Avi Silonicus Darkcypress is a noted Kiravian theistorian.
Life and Work
Born in the Verdasa Colony, little is known of Darkcypress's early life. He studied Theistory at Seventh Night University in Kiva, and then went on to continue his work at Yardford College in Kirverda.
While working at Yardford, Darkcypress completed two major works: Hiſtoriv Tëngria and Hiſtoriv áu Suedix Kircuv, and various smaller essays, minor dissertations, and encyclopædia articles. He joined the Imperial Academy, Kiravia's intelllectual society, and holds a seat on the Diet of Spiritual Studies, and is Sub-Rector of Socio-Religious Studies.
En Terranrisu Controversy
Five years after Terranism became a globally recognised religion, a theistorical book entitled En Terranrisu (On Terranism) was found in a Pictish library, and later on the desk of the Empire's Secriatist of Spirituality. The book gave no mention of its author, and to this day, the true theistorian behind it remains unknown. However, the extremely exhaustive and detailed descriptions of Terranism were thought to be unknowable to any Kiravian at such an early stage in the faith's expansion. Darkcypress was known for his uncanny ability to recover obscure facts on distant movements like the Church of Sweden.
This, and the fact that many parts of the book correspond to Darkcypress's writing style, leads many to attirbute En Terranrisu to him, though he has not made a public statement regarding this.
Beliefs
Darkcypress identifies as a "freelance monotheist", but also stated that he "believes that there is some truth in all legitimate religions".
