'''Austre''' was the deity of the [[Idrian]] people on [[Nalthis]]. He was often called "God of Colors". {{ref|b|wb|c|1}}
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.
According to the Austrism, Austre commands the [[Returned]] to come back to life, and gives [[Breath]]s 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|A quote from ne of [[Vo]]'s [[Five Visions]]{{ref|b|wb|c|13}}|}}
The Visions teach virtues of humility, sacrifice and seeing another's problems before your own.{{ref|b|wb|c|40}} They teach that no man man should try to put oneself above the others, and that Austre regards all people equally.{{ref|b|wb|c|19}}
Acting ostentatiously, rejecting people because of their sins and flaunting one's talents were seen as sins.{{ref|b|wb|c|19}}{{ref|b|wb|c|20}}
Austrin teachings also said there was nothing wrong with feelings, but drawing attention to yourself with them was wrong.{{ref|b|wb|c|1}}
Austrism, as practiced by [[Idrian]]s considers Breaths to be intimately linked to the human souls. For that reason Austre followers consider holding the [[Breath]]s 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]].{{ref|b|wb|c|40}}
