The continent has several widely used names. The most commonly used, "''Alshar''", descends from the Arabic word الشرق (lit. "''east''", "alshrq"). The term is thought to have originated with [[Occidental]] explorers being sent to the continent east of [[Audonia]], referred to by the explorers simply as the "eastern land". | The continent has several widely used names.

Alshar is home to a broad range of religious denominations. Islam was brought over to southern Alshar by the expanding Oduniyyad caliphate in the 800's and today both Sunni, Shia Twelver and smaller schools have large number of adherents in various parts of the continent. In similar fashion Christianity arrived by way of missionaries arriving with Levantine colonizers and while the majority of its current practitioners are of Levantine descent, smaller native congregations do exist under some of the more tolerant regimes. Forms of animism and ancestor worship are widespread. [[Corumm]] enforces an almost blanket ban on all religions thereby being one of the only nations to have state enforced atheism. | Alshar is home to a broad range of religious denominations.
