-The Irrishites are an loosely organized [[wp>​religion]] whose roots is found among the [[atlas:Irill|Irillian]] people. Its basic tenets include that all life upon this world sprung from the blood of [[lore:​Irrish]] or [[lore:​Casis]] that was spilled as they warred. The Irrishites are led by the Magistri who are those humans, traditionally of Irillian descent, that have awakened the blood and can call upon the power of Irrish.+The Irrishites are an loosely organized [[wp>​religion]] whose roots is found among the [[orgs:irillians]]. Its basic tenets include that all life upon this world sprung from the blood of [[lore:​Irrish]] or [[lore:​Casis]] that was spilled as they warred. The Irrishites are led by the Magistri who are those humans, traditionally of Irillian descent, that have awakened the blood and can call upon the power of Irrish.
  
 Unlike many religions the Irrishites relationship with both the Sha’rek’ta and Magistri is as teacher to student. All who hold the blood of Irrish seek to join with her and thus quicken her return to this world. Her return marks the beginning of the Elisium (Time of Paradise) where she will reign for ten thousand years before Casis is reborn, thus beginning the cycle anew. Unlike many religions the Irrishites relationship with both the Sha’rek’ta and Magistri is as teacher to student.

-The Irrishites are those humans who have awakened to the blood of Irrish that runs through their body. They have accepted the Sha’rek’ta as their teachers and are guided along the path by the Magistri. Unlike the priests of the [[Temple of Light]], Irrishites gather not in large temples but in simply outdoor gatherings. These societas (Fellowships) welcome all who seek the truth whether they have awakened or not.+The Irrishites are those humans who have awakened to the blood of Irrish that runs through their body.

 The Irrishites are loosely gathered into smaller societas that are formed around the magistri. It is quite possible for two or more societas to be in the same area even if that area is just a small town. This most often occurs when there is a splinter within an existing societa that drives some members away. This not only happens frequently, but is in fact encouraged and in most cases the two groups reform within a few years. This was not always the case and in fact only came out after the maxima corrigenda (Primal Correction) when the Irrishites cleansed themselves of the corruption caused by the Prima Cognoscens (First Inquisitor). The Irrishites are loosely gathered into smaller societas that are formed around the magistri.

 +==== Corpus Domini ====
 +
 +A fallen title that was only used during the Holy Irillian Empire from 1231 - 1951 AE. The translation is Embodiment of God and was invoked to lift the Maximus Magister above all others. The Corpus Domini transcended their name and other worldly titles, becoming the voice and agent of Irrish. After the near destruction by the elves and the rising reformation of the new Irrishites this title no longer carries any meaning.

-The Irrishites believe in the "Wheel of Life" upon which everything in existence turns. Outside of the wheel is only the [[lore:​Void]] or "​nothingness"​. As the wheel spins so does time pass and everything that has happened will happen again. The closer you are to the center of the wheel the more the passage of time become meaningless and the more you understand.+The Irrishites believe in the "Wheel of Life" upon which everything in existence turns.

The closer you are to the center of the wheel the more the passage of time become meaningless and the more you understand.
  
 At the center of the wheel lies Irrish who was born when existence sprang from the nothingness. She understands all things and exists during all times. Each Irrishite seeks to understand the power of Irrish that is inside all of them and therefore gain mastery over that power. Only humans and the Sha’rek’ta may achieve the perfection of return to Irrish for only they came from her. At the center of the wheel lies Irrish who was born when existence sprang from the nothingness.

 Upon this world the Great Serpent [[lore:​Irrish]] battled the [[lore:​Casis]],​ lord of the underworld. It was a titanic struggle that finally ended when Irrish drove Casis back into the underworld where she slew Casis. However, it was a pyhrric victory as Irrish'​s blood covered the world and she was near death. Irrish, tired from battle, consumed the body of Casis and would stay in the underworld until her wounds healed. Upon this world the Great Serpent [[lore:​Irrish]] battled the [[lore:​Casis]],​ lord of the underworld.

-Upon the world new came new life. Where her blood mixed with the earth rose a race calling themselves the [[bestiary:​Sha’rek’ta]]. Filled with the blood of Irrish they could speak the words of power and command the elements and beasts of this world. The Sha’rek’ta built great cities upon this world to honor Irrish as they worked to rebuild the land devastated by Casis. Inside these cities they constructed [[lore:​great machines]] to control the power of this world for their own benefit.+Upon the world new came new life.

-As Irrish begot the Sha’rek’ta,​ so to did the Sha’rek’ta beget children. Using their power, they gave life to the many beasts that wandered the world. These races became known as the [[bestiary:kithkin]], [[bestiary:jundari]], [[bestiary:golin|goblins]], [[bestiary:hashan]], [[bestiary:​orc|orcs]],​ [[bestiary:​troll|trolls]] and many others. To watch over their creations, they opened a gateway into the [[lore:​Shadow Realms]] and called forth the [[bestiary:​elf|elves]],​ [[bestiary:​dwarf|dwarves]],​ [[bestiary:​hippogriff|hippogriffs]],​ and [[bestiary:merfolk]]. They entrusted these [[bestiary:​fae|faerie]] races with caring and teaching of their children.+As Irrish begot the Sha’rek’ta,​ so to did the Sha’rek’ta beget children.

-As the blood of Irrish gave birth to the Sha’rek’ta so to did the blood of Casis gave birth to a new race called [[bestiary:daemon]]. Being born of Casis these daemoniorum were twisted, corrupt, and fed on the death of others. Like those whose blood flowed through them, the Sha’rek’ta and Daemoniorum fought each other with all the power. Many of the races created by the Sha’rek’ta fought alongside them, although some like the orcs, goblins, and trolls were corrupted and fought beside the Daemoniorum. The fae returned to their enchanted lands and drove out any seeking refuge.+As the blood of Irrish gave birth to the Sha’rek’ta so to did the blood of Casis gave birth to a new race called [[creatures:daemon]].

 For a thousand years the Sha’rek’ta and Daemoniorum fought and the world burned. The great cities of the Sha’rek’ta crumbled and the great machines they built within them were destroyed. In time as Irrish had destroyed Casis so to did the Sha’rek’ta destroy the Daemoniorum. The few Daemoniorum still living fled from this world into the endless sea of darkness (see [[lore:​Infernal Realms]]). The few remaining Sha’rek’ta looked over the world in despair and the world they created to honor Irrish was nearly destroyed and violent chaotic storms (see [[lore:​magestorm|magestorms]]) raked the land that remained. For a thousand years the Sha’rek’ta and Daemoniorum fought and the world burned.

-To heal the land, Mortis used what blood remained in his body to open a door into the underworld. Using this door Draconis, the most powerful of the Sha’rek’ta,​ brought earth from the underworld that had been soaked in the blood of Irrish. He fashioned this earth into a pleasing form and breathed life into it, he called this new race [[bestiary:​human|humans]] and declared them the true progeny of Irrish.+To heal the land, Mortis used what blood remained in his body to open a door into the underworld.

-Magnus took some of the humans and with his help they consumed the magestorms and calmed the land. When Draconis saw this he decreed that these [[lore:magi]] would lead and teach their brethren. The Sha’rek’ta had grown distrustful of the fae as they still hid in their lands while the other races struggled to survive. The Sha’rek’ta looked down upon the magi and were pleased.+Magnus took some of the humans and with his help they consumed the magestorms and calmed the land.

-Some of the races sided with the Sha’rek’ta against the demons, while other sided with the demons. This war, and the vast power used, eventually drew the attention of the [[bestiary:gods]] from the [[lore:​Divine ​Realm]]. The gods arrived upon the world and helped the Sha’rek’ta drive the demons back into the underworld. Not all of the gods supported the Sha’rek’ta,​ some of them (called Dark Gods) believed the demons were stronger and more worthy of their attention.+Some of the races sided with the Sha’rek’ta against the demons, while other sided with the demons.

 Battles were fought not only across the world, but between the realms and eventually between small moments of time. The land was torn asunder as the natural laws were turned upon their head by the power as the gods, demons, and Sha’rek’ta struggled for control. In the end, that much destructive power was too much for the world to bear and soon chaotic [[lore:​magestorm|magestorms]] were destroying the few parts of the world not already destroyed by the gods or demons. All would have been lost had the demons not kept the gate open into the underworld. Seeing her world on the brink of destruction,​ Irrish used what power remained in her to attack both gods and demons. Battles were fought not only across the world, but between the realms and eventually between small moments of time.
