{{culture \|related=[[Idris]] \|type={{cat tag\|Religion}} \|world=Nalthis \|universe=[[Cosmere]] '''Austrism''' is a monotheistic religion centered around a god named '''Austre''', practiced by the [[Idris\|Idrian]] people on [[Nalthis]]. Austre is often called "God of Colors".{{book ref\|wb\|1}} Austre is not [[Endowment]],{{wob ref\|6590}}, and his true identity (if any) is unknown. Before the [[Manywar]] and the exile of the royal family, he was also worshipped in [[Hallandren]].{{book ref\|wb\|15}} == Teachings == Austrism, as practiced by [[Idrian]]s, considers Breaths to be intimately linked to human souls. For that reason followers of Austre consider holding the [[Breath]]s of others to be a sin, and using them to [[Awakening\|Awaken]] to be an even greater sin.{{book ref\|wb\|13}} However, [[Vasher]] states that such intolerance toward Awakening only emerged after the [[Manywar]].{{book ref\|wb\|40}} Terminating pregnancies is seen as a sin.{{book ref\|wb\|34}} == Austre == The [[Idris\|Idrians]] believe that Austre watches over them and protects them.{{book ref\|wb\|2}}{{book ref\|wb\|4}} They call themselves sons and daughters of Austre.{{book ref\|wb\|9}} == Members of Austrism == {{columns\| * [[Vivenna]] * [[Dedelin]] * [[Siri]] * [[Fafen]] * [[Ridger]] * [[Parlin]] * [[Yarda]] * [[Lemex]] * [[Rira (character)\|Rira]] * [[Thame]] }} === Curses === ==Monks== Monks of Austrism (also called Idrian monks) are supposed to be the most pious and least ostentatious of Idrians.{{book ref\|wb\|44}} They are required to shear off their hair and wear white robes.~~{{book ref\|wb\|2}}~~ It is seen as a duty in Idris to provide at least one child for the monasteries (especially among noble or rich families), as it is against the Five Visions to be selfish, even with one's own blood.{{book ref\|wb\|2}} Idrian monks do not get locked in a monastery--they can leave at any time{{book ref\|wb\|44}}--and they provide services for the needy in Idris. The monks act as servants to the kingdom's poor in a very formalized way.~~{{wob ref\|6032}}~~ For example, if a man breaks his leg and can't work, a monk will take his place at his job; the wages earned will still go to the injured man's family. Occasionally, if a father dies, a monk is permanently assigned to his place at work and provides for that man's family.{{wob ref\|6032}} Monks are forbidden to own or possess anything themselves and to give everything they have to the people.{{wob ref\|6032}} Without the pressure to feed themselves or acquire goods, some monks can be a little lazy. However, many are very diligent, such as [[Fafen]].{{book ref\|wb\|2}} == Quotes == \|[[Vivenna]] travelling in [[T'Telir]] {{book ref\|wb\|9}} }} == Trivia == Austre may be a very old Returned.{{wob ref\|6590}} == Notes == {{Warbreaker}} [[category: religion]] [[es:Austrismo]]
