Sorhaithe as a concept originated after the [[Saelish Crusade]], with the [[Knights of St. Selyn]] establishing two Church-governed bishoprics in the conquered Kingdom of Svaerige. Svaerige was at the time partly colonized by [[Vithinja|Vithinjan]] settlers, primarily in the population centers on the coast and in the Isles of the Saelish Archipelago. As a result, the boundaries of the diocese created separated the region into Gathlan, consisting of the southern regions, and the more populous Saelia. The term 'Sorhaithe' originated from the Saelish term for 'here' (''haithe'', from the [[Fiannria|Faeskt]] word ''haigh''), in reference to the northern Diocese and as a general alternative for Saelia which included Christianized Vithinjans. Subsequent pogroms against pagan communities (including both Vithinjan and local cults) frequently involved the name as a rallying cry, only falling out of favor beginning with the persecution of the [[Northern Rite|Northern Churches]] for heresy beginning in 1452. | Sorhaithe as a concept originated after the [[Saelish Crusade]], with the [[Knights of St. Selyn]] establishing two Church-governed bishoprics in the conquered Kingdom of Svaerige.
