'''Austrism'''
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}}
According to the Austrism, Austre commands the [[Returned]] to come back to life, and gives [[Breath]] to humanity.
The fundamental tenets of the religion are called the [[Five Visions]].{{ref|b|wb|c|13}} These
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 one of [[Vo]]'s [[Five Visions]]{{ref|b|wb|c|13}}|}}
The Visions teach the 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}}

Monks of Austrism (also called Idrian monks)
[[Brandon]] designed the monks to have duties which were not very religious, and instead were supposed to act as servants to the kingdom's poor in a very formalized way.{{ref|annotation|wb|chapter=3-2}} For example, if a man breaks his leg and can't work, a monk will take his place in the job. Occasionally, if a father dies and can't support his family, a monk is permanently assigned to his place at work and provides for that man's family.
