The '''Venua Faith''' is a system of religious beliefs indigenous to [[Venua'tino]]. Originating as a {{wp|Religious syncretism|syncretic combination}} of both [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] and [[Arzalism|Arzalist]] traditions. Unlike the {{wp|monolatry|monolatristic}} of both Arzalism and M'acunism, the Venua Faith believes in only two gods, personified by the sun and moon respectively. These two gods exist in a semi-{{wp|Dualism in cosmology|dualist}} state, an extremely unusual development in northern [[Crona]]n religion. | |||
The Venua Faith is believed my most to have originated during the [[Venua%27tino#Polar_Captaincy|centuries-long Varshani occupation]] of the region, although it likely derived from a pre-extant regional variation on traditional M'acunism. | The Venua Faith is believed my most to have originated during the [[Venua%27tino#Polar_Captaincy|centuries-long Varshani occupation]] of the region, although it likely derived from a pre-extant regional variation on traditional M'acunism. | ||
