Like other strains of Arzalism, Orthodox Arzalism emphasized sacrifice and believed in a large pantheon of gods. Unlike other Arzal sects, Orthodox Arzalism emphasized the role of the Death God and the preeminance of {{wp|human sacrifice}}. | ||
Although Orthodox Arzalism as the state religion existed for centuries, it took on most of its major features in the 15th century, when the Varshani ruler Žuqul I proclaimed the Death God as the paramount deity over the Sun God. From the [[Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|Great Edict of Žuqul]] to the culmination of [[the Deluge]], Orthodox Arzalism was inextricably fused with the Varshani state. After the [[Final War of the Deluge]], Orthodox Arzalism became illegal in [[League-occupied Varshan]] and most places abroad. In the areas of Varshan where Arzalism was reestablished, it was replaced by [[State Arzalism]] while other forms of Arzalism were legalized. | Although Orthodox Arzalism as the state religion existed for centuries, it took on most of its major features in the 15th century, when the Varshani ruler Žuqul I proclaimed the Death God as the paramount deity over the Sun God.
