Ambrasian Reformation

The Ambrasian Reformation transpired in the first half of the twelfth century (ca 1110 AI to 1140 AI) in Amyrn and the surrounding Durrhaunve. The chief proponent, Emsiadheal dhailg Dealdha Struiagha (born 1087, died 1146) brought together several students of ancient sun worship in the Durrhaunve who were effectively the last of the Pre-Reformer Heliotic School of Amyrn. With the aid of the local princes, the reformers escape the worst of the possible persecution of the Arathracian Church and avoided defeat at the hands of the rulers of Bryndyd.

Ambrasianism

Main article: Ambrasianism

The rise of Ambrasianism began with the Ambrasian Reformation in the twelfth century. Conservatives and liberals in the clergy of Ambrasia adopted major doctrinal reforms which resulted effectively in a new religion. Emsiadheal dhailg Dealdha Struiagha, 1087 to 1146, was chiefest among the reformers and authored several important documents critical to Ambrasianism. Ambrasianism focuses on the cult and worship of the sun-god Amrulon and places few important roles on his first-born, Arathrax. Additionally, the last scion of the Deavingeal Dynasty renounced his claim to the crown and converted to Ambrasianism. In some ways, Ambrasianism is a reversion to the traditional cult of pre-Yophenthean Amyrn. The liturgy of the Ambrasian Religion was formerly conducted in the now extinct Ambrasian Language, a daughter language of Classical Yophenthean. Many Ambrasian religious terms survive today in the Gonfalese Language.

In Ambrasianism, the purpose of ceremonial worship is very important and the use of traditional sites for solar observances.
