| − | The '''Cult of Returned''' |
+ | The '''Cult of Returned''' is a religion on [[Nalthis]] that eventually grew into the [[Iridescent Tones]], the theocratic government of [[Hallandren]] in the time of [[Susebron]].{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} |
| + | Their beliefs and practices are essentially the same as those of the modern Hallendren people: the [[Returned]] are seen as Gods with a great task to carry out, and are supplied with [[Breath]] and kept alive until they can perform it, after which they are free to give away their Divine Breath and die a second time. |

| − | == History == |
||
| − | [[Austrism]] was once the primary religion of [[Hanald]], the kingdom that preceded [[Hallandren]] and [[Idris]].{{book ref|wb|15}} The doctrine of Austrism held that a deity named Austre resurrected the Returned.{{book ref|wb|15}} However, the Cult of Returned believed that the Returned themselves were gods. They believed that their duty was to care for their gods and supply them with [[BioChromatic Breath]] until they could perform a divine task, after which they were free to give away their divine Breath and die a second time.{{wob ref|4495}} When [[Vasher]] Returned, the Cult of Returned found him, provided him with Breaths, and gave him the name Warbreaker the Peaceful.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} The Cult of Returned also knew of [[Shashara]] and named her Glorysinger.{{wob ref|6954}} |

| − | After the [[Manywar]] and the shattering of Hanald, Austrism turned its back on [[Awakening]] and began to consider it an abomination.{{book ref|wb|46}}{{book ref|wb|25}} The worship of Returned was considered "pagan", a perspective that is maintained by modern day followers of Austrism.{{book ref|wb|15}} Meanwhile, the Cult of Returned came to prominence in Hallandren, evolving into the [[Iridescent Tones]].{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} The religion presumably became entrenched in Hallandren when Vasher created the first [[God King]] by bestowing [[Peacegiver's Treasure]].{{book ref|wb|40}} Although the rule of the Returned is not without fault,{{wob ref|4495}} citizens of Hallandren still generally follow many of the tenets first established by the Cult of Returned. |
