| - Murserism is a religion that originated over a millennium ago in the Kalaal region and today has over 12 million followers, most of whom live in Lurberas. It's primary teaching is that Mursa Kolaan was chosen by the supreme being, Setogh, to write the Kirvia, the religion's sacred text, over the course of twenty years in which she details how Setogh gifted her with the teseran, or divine insight, which allowed her to understand the true nature of Setogh and his creations: the universe, the world, and humanity. According to the Kirvia, Setogh also revealed to Kolaan the existence of Pesbir, an evil being who was created from the hatred, anger, lust, greed, and jealously of mankind. Murserism teaches that Pesbir continues to grow stronger as long as humanity remains deviant and if his growth is not stopped, he will bring about the destruction of humanity. Those who are loyal to Setogh are promised to be protected from Pesbir's annihilation, a doctrine known as the Khost, while those who rejected Setogh's commands and helped Pesbir grow stronger will be left to suffer in eternal darkness rife of despair and void of hope. Also found in the Kirvia are many accounts of Kolaan's life before and after her revelation as well as instructions on how to live righteously in accordance with Setogh's will. In order to spread their faith beyond Kalaal, descendants of Kolaan's original followers sailed to Lurberas and began proselytize by introducing the Kirvia and building many temples and chapels. The religion spread quickly throughout Lurberas and resulted in the conversion of King June I who proclaimed Lurberas was to be a Murserist state. This began a period of Murserist dominance in Lurberan society and culture whose effects can be still seen today. This lasted until the abolition of the monarchy in 1879 which occurred during an era when Enlightenment ideals where beginning to take hold in Lurberas. Since then, Murserism has become a minority religion and has had a distraught and strained relationship with the now irreligious majority. Calls and support for an independent Murserist state, which is known as Murserist domainism, has grown in recent years, especially following the 2008 Zeitu riots. Within popular culture, Murserism is well-known for it's elaborate funeral practices which are rooted in the belief that a deceased person's spirit must be guided into the appropriate afterlife. The core teachings of Murserism also include Kolaan's infallibility, the five characteristics of Setogh, and humanity's preeminence in the universe. Themes found in the Kirvia include isolation, redemption, and temptation, reverence for the truth.
