Although the history of Arzalism is difficult to trace, it is generally accepted that Arzalism has been the religion of the Varshani people since time immemorial, though it has undergone major changes through the millennia. The advent of the main tenets of [[Orthodox Arzalism]] - primacy of the Death God and human sacrifice - occurred in [[1408]]. Efforts by the Varshani state to extinguish other Arzal religious practices failed, although these groups quickly lost cohesion and went underground. | Although the history of Arzalism is difficult to trace, it is generally accepted that Arzalism has been the religion of the Varshani people since time immemorial, though it has undergone major changes through the millennia.

Arzalism is in a place of transition since the [[Fall of Anzo]]. The functional dissolution of [[Orthodox Arzalism]] has created a major religious vacuum in Varshan. While most Varshani people, as of [[2030]], remain Arzalist in some form, the religion is facing both external and internal pressures. Externally, Occidental occupying powers have an interest in protecting (and expanding, in the case of [[Urcea]]) the role of [[Christianity in Varshan]]. Internally, several competing reform movements have attempted to ensure the faith's long-term survival, most prominently [[State Arzalism]]. | |||
