*[[Alexandrian Orthodoxy]] : Most of her followers went on to develop a highly centralized and hierarchical supra-national church under the direction of [[Steros Merroand]] and [[Mythrian Arabelle]], and this has since to become the largest faith in the mainland. Since the [[Scism War]], Orthodoxy has actually split into two radically different sects. | *[[Alexandrian Orthodoxy]] : Most of her followers went on to develop a highly centralized and hierarchical supra-national church under the direction of [[Steros Merroand]] and [[Mythrian Arabelle]], and this has since to become the largest faith in the mainland.

**[[Eastern Alexandrianism]] : A sect of the Alexandrian faith formed after the [[Scism War]].

**[[Western Alexandrianism]] : A sect of the Alexandrian faith formed after the [[Scism Wars]]. This faction of the faith is almost entirely human in makeup and derives its legitimacy from local authority. This sect of the faith has no central authority -- instead, various areas are under the auspices of regional [[Hadriarchs]] with little to no coordination or cooperation. It is most strongly adhered to in [[Odessa]], [[Wydmoor]], and [[Ubrekt]]. Additionally, it is the dominant faith in to some degree in all of the Human kingdoms other than [[Fresia]]. | **[[Western Alexandrianism]] : A sect of the Alexandrian faith formed after the [[Scism Wars]].

*[[Zupanism]] : Spread by Sayid's adopted son and designated heir, [[Mikos Lygit]], after he was forced into exile among the [[Ulan]]. The most decentralized of all the Alexandrian faiths, many sages suggest that Zupanism should be understood best as an umbrella term for a family of rituals, traditions, and beliefs. | *[[Zupanism]] : Spread by Sayid's adopted son and designated heir, [[Mikos Lygit]], after he was forced into exile among the [[Ulan]].
