He was a student of [[Keshu]], who began the religion Shu-Keseg. Keshu preached unity, and his two disciples, Korath and [[Dereth]], interpreted this in different ways. Dereth took it to mean unity of governance, while Korath understood it as unity of love. The two split to create two different religions, [[Shu-Dereth]] and Shu-Korath.
 
Korath adopted the [[Elantrian]] symbol [[Aon]] Omi to represent both his church and its God.{{qawob ref|768|9|Aon Descriptions: Omi|date=7591}} This was a surprising choice, as many new followers of Shu-Korath considered Aons and the Elantrian religion to be heathen. However, by adopting the symbol, Korath hoped to prove that his church should love everybody. The center of Shu-Korath was eventually moved to Teod, after Korath's death.
 
He had a pendant with the symbol forged, which eventually evolved into the current practice of exchanging Omi pendants at Korathi weddings, as well as the habit of many followers of Shu-Korath wearing the pendants. The pendants eveventually became known as Korathi pendants.
