Palairism

Palairism, the former state religion of Valatia, is centered around the idea that magic is an absolute good and it is the duty of every good Palairist to study and practice magic. It is built around the central concepts that magic is an absolute good and that it is greater than the natural world. The natural world should serve that which is both good and greater, so Palairists serve and learn magic. The Palairic Temple was the official religious organization that regulated the religion's tenets. It occupied a large part in the Valatian government and enjoyed great power and prominence. After The Shattering in 234 4A for which Palairism was blamed, Palairism was targeted by a coordinated effort from the Luonnic Church and several prominent figures in the government. Public opinion changed rapidly and the country went through great change and restructuring of society to remove the traces of Palairism in government and civil life in Valatia.
