The Larsta people were banished from their land, which had held many complex traditions and rules. In response, they made their religion as simple as possible.{{book ref\|mb2\|48}} [[Mare]] was a follower of the Larsta faith, converting to it after [[Sazed]] had preached it to her.{{book ref\|mb3\|10}} ~~Larstaism~~Sazed ~~focused~~evaluates onLarstaism ~~"seeking the divine" through art and~~for ~~creation~~truth ~~rather~~longer than onother ~~answering~~pre-Ascension ~~existential~~religions ~~questions~~because orit ~~discussing~~did ~~the~~not ~~afterlife.~~seem ~~Larsta~~to ~~monks~~have ~~were~~any ~~artists~~illogical ~~that were supported by the~~or ~~Larsta~~contradictory ~~people~~tenets.{{book ~~The~~ref\|mb3\|10}} ~~Larsta~~He ~~left~~uses ~~many of the~~their descriptions of Scadrial's pre-ascension plants and animals, such as the [[~~Mare's~~Marewill ~~flower~~flowers]] ~~that Sazed uses~~, to model new ~~flowers~~flora. ~~from.~~ == Beliefs == ~~[[Sazed]] considered Larstaism as the truth longer than other pre-ascension religions because it has no illogical or contradictory tenets that he can find.{{ref\|b\|mb3\|c\|10}}~~ Simplicity was a key tenet of the Larsta faith, and it focused on the simple beauty of nature.{{book ref\|mb2\|48}} They believed in "seeking the divine" through art and creation rather than on answering existential questions or discussing the afterlife. Since not everyone could create art, Larsta society donated money to talented monks so that they would be able to paint, sculpt and write poetry which would then benefit the entire society -- they believed art brought them closer to understanding divinity. Flowers were a subject of Larsta poetry. ~~It is a very similar religion to the Hallandren [[Iridescent Tones]], one of the main religions on [[Nalthis]].{{cite}}~~ Larstaism had a religious hierarchy, and Larsta priests wrote poetry about the world's beauty while they meditated.{{book ref\|mb3\|82}} Prayer materials, scriptures, notes and writings were also used in the religion.{{book ref\|mb3\|10}} Larsta weddings required only a declaration of love before a local priest, and they did not believe in divorce.{{book ref\|mb2\|48}} It is discussed in [[Harmony]]'s ''[[Beliefs Reborn]]''.
