The Canon of Orthodoxy is the central body of religious lore for the [[Alexandrian Church]]. It is made up of a number of individual [[Testimonials]] written by her earliest followers and closest friends. While many [[Testimonials]] have existed through the ages, those accepted as orthodox the [[testimonials]] of [[Testimonial of Mythrian|Mythrian]], [[Testimonial of Marrwyn|Marrwyn]], [[Testimonial of Steros|Steros]], [[Testimonial of Kivan|Kivan]], and [[Testimonial of Dadtim the Younger|Dadtim the Younger]]. Although the original testimonials were written in a variety of languages, the Canon-proper is made up of translations into the Ubrekti language. Even when the Canonical Liturgies are translated into other languages, these translations are based off of the Ubrekti Canon. | The Canon of Orthodoxy is the central body of religious lore for the [[Alexandrian Church]].
