'''Austre''' was the deity of the [[Idrian]] people on [[Nalthis]]. He was often called "God of Colors".
In the [[Warbreaker]], Austre is usually referred to with a male pronoun. Before the [[Manywar]] and the exile of the Royal family, people of [[Hallandren]] also used to worship him. {{ref|b|wb|c|15}}
The name of the corresponding religion was Austrism.
===Teachings===
According to the Austrism, Austre commands the [[Returned]] to come back to life, and gives [[Breaths]] to the humans.
The fundamental tenets of the religion are called the Five Visions {{ref|b|wb|c|13}}. These were the visions had by Vo, the First [[Returned]], before he died{{ref|b|wb|c|20}}.
One of the Visions includes the following line:
{{quote|"I saw men who placed themselves above others, and I saw them cast down"|{{ref|b|wb|c|13}}|}}
The Visions teach that no man should search to assume
He was the true God of men, the one who sent the Returned.
lus, we've got the Returned-including the First Returned, Vo. He had the Five Visions before he died, and they must have come from somewhere.
She loved the teachings of the Five Visions. Humility. Sacrifice. Seeing another's problems before your own.
Austre regards all people equally.
But if you reject us because of our sins, aren't you acting ostentatious
Austre gave all men talents. Flaunting them was seen as arrogance.
They let you see the surface of the land as it extends upward, toward Austre's domain in the sky.
Austrin teachings said there was nothing wrong with feelings, but drawing attention to yourself with them was wrong.
Austrism 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.
