Shu-Korath began in the form of Shu-Keseg, a religion taught by a [[JinDo]] man named [[Keseg]].{{wob ref|1970}}{{book ref|elantris|14}} Keseg preached unity of all mankind. His two disciples, [[Korath]] and [[Dereth]], collected his teachings in a book called the [[Do-Kando]].{{glossary ref|elantris|D}} After Keseg died, Korath and Dereth disagreed about how to achieve this unity. Korath thought that mankind should be united through love, Dereth believed mankind should be dominated and forced into unity, under one government. This disagreement caused a schism in Shu-Keseg, splitting it into two sects, Shu-Korath and Shu-Dereth.{{wob ref|1970}}▼

Korath went to the nation of Arelon which was under the control of the [[Elantrian]]s. Most of the people in Arelon worshiped the Elantrians, but they allowed him to preach there. The two religions were on good terms with each other, the Elantrians even had a Korathi temple built in [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] as a sign of goodwill. Korath began to absorb elements of Elantrian culture as well.{{wob ref|2055}} The name of the god the Korathi worshiped changed from the JinDo Dashu, to Domi which is based of the Aon Omi meaning love.{{wob ref|7591}} Korath also used the same Aon to represent his church, shocking those dissenters who considered it to be a pagan symbol. It was an attempt to show that all people were welcome in his religion, and deserved to be a part of the blanket of love that Korath hoped would eventually cover the world.
