Novanism: religion created at around the same time as the arrival of the Kal-Durrell. The Novan holy book, called the Grechtchlen, was created by the divine downloads of twenty-three sections into twenty-three Iqui. The Grechtchlen was a guide as to how Novans should live their lives. It was the first text to instruct Novans in the pursuit of pleasure, stating the attainment of pleasure is a holy pursuit. Though it was not the only directive, it was embraced as the most important. As the original Directors instructed the Iqui on this new religion, so now Directors lead the dwindling faithful in services taking place in massive Arenas of Devotion called Yissarauts. Icons serve to focus on particular problems, leftovers from several dead religions from Iquitian times.
