(→Peoples: Some formatting, corrected some citations, also changed "but are ethnically Makabaki" to "and are ethnically Makabaki", the book says and, and doesn't seem to try and say it is something that warrants a "but".) |

=== Religion ===
Rejecting the [[Honor|Almighty]], the Emuli believe [[Jezrien]] to be the only god.{{book ref|sa1|55}} According to their mythology, Jezrien named both their kingdom and their capital, Sesemalex Dar. They refer to him as the Prime Kadasix, praying to him for his favor.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}
They seem to hold the other Heralds sacred as well, such as Epan the Lady of Dreams, referring to them as Kadasixes. In fact, wealthy people keep a place in their homes called the Hallowed Hall, where they keep images of the Kadasixes for reverence.
The city of Sesemalex Dar is also important in their religion; it is considered to be the Emuli's ancestral homeland, a gift to them from the Heralds.{{book ref|sa1|54}} The pattern of the city is also sacred to them and central to their religion, which is one of the reasons they are so desperate to retain control it. The Emuli religion can be described as splinter religion of Vorinism, although which branch is the original is subject to some debate.{{book ref|sa1|55}}
However, the Vorin peoples to the east believe the Emuli to be pagans, despite the similarities between their faiths.{{book ref|sa1|54}}
