'''Turruism''', called '''Turrisuea''' (<small>IPA</small>: /tuɹ̠ʷ.ɪs̺u.eə/) in the [[Azkali language]], is a term describing either a single religion with widespread variance of practices, or family of closely related semi-organized [[Azkali religions]], religious beliefs, spiritual beliefs, and philosophical beliefs. Turruism is [[Azkali]]'s native belief system, and is possibly one of, if not the oldest religion in the world. ~~It's~~ homeland is in northeastern [[Yamahat]], alongside where Azkali culture likely first developed. In the modern era, Turruism only has a substantial following in [[Azkali]], where it is followed by approximately 80% of the population. Elsewhere, it is followed by roughly a third of all [[Azkalis in Kalilonde]], about a million Azkalis in [[Loremesia]], 400,000 Azkalis in [[Alloti]], and about 250,000 in [[Mallia]], for a combined following of approximately 6,750,000 people.

There are many different sects of Turruism, with widely differing practices and beliefs, but all are unified by several beliefs and principles. All are unified by the worship of a primordial creator goddess called ''[[Mari (Turruism)|Mari]],'' along with her mortal kali husband ''[[Ari (Turruism)|Ari]]'', the ''[[Atuskireka (Turruism)|Atuskireka]],'' the pantheon of gods who are believed to be the offspring of Mari and Ari, and the ''[[Remotsa (Turruism)|Remotsa]],'' the thousands of others "personal deities" worshipped by individuals. All gods are worshipped at public temples called ''[[yarizkache]],'' and at private temples (usually found in workplaces, one's home, etc) called ''[[ekeyariak]].'' Turruism places an important conceptual focus on both individual and collective pleasure and satisfaction, or ''[[Raosi (Turruism)|raosi]]'' in Azkali, in addition to service for the community and family, called ''tanga'', and it is believed an equal-as-possible balance of these two concepts solicits the approval of the gods. Turruism has no single creator or specific doctrine, and instead exists in a diverse range of local and regional forms.

One of the most important facets of Turruist belief — commonly used by scholars to determine if a specific sect can be considered Turruist in the truest sense — is the idea that all sapient beings are composed of two elements; the mind, ''[[Kelen (Turruism(|kelen]]'', and the body, ''[[Naichiruz (Turruism)|naichiruz]]'', with both being as equally intelligent and ~~aware~~ as the other, and both requiring the other for survival — making the individual, which is collectively referred to as the ''[[Karineu (Azkali)|karineu]]'', one part of a collective mutual relationship, a concept which is called ''[[~~Haitzakire~~ (Turruism)|~~haitzakire~~]]''~~. It is thus important for various rituals to appease both parts of the ''karineu,'' though mostly the ''naichiruz'', in order to ensure one's longetivity~~.

A vast majority of Turruist schools share many characteristics with Šertikism, specifically polyatrous Šertikism, and (Qarvaban religion)

== Beliefs ==

Most followers of Turruism and movements of Turruism prioritize ritual behavior over doctrine, though movements exist concerned primarily with theological doctrine, with less importance given to ritual behavior. As such, the beliefs within Turruism vary between geographic region and movement. There are many characteristics shared between all variants, however.

=== Theology ===

Turruist theology is profoundly polytheistic, with the Atuskireka alone featuring a pantheon of twenty-seven deities. In Turruist theology, there is a hierarchy of deities based on the family tree of the deities, featuring three "levels"~~: the~~ first level, the ''Anata Itungiana'', solely consists of ''Mari'', the creator of the universe''.'' The second level, the ''Anata Sarigezalairrana,'' solely consists of Ari, a mortal Kali male who married Mari and was deified as a result. The last level, the ''Anata Iriuti'', consists of the rest of the deities, of which it is believed are the offspring of Mari and Ari. There are ~~twenty five~~ deities comprising the Anata Iriuti, which are ~~shown below~~:

* '''Gatzi''' is the goddess of non-sapient life (all life except Humans, Kalis, Kaneeds, Qoxonits, and Kjarebis), time, and beginnings.

* '''Sugari''' is the deity of the ''naichiruz'', all sapient life, emotion, and intelligence.

* '''Oriko''' is the god of individuality, community, cities and towns, roads, and physical growth.

In Turruism, there exists a distinction made between two types of shrines.

An '''Echuruke''' (from "house" ''ech-'', "shrine, place of worship" -''uru''-, and the plural forming suffix -''ke'') is a shrine located in a private location, most typically a private dwelling. A '''Haenuruke''' (from "plaza" ''haen'') is a shrine located in a public area. There is little functional difference between the two

Despite Turruism's unorganized nature, most Turruist scholars classify most varieties as belonging to several ''tizkaraike'', which can be translated as "sect", but literally means "schools". As such, Turruist ''tizkaraike'' are often referred to as schools, when in other religions the term sect may be used. There are four main schools of Turruism, and each vary largely in specific practices but differ less so (but still fairly significantly) as a whole. These schools are the '''Izkirainat school''', '''Makazagezeron school, Eiteserri school,''' and the '''Shiraz school.'''
