Tu’soffik’ia (concept)
Tu’soffik’ia is one of the tusuffnas native to Ayyar, and its mystics were originally responsible for the conversion of significant parts of the region. They have adopted the Ritualist imagery of the Sophocos and utilize the schema of 'the Inner Sophocos' to guide their religious practices. They assert that a zealous person can gain great merit by faithfully ascending each of the 1001 Steps, each corresponding to specific tenets of Warden's Laws in their theology. However, it is possible to benefit from the lifts of Sophocos by engaging in their meditative practices. This way, individuals can uphold the basic Pillars of Virtue and reach the top without fully embracing Wardenism. The use of their imagery has enabled them to gather a following among parts of the local Ritualist population, leading to numerous conversions over time. The part they took in the conversion of Ayyar to Wardenism has solidified their position, and their various amirs have amassed considerable wealth and influence.
