Tero became the name of the deity's true but incomprehensible form while Terōc became the name of the religion itself.

Iūr Se (The Order)
Numerous beliefs in Terōc simplify to one, in the sense that plurality is the beginning state but all must come to some single end point, the most common example is that of Tero himself where he originally was seen as all of the so called heathen gods of the pre-Terōc period, along with Fia, eventually coalescing into The One Truth of Tero. Terōc followers view the shift from polytheism and numerous belief systems of Igleis into the worship of Tero alone as yet more evidence that all must come to one end point. Afterlife is seen as the one endpoint of death just as birth is seen as the one endpoint of a woman's life, work a man's, power a royal's. As a result of Terōc teaching, one is regarded as a sacred number. Dæmons are therefore not simply embodiments of evil, rather they are multiple and remain so by their very nature, as such they oppose Iūr Se while Tero is inherently singular and orderly.

Tex
Tex is the one endpoint for an individual, whether the endpoint is predestined or altered by one's actions is hotly debated and was one of the causes for the splitting of Terōc into related but separate beliefs. Tex ends for an individual either in an afterlife of peace or suffering. Both are in the same plane but those who suffer are the lowest class in the afterlife hierarchy, suffering for their avarice in life while those living in peace are the aristocracy who are rewarded for their adherence to Iūr Se in life.
