Cult of the Sacred Detonation

The Cult of the Sacred Detonation (formerly Boomism) is a branch of Cedrism which focuses, to the point of monomania, on explosions and their natural beauty. Originated in the Audentior Independent Nation under the auspices of Lukedu and was subsequently absorbed into the mythos of the Imperial Republic. One consequence of this is that one of the more prominent religious festivals is known, prosaically, as La Fiesta de la Boom.

Antiquarians have previously claimed that Cedrism was an offshoot religion of Boomism. In 1643, Kaiser Dominus informed all concerned that they are quite in error regarding this assumption and that, most importantly, they are never to repeat it, on pain of his marked disapproval towards them.

During the 1703 Council of Negrixnaht, it was agreed that four cities devastated by the Scouring would be given over to the jurisdiction of the cult's scattered ecclesiarchy in return for their commitment upholding certain customs endemic to their new lands. These sites have since begun to see a coalescence of Boomist pilgrims and opportunistic cult priests into what has been collectively dubbed the See of the Radiant Revelation under the guidance of the titular body which has come to be recognized as the de facto governing authority in the ruined lands assigned to them.
