It occurred to me that, with the return of the Radiants, the eventual public disclosure of why they were first disbanded and the true history behind the religions which revere them are inevitable.
So...my question is, what becomes of Vorinism after the close of book 5 when it's followers are confronted with the reality that their religion is based on a misunderstanding of where their ancestors come from? Will they...simply not care and keep practicing anyway? Massive portions of Eastern Roshar's economy, social networks, and administrative systems are grounded in lies. Are we thinking civil war, or just widespread depression? Will they all convert to following the passions and the nightwatcher instead of holding fast to their outdated beliefs?
Sorry if this is insensitively worded; I'm genuinely curious what people think on this subject though.
