'''Turruism''', called '''Turrisuea''' in the [[Azkali language]], is a term describing either a single religion with widespread variance of practices, or family of closely related unorganized [[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. Its 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'' 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.
