**Zano-diasporic syncretism** ---- **Zano-diasporic syncretism** is a term of classification for religions that germinated from the fusion of [[Zanobia|Zanobian]] religions with that of other faiths within diasporic communities of either partial or full Zanobian origin. Such faiths chiefly developed in the continents of [[North Asteria|North]] and [[South Asteria]] and can be referred to as **Zano-Asterian religions** in that regard. This chiefly includes [[Embanda]], [[Sintry]], [[Candambly]], and [[Tambor das Emboabas]]. Zano-Asterian religions usually share various properties such as the veneration of ancestors and, more often than not, a pantheon of lesser gods or spirits beneath that of a supreme creator deity. Many of these faiths borrow and integrate from the function of [[Folk Soterianity]], albeit skewing further beyond the Enochian baseline of [[Soterianity]]. They can also integrate spiritual and shamanistic elements from native Asterian religions, or otherwise borrow from Eurysian folklore. {{tag>religion zano-diasporic-syncretism}}
