	The ''Esoteric Order of Cxebru'' is a religion closely related to [[Dark Spirits]. Records date its foundation to a cult of rogue spirits in an unknown time period. The faith was presumed to have disbanded until revived by the [[South Sea Saltmines]] LTD (3S LTD) CEO [[Thumb Yolk]]. Whilst a great deal is known of the activities of the order, research into members' specific beliefs has many holes. The order's followers seem to be fanatic worshipers of an ancient grand spirit "Cxebru" (pronunciation unknown). Many differences can be noted in the new and old versions of the order. Thumb Yolke is widely seen as the current leader of the order, although technically the order is led by a council of high priests.

	The original movement has been largely considered harmless, however nations have expressed concerns about the new incarnation of the order. The current order has expanded into several territories, notably [[Fryslân]], [[Cassland]] and the [[Water Tribe]]. As of current the order claims two islands in the [[Eldhavet]], under the [[Divine Republic of Sirreth]].

	This rite has only occurred once, in which Thumb Yolke sacrificed a hundred of the order's most loyal members. The process supposedly allowed Yolke to communicate directly with Cxebru, but left him and all involved presumed dead for several months. The rite seemed to mutilate and distort the forms of members, who were tied to basalt poles. The poles are now considered immutable and permanent structures on the island, the largest of which has been incorporated into the foundation of the Sirreth parliament building (The Shrine of Eyes).

	As time progressed, a greater number of human Cxebruites began to burn crops on the island, forcing the high priests of the order to expand the republic of Sirreth, giving Ondeli Cxebruites (most if not all humans) a provincial island in the nation. There is a great deal of overlap between Sirrethi and Ondeli Cxebruites, to the onlooker there may seem to be no difference (other than species). However, each side believe themselves heretics and are locked in bitter conflict.

The book of hands appears to act as a more direct call to followers of Cxebru, explicitly stating actions to be taken in the context of the current world. Commentaries were briefly circulated but to a lesser extent than delusions, it is theorised the book contains more direct expansionist ideas and so the order refrained from provoking too much attention.

	==== Levre Ordinel ====		==== Levre Ordinel ====

			Briefly, the doctrines of the Pontiff Ordinel were circulated in a book known as "Levre Ordinel". No copies have been found outside of Sirreth as Ordinel's rule was plagued with sanctions and outreach issues due to the attention gained by 3S LTD.

			Ordinel set out several beliefs that were not present in the original doctrines, these include:

			* A stricter, hierarchical leadership system in which Bishops would be stationed to manage faithful in a specific region, this differed from the flat and unstructured group of high priests that now govern the order.
			* Removal of the "rites" from Yolke's doctrines, these were seen as cruel and tailored towards spirits who could change their bodies at any time.
			* Removal of the order from affairs in the spirit wilds and removal of spirit based powers (Ordinel was unable to posses or project dreams)
			* Easing of the ban on bending introduced in the previous leadership.

	Following the assassination of the Water Tribe's Chieftain Urist by pillagers it was noted that several of their advisers had copies of the order's work, some believe these advisers acted to aid in the continuation of the Frisian-Water Tribe conflict as well as somewhat strengthen the possession of the chieftain, this is however speculative. The order are believed to have had no role in the assassination of Urist as the order used the war to gain members in discontented regions of both nations. The order seems hostile towards the church of Hebenism, as with any other faith.

			==== Night of Divine Speech ====

			==== Pontiff's Doctrine ====

			Under Pontiff Ordinel the order became much more aligned with the human based faiths of the world, dropping many practices such as the rites as well as dropping beliefs in the sacred books of Cxebru (Ordinel claimed himself unable to read the books, being human. This was used to question the legitimacy of his role as Pontiff). During this time the order followed a piece of scripture known as "Levre Ordinel" ("Book of Divinity").

			The Pontiff also encouraged various types of bending, including blood bending, this was met with disdain from most Cxebruites as the practice of bending is seen as acting engaging with the anchors. Specially, Ordinel's encouragement of necromancy ("rebinding") was so unpopular that various Cxebruites fled what is now Sirreth to the spirit wilds in an effort to form an order closer to Yolke's vision, this offshoot began to call themselves "Sirethi".

			Ordinel's leadership became known for it's silence, as with the brief collapse of 3S LTD esoteria was unable to circulate effectively, Ordinel also lacked the abilities held by his predecessor to project and manipulate others.

			==== The Deceleration of Truth ====

			With the declining popularity of Ordinel and the reported death of hundreds of Yorkish Cxebruites at unknown hands (some believe the Sirethi are responsible for this), the Pontiff announced he was to give a speech to the order. It is unknown what occurred during the speech but it resulted in Ordinel being imprisoned and Thumb Yolke (previously thought dead) returning to the helm of the order.

			Thumb's return was met with little opposition, the Sirethi Cxebruites has been maneuvering on the island since Ordinel declared himself Pontiff, this even was known as the deceleration of truth.
