The '''Yunyalīlta''' ([ˌjunjaˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆ta], [[Chlouvānem]] for "nature's path"), also referred to, amongst others, as ''lañšilīlta'' (braid path) or ''camilīlta'' (the great path), is the Chlouvānem people's traditional religion, the state religion in the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition]], majority religion in a number of countries of Márusúturon, including notably Qualdomailor, Brono, Fathan, and Gorjan, and also a minority in communities scattered across the planet, notably in most of Márusúturon, parts of Evandor (with a particularly strong presence in southwestern Holenagika), eastern Védren, Queáten, and parts of Ovítioná. | The '''Yunyalīlta''' ([ˌjunjaˈɴ̆ʲiːɴ̆ta], [[Chlouvānem]] for "nature's path"), also referred to, amongst others, as ''lañšilīlta'' (braid path) or ''camilīlta'' (the great path), is the Chlouvānem people's traditional religion, the state religion in the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition]], majority religion in a number of countries of Márusúturon, including notably Qualdomailor, Brono, Fathan, and Gorjan, and also a minority in communities scattered across the planet, notably in most of Márusúturon, parts of Evandor (with a particularly strong presence in southwestern Holenagika), eastern Védren, Queáten, and parts of Ovítioná. | ||

There are, however, countless other titles for her in later literature, including ''arāmīkā'' "the peaceful one", ''lallā'' "the higher one", ''cameyā'' "the great one", ''nilyameinā'' "mother of thought", or ''lelīmabrausa'' "the sacred one of the swamplands".</ref> who, after, according to chronicles (many details are, however, inconsistent), a difficult childhood and youth, conceived her life philosophy which she taught to peoples in the various multicultural villages of the Plains of that era - her teachings were the key factor in the birth of the Chlouvānem people as a new, métis ethnicity, from the many different peoples of the late 3rd millennium Eastern Plains.<br/> | ||
About a hundred years after the physical death of the Chlamiṣvatrā, Yunyalīlti preachers called ''murkadhānai'' (sg. ''murkadhāna'') founded a congregation called ''murkadhānāvi'' - known in translation as the Chlouvānem (or Yunyalīlti) Inquisition, still existing today as the institution that controls the teaching of the Yunyalīlti doctrine all around [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]] and acts as the ruling body of the theocratic country known, metonymically, as the [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Chlouvānem Inquisition]], the largest country on the planet.

Throughout this whole article, unless differently specified, Yunyalīlti concepts will be presented according to the Chlouvānem tradition. Even if the doctrine is controlled by the Inquisition, rites in the various Yunyalīlti areas vary, as do cultural implications which arose through syncretism with pre-Yunyalīlti religious forms and practices; this applies even to the core Chlouvānem area. Concepts typical of a certain, non-Chlouvānem Yunyalīlti tradition, will be presented, if necessary, with their native terms. Terms are cited in Chlouvānem and, if a faithful translation is possible, in English; terms for Yunyalīlti concepts in languages different from Chlouvānem are usually phonologically adapted loans - cf. ''Lillamurḍhyā'' being ''Lilamuṛdjá'' in [[Qualdomelic]], ''Ligamotriyá'' in [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], and '' | Throughout this whole article, unless differently specified, Yunyalīlti concepts will be presented according to the Chlouvānem tradition.

* Skyrdegan Yunyalīlta ([[Skyrdagor|Sky.]]: ''Junjasz fezseskjely e-Skyrdeganok'' <small>[ˈjunjəs ˈfɛʒəɧjɛl(ɨ) e ɧɯ˞de(ː)ˈnok]</small>): it is the current followed in the countries of Greater Skyrdagor (except most of those in Gorjan, who follow a Bronic rite, and in Ylvostydh, who follow a Qualdomelic rite), with important influences from Jeranism, the traditional Skyrdegan religion, with which it is often syncretic. | * Skyrdegan Yunyalīlta ([[Skyrdagor|Sky.]]: ''Junjasz fezseskjely e-Skyrdeganok'' <small>[ˈjunjəs ˈfɛʒəɧjɛl(ɨ) e ɧɯ˞de(ː)ˈnok]</small>): it is the current followed in the countries of Greater Skyrdagor (except most of those in Gorjan, who follow a Bronic rite, and in Ylvostydh, who follow a Qualdomelic rite), with important influences from Jeranism, the traditional Skyrdegan religion, with which it is often syncretic. | ||
* Holenagic Yunyalīlta ([[Holenagic|Hol.]]: ''qorhdof | * Holenagic Yunyalīlta ([[Holenagic|Hol.]]: ''qorhdof ê Nïunïa ê Ngâhlenaid''): it is the current of a small but influent minority in the southwestern part of Holenagika, which saw for some time in the second half of the 6th millennium and in the early part of the 7th one some Chlouvānem commercial outposts which became also culturally influent in most of the populated parts of the island. It coexists with Aselism, the typical religion of Western Calémerian countries, which has a particular, Yunyalīlti-influenced rite on the island. The community has seen some stigmatization and persecution in the last century, however, as the nationalist dictator Uiskehg Ohdsqoaihd <small>([ˈuʃkeː ˈojsqɔj])</small>, who carried out the three Northern Wars in Evandor and later allied with the Nāɂahilūma-led Chlouvānem during the deadly East-West Global War against other Evandorian countries, was a member of this community and built his ideology of Holenagic racial supremacy<ref>More properly, it was disguised as racial supremacy in order to gain the favour of all Holenagikans, not only Yunyalīlti ones, in waging war against other Evandorian countries; as with Chlouvānem suprematist views, there was otherwise no racial element, as it was the Yunyalīlti faith which was taken as defining factor of superior peoples. It should also be noted that Ohdsqoaihd declaring Holenagic racial suprematism would have gone against the views of the Inquisition, and that Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāɂahilūma ''Martayinām'' herself did not hold Ohdsqoaihd in particularly high esteem as, as in traditional Chlouvānem society, only women were competent enough to be leaders (notably, it was Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma who had cancelled all steps towards equality of men and women that had been done in the Chlouvānem Inquisition during the previous forty years).</ref> basing it on extremist interpretations of Yunyalīlti themes. | ||
In most countries of the former Kaiṣamā situated in Wírdaryȁngdé (the area between the Síluren mountains (eastern limit of Evandor) and the Skyrdagor Sea; ''Vīṭadælteh'' in Chl.), the Yunyalīlta was spread starting from their occupation in the Nāɂahilūmi era, just before the East-West Global War, and remained and intensified after the war when these countries were integrated in the Union - remaining nominally independent but de facto part of an unified, Chlouvānem-led country. The spread of the Yunyalīlta in all of these countries was mostly political, so that today these countries can't be said to be religiously Yunyalīlti - their native religions, mostly shamanist, still prevail - but (except for Taruebus, which is the least Chlouvānemized and least Yunyalīlti) many of their mainstream political beliefs are heavily Yunyalīlti-influenced, with at least one of the leading parties in each country representing Yunyalīlti Communism and five countries (Soenyŏ-tave, Kŭyŭgwažtov, Ebed-dowa, Enegen-toven, and Nerekton) being still single-party, with only the local Yunyalīlti Communist Party (inherited from Kaiṣamā times) being allowed to exist. | In most countries of the former Kaiṣamā situated in Wírdaryȁngdé (the area between the Síluren mountains (eastern limit of Evandor) and the Skyrdagor Sea; ''Vīṭadælteh'' in Chl.), the Yunyalīlta was spread starting from their occupation in the Nāɂahilūmi era, just before the East-West Global War, and remained and intensified after the war when these countries were integrated in the Union - remaining nominally independent but de facto part of an unified, Chlouvānem-led country.
