Btw the Ari language (as it's called not Aryashti) is totally based on hindi/urdu and not Sanskrit which is represented by Classical Ari, a dead language, used for inscriptions

It's rather weird that there is no larger religious community of catologians on Norfolk (and I'm talking about the less violent Jingdaoese variant :wink: ). Kildare has been, for the last thousand years, seen an influx of catologian foreigners, which led on its turn on the spreading of that faith in those regions. I can understand that it could be less popular here, but I can't believe that it would belong to the group 'Others'.
That said, Cedrism has never been a popular faith in the East (not since the religious conflicts with the west), so I would replace it with Soloralism. :wink:

Norfolk is a backwater which has been given very little attention by mainstream Kildari society and culture, it is something of a static region culturally until the recent Aryashti takeover, but perhaps our classification of Catologians was wrong and scholars shall re-evaluate the statistics to produce a more accurate picture.

I reject the notion that Cedrism has 'never' been popular in Kildare, the Cult of Sakat has its seat in Melangia which is even more to the east of Norfolk. Soloralism has actually been classified as part of the Cedrist faith in this survey. (OOC: I know this is patently false, but it is a matter of Aryashti government classing all 'old Shireroth' religions as alike; and the relationship between these two, Soloralism and Cedrism, strengthening against Ritam, Catologism, etc. as they appear.)

The Cult of Sakat is indeed a cult which is popular everywhere in Kildare but has almost nothing to do with Cedrism in those regions. It is a common practice for Kildari that the God of Historians is worshiped by both Soloralists as Catologians (and the very small Cedrist community). That said, even while Norfolk is a backwater, it's very unlikely that it would have any importance. It's more likely, like you said, that the government is mixing things up (like claiming the Cult being Cedrism and counting Soloralism and Cedrism together. Damn bureaucrats! =p ).

Well, Cedrism is a very wide religion, it doesn't have a centralised church structure and one could well argue that someone who worships Sakat, who doesn't recognise the rest of the Cedrist pantheon, might be considered some kind of Cedrist, possibly not even a heretic. It's a matter for debate, which can take place elsewhere, because here the bureaucracy rules it out. :wink:

I consider it weird, as the Kildarian government promoted Catologian faith as kind of state religion. I think you clerks have to be replaced. :wink:

The Aryashti government actively supported non Kildarian tendencies during its rule.
