History of Nurity

Divergence Period

1min

The Divergence Period in the 700s marked a significant turning point in Nurity's history. Initially united under Saint Dast's leadership, the disciples shared a common goal of spreading the divine message. However, a fundamental disagreement arose over the method of dissemination, creating a rift within the community. Saint Dast advocated for oral transmission, citing the widespread illiteracy of the populace, while Saint Wruhec argued for the preservation of teachings through written documentation. This debate revealed underlying tensions about the interpretation of divine guidance and individual autonomy in spiritual matters. The division culminated when Wruhec, along with a group of disciples, decided to part ways with Dast. This group's departure is significant in Nurity's history, as it consisted of precisely half of the disciples, including Wruhec. They embarked on a journey to spread their interpretation of Nurity, which emphasized free thought and the written preservation of divine teachings. This decision led to the establishment of the Library of Saint Wruhec and the penning of religious commandments, a foundation of what would become Wruhecism. Despite Wruhec's initial assumptions, the limited literacy among the populace meant that his written teachings did not have the immediate widespread influence he had anticipated. However, his commitment to documenting the faith laid the groundwork for its future spread and preservation.
