Avalsyanist Revolution

essentially the reformation of irl christianity.

officially began 28 Tolven 917 when Lennox Daien first published and distributed his Statements of Reform, requesting that the Sentric Church reject the authority of the Lanlanian Emperor, as well as reassert the teaching of Noel rather than the tradition of the Sentric Church and the decrees coming from the Aldes in Nellaheim. While Daien was not the first to challenge the authority of the Sentric Church, he is considered the first to do so with any large measure of success, and is considered the first Avalsyanist reformer and thus the father of the Avalsyanist faith, though he himself would reject such a title.

There were others before Daien, but they were all unsuccessful or isolated. Daien began a wave of reformers. Among them were Edvin Gruppe, a Dyrheimer who founded the Gruppist Reformed Church. Gruppists are similar to irl calvinists, more or less. Gruppism was officially founded in 956.

Key reasons for reformation include the gross power and authority of the Holy Lanlanian Emperor in religious matters. Avalsyanist reformers also sought to remove the Aldes as the leader of the church. In essence, the key part of the revolution was the removal of human church leaders, replacing them with Noel and ultimately Rune.
