Tsulian presence in Tredonopolis dates back to the very founding of the city. Following the triumph of our first King of Ice and the defeat of the Solar Queen, Tsulian beliefs advanced from mere worship of the Queen. They believed she would return, and had to prepare the land for her rule. From their mother city, the Tsulians quickly got the idea to spread their most horrendous abominations beyond the Golden Walls. Communities of believers were initially sprat and small, but they grew with the City. Now in modernity, the Tsulians are the majority of the population in District 3, the Eastern side of Tredonopolis.

Many Tsulian practices date back to the 300-year reign of her who must not be named. The most commonly seen of these is the practice of keeping a Solar candle. Those of the priesthood and particularly devout Tsulians will often go about their day-to-day business carrying the candle. Almost all protect the lit candle from the elements in specialized lanterns, with varying degrees of ornate artwork. These lanterns act as mobile shrines for the Tsulians and are used in the practice of prayer. Tsulians often pray for their Queen to return, and will do it in nearly all environments. All they must do is set the lantern on a table which will be at eye level when they kneel. They open the lantern door, say their prayer, and move on with their day. The Tsulians must keep their candles lit, especially during evil hours. On certain holy days and other rotating festivals, the hours will change to a different, equally arbitrary schedule. To have a sacred Solar candle blow out during an evil hour is an abomination to the Tsulians, and they are expelled from the congregation for a week. Below is a list of evil hours on most days, quoted verbatim from the Tsulian priests.

Any hour which the Sun has set: evil.
9 AM: The hour the Icy King arose; evil.
10 AM: The hour when the King erected a great rival to the Queen's most beloved city; evil.
12 PM: The hour the King deprived the Queen of a most delectable meal; evil.
2 PM: The hour at which the barbarians ceased paying tribute; evil.
5 PM: The hour when the Golden Walls were scaled by the King; evil.
7 PM: The hour when the innocent Queen was brutally murdered by the King, evil.

As one may have noticed, the evil hours are almost entirely political and aimed against the founder of Tredonopolis. The Tredones have noticed this, and therefore the Tsulians are hated. For the candles, a question arises to the Tsulian: How does one know when a candle has burned out, and if it went out during an evil hour? They have determined that when you notice the candle went out, it is when it went out. This policy has created an unusual quirk within the religion where Tsulians refuse to look anywhere near the candle during an evil hour. Their evil superstitions know no bounds.

May the Light destroy this evil and barbaric religion and cleanse it from our land.
