Pietist Soterianity is a branch of Soterianity that follows the theological tenets of the Pietist Reformation. Originating as a sect in Vesta, its schism from the then-dominant Canonical Church was caused by disputes over theology and what Pietists perceived as widespread corruption and excessive enrichment of itself by the Church. After an early period where it spread within Vesta and gradually came to occupy an established position, it was then introduced to Thule, where it rapidly gained converts and ultimately achieved an uneasy plurality with other sects of Soterianity. Pietism was also later spread throughout Thule's colonies, especially those it founded in Esmaria, where it would ultimately become the dominant religion in many of the Emerald Alliance's constituent states.
