Austrin teachings also said there was nothing wrong with feelings, but drawing attention to yourself with them was wrong.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
Austrism, as practiced by Idrians considers Breaths to be intimately linked to the human souls. For that reason Austre followers consider holding the Breaths of others to be a sin, and using them to Awaken to be an even greater sin. However, Vasher has stated that such intolerance toward Awakening only emerged after the Manywar.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
