State Arzalism began to be developed by authorities within the League occupation government in consultation with some clerics on the ground as well as a broad number of individuals in the minority of Arzalist belief. This included many outcast groups, but for the most part State Arzalism has emerged from a top-down amalgamating of traditional [[Arzalism#Solar_Arzalism|Solar Arzalism]] with some elements of [[Arzalism#Postmodern_Arzalism|Postmodern Arzalism]], [[M'acunism]], and even some [[Occidental]] theological concepts. A small number of [[Arzalism#Racial_Arzalism|Racial Arzalist]] groups also influenced the new faith, but most rejected it. The elevation of the Sun God [[Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|back to a place of prominence]] was both a deliberate policy choice as well as a somewhat organic occurrence among Arzalists in the lower castes, some of whom were observed worshipping the sun following the end of the authority of [[Anzo]]. | State Arzalism began to be developed by authorities within the League occupation government in consultation with some clerics on the ground as well as a broad number of individuals in the minority of Arzalist belief.

Occidental cultural experts began a series of conferences in [[2026]] and [[2027]] with prominent Solar Arzalist leaders as well as the small number of reconstructed clerics (almost all of whom were of the petty priestly caste) in order to establish a new paradigm of orthodoxy. The "[[Tizro]] Conferences" reached no significant conclusions but instead sought to limit Occidental influences within the redeveloped Arzalism, and so empaneled a new group of seven of their own number, the so-called "Faith Viziers". From [[2027]] through [[2030]] the Faith Viziers conducted an extensive review of historic Varshani records made available for the first time, and after three years of study produced the broad outlines of what they called the "Body of Restored Faith"; the "Body of Restored Faith" is the basic body of belief of State Arzalism. This set of beliefs purports to bring back the key elements of the pre-[[Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|Žuqulid]] reforms to Arzalism as they were ca. 1300, and in some cases these beliefs would be interpreted or reinterpreted through "newly available philosophical lenses", a phrase largely understood to mean both Occidental and | Occidental cultural experts began a series of conferences in [[2026]] and [[2027]] with prominent Solar Arzalist leaders as well as the small number of reconstructed clerics (almost all of whom were of the petty priestly caste) in order to establish a new paradigm of orthodoxy.

The Seven Viziers work is ongoing, but the "Body of Restored Faith" was condensed and published to serve as both an interim liturgical guide and interim holy text for State Arzalist believers for the foreseeable future. | ||

Daxian officials have stated that strengthening the traditions of the Varshani people are necessary to "prevent Occidental erosion of the local culture," and accordingly the maintenance of Arzalism is viewed as a policy priority. | ||
