Influenced heavily by the Testimonial of Sayid, and pointing to the Prophecies of Alabar Tremaline, Petaran Alexandrianism (or, on the mainland, the Petaran Heresy) teaches, essentially, that Alexandria was a mortal savior sent by a higher power rather than a mortal who seized, and continues to wield, godly power herself. The Peteran variant of Alexandrianism is highly nationalistic/ethnocentric, and folk belief tells that Alexandria was as a child lost in a shipwreck on the shores of the mainland, where she lived in some form of misery until her late-life adoption. The theology surrounding such beliefs is generally that it was necessary for a Peteran to learn the ways of the usurper-demigods in order to finally slay them. (Unlike Alexandrian Orthodoxy, the Peteran Heresy sees little difference between the demi-pantheon and the Dark Lord) The most significant change brought on by Alexandria&#039;s influence, however, has been the introduction and legitimization of divine magic among the Peterans, and the wielders of divine magic have become significant powers in the intervening centuries. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>It is a highly mercantile nation that, for thousands of years, has supported a powerful middle class, a refined educational system, and a secular government, although that last has been reduced a great deal since the arrival of Petran Alexandrianism.
