The mainstream religion within Teŕazta is the Valerite Church, a Sui Iuris Church which is in communion with the Catholic Church. Founded some time in the 2nd century AD by St. Quintus Valerius.

The Rite began in the caves and mines of Xelphia among the slaves and prisoners who toiled in the extensive mines in the region. The Setting for the Mass has changed very little, with the mass itself taking place within rocky Dugouts and underground churches. These churches are dimly lit, with the lack of visibility meant to convey importance of hearing rather than seeing. The Candles of the altar are hidden from view at the moment of consecration, with the only sensory information being the sound of the priests chanting and the bells. The Eucharist is then lead in a procession from the underground church to an above ground structure called a "Cubiculos" where it is displayed for adoration.

The Church places a high emphasis on both contemplation and meditation and boasts a high number of vocations to religious life.

The Valerite Church plays an important role in the lives of the Teŕaztanii, not only offering the sacraments but also playing a vital role in the politics of the nation.
