Although the history of Arzalism is difficult to trace, it is generally accepted that Arzalism has been the religion of the Varshani people since time immemorial, though it has undergone major changes through the millennia. The advent of the main tenets of [[Orthodox Arzalism]] - primacy of the Death God and human sacrifice - occurred in [[1408]]. Efforts by the Varshani state to extinguish other Arzal religious practices failed, although these groups quickly lost cohesion and went underground. | Although the history of Arzalism is difficult to trace, it is generally accepted that Arzalism has been the religion of the Varshani people since time immemorial, though it has undergone major changes through the millennia.
