[[Austrism]] was the predominant religion of Hanald when it was founded, and the Idrian royal family itself followed it.{{book ref|wb|15}} At the same time the [[Cult of the Returned]] formed and began to worship the Returned, believing that each individual had been sent from [[Austre]] in order to fulfil a mission. They were the individuals who discovered, maintained, and named Warbreaker the Peaceful{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} and Glorysinger.{{wob ref|6954}}
Three hundred years after the arrival of Vo,{{book ref|wb|32}} these Returned would be renamed as [[Vasher|Talaxin]] and [[Shashara]] respectively and joined with other Returned{{wob ref|5839}} [[Arsteel]], [[Yesteel]] and [[Denth|VaraTreledees]] to form the [[Five Scholars]]. The years preceding the Manywar were ones of quick discovery about Awakening led by the Scholars.{{book ref|wb|32}} Beyond this, some of them became [[worldhoppers]].{{wob ref|1737}} Their discoveries about Awakening and their exploration of the [[cosmere]] cemented the legacy of these Nalthians as early scholars of the cosmere by those at [[Silverlight]].{{wob ref|1548}}
Tensions between Hanald and its neighbors began to grow due to a wide variety of factors; for one, their stranglehold on the world's dye economy caused resentment to grow against them. Major discoveries in the art of Awakening also worsened relations as it was discovered how to awaken [[Lifeless]] with a single Breath instead of fifty.{{book ref|wb|32}} In addition to this, Yesteel discovered ichor-alcohol. These discoveries allowed nations to double the size of their armies and made the already durable Lifeless even stronger and longer lasting.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} The situation worsened even more when Shashara revealed both secrets to the entire world, allowing every nation to benefit.{{book ref|wb|53}}
