'''Shu-Dereth''' is one of the major religions on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Shu-Dereth is an offshoot of [[Shu-Keseg]]. It was founded by [[Dereth]], a disciple of [[Keseg]]. However, Shu-Dereth differs from Shu-Keseg in the way that it focuses on the equalityunity of obedience, rather than the equalityunity 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. Followers of Shu-Dereth are known as Derethi, and the religion's holy book is called the Do-Dereth.
 
Dereth’s ideas were originally rejected in his native [[JinDo]]; however, they were embraced by the Fjordell. Shu-Dereth has been the official religion of Fjorden since the conversion of [[Wulfden the First]] and has spread to all of the eastern nations.{{glossary ref|Elantris|S}} Since that time, the leader of Shu-Dereth takes receives the title [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] upon his ascension. Wyrn acts both as Jaddeth's prophet and regent during his entrapment on earth.
