The Church of Kruis (Kruisianism) is arguably the smallest religion in the Five Kingdoms. It originated in the Kingdom of Altalissia and has its roots within the Ibriy Faith.
Overview
There is one God who predates creation, and
though words that God created everything. He is supreme. Having watched
humanity's latterly-inherent evil destroy that creation, the creator has warned
of creation's forthcoming destruction and replacement with one untainted by
evil.
Deity
Without name, though his human incarnation is
known as Kruis
Holy Books
The Good Book, comprised of the life and
teachings of Kruis, and the old books inherited from the Ibriy.
Salvation
Recompence of each man's evil has been paid by
the self-sacrifice of Kruis, but all are required to call on His Name to be saved.
Thereafter, the presence of the Spirit of Cruis inhabits the redeemed, freeing
them from evil's grasp.

The Afterlife
Heaven or Paradise, a place of complete peace and
tranquility, awaits those who have call on Kruis for salvation. Conversely, Hell, reserved for
those who have rejected Kruis, is ambiguous and variaous traditions have their
own interpretation ranging from liberal thoughts of its non-existence, to an
ultimate obliteration of the soul, to an
eternal torment of the damned, sometimes including lurid descriptions of
eternal flames and various tortures by malevolent demons.
Many such
descriptions are rejected by more traditional Kruisian groups.
