Is MAG Sliverism Canonical?

[Trusk'our he/him]

I recently found and read the MAG Alloy of Law expansion, and a part of it confused me; Sliverism is described in the book as being like a secretive cult, but I had always imagined Sliverism to be more like a somewhat less popular and progressive version of Survivorism and the Path.

So my question is, how accurate is the MAG material on this matter? Can I trust this to be canonical?

MAG is not canon, no. Brandon said we can personally choose to see parts as canon as long as they don't contradict the book. But that it is not official canon.

As far as I know, the only canon information on Sliverism comes from Alloy of Law itself:

Ch 4:

“You imply,” Waxillium said, “that one purpose of this wedding dinner is not in who is invited, but who is not.”

“Precisely,” she said. “And, in order to fulfill that purpose, everybody else must be invited. The Yomens are powerful, even if they do believe in Sliverism. Horrid religion. Imagine, revering Ironeyes himself. 

Ch 11:

Quote

It’s called Compounding. By the legends, it’s the way the Sliver gained immortality.”

We know a bit about the Pathians and the Survivorists in Era 2, but almost nothing about the other major religion of the Basin, Sliverism. Can you share a bit about it and about Marsh's role in it.

I'd rather not right now. So we'll RAFO that.

Oh see that last one makes me think it may be making a major appearance in Era 3. Makes me wonder if it's going to end up tying in with Scadrian punk culture, should that show up like I think it will.

while playing MAG I always treated Silverism as if they were the Freemasonry of our world, where an older member brings a wave of new members to help each other and follow the will of the TLR, or as I prefer to put it in campaigns, its direct steward Marsh
