'''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[[Keshu]]. However, Shu-Dereth differs from Shu-Keseg in the way that it 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. 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 Wyrn Wulfden the First and has spread to all of the eastern nations{{bws ref|books/elantris/elantris/elantris-glossary|Elantris Glossary|date=2013-08-30}}. Since that time, the leader of Shu-Dereth takes the name [[Wyrn]] as a title upon his ascension to the position. Wyrn acts both as Jaddeth's prophet and regent during his entrapment in the earth.
