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 the seven cities devastated by the Scouring would be given over to the cult's scattered ecclesiarchy in return for their commitment upholding certain customs endemic to their new lands.
