Lievvism (Sedunnic: Lievvst) is an ancient Duric nontheistic religion practised predominately in Sedunn. The religion is based on belief in a world that is divided into three Hov (realms): Jutel ("the below"), Kluse ("the ground") and Jivv ("the above"), and in between and beyond them, the Hamn ("the membrane"). The Hamn is a state of total knowledge and infinite life. It is believed that by adhering to five principles, one can come back to visit the living after death, to give advice and comfort living relatives. It is also believed that living humans eventually will learn how cross the realms and visit the membrane, thereby fusing the realms of the living with the membrane, creating a paradise.
The religion is highly decentralised and has no established authority or permanent places of worship. Followers practise the religion in gatherings at home or outdoors, preferably where there is both water and a cave or hill.
