=== Religion ===
The Iriali worship a god they call "The One", thought to be equivalent to the Vorin [[Almighty]].{{cite}} One knew everything but had experienced nothing. And so One became Many in order to experience all things. As each experience is different, it brings completeness to One. Eventually, all will be gathered back in when the sum of land is attained and they will once again become One. Every person is a different mind of a single being experiencing different lives. As Many, they need ignorance. Each fragment of the One’s mind has its own body with different passions and inclinations. They exist in variety to experience all kinds of thought. That means some people must know and others must not. Just like some people must be rich and others poor.
It is likely that this belief is the same one spread by [[Arclo]].{{cite}}
