'''Shu-Dereth''' is one of the major religions on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Shu-Dereth is an offshoot of [[Shu-Keseg]], but focuses on the equality of obedience, rather than the equality of mind. Shu-Dereth is based on the worship of [[Jaddeth]], a God who is said to slumber in the earth, waiting for a time when the whole world worships him to return and rule the world. Shu-Dereth is a highly militaristic religion, and is based on a regimented ranking, known as the '''Great Chain'''. The leader of Shu-Dereth, who acts both as Jaddeth's prophet and regent during his entrapment in the earth, takes the name [[Wyrn]] as a title upon his ascension to the position.
