Some questions on the aftermath:
How long did it take until Skourene was replaced by Tzhuro? Not counting the Echendi territories, are there still Skourene language islands? What about the Skourene religion? And how did that develop outside of the Tzhuro territory? I assume that having to contend with a monotheistic book religion changed the Old Skourene religion both during the co-existence in the early years after the invasion and in the Echendi territories.
(As I'm currently living in Lebanon, it's natural for me to compare the Skouras situation to the Islamisation and Arabisation of the fertile crescent; and even today, there are still a few Aramaic speaking villages in Syria and Israel, and there is a sizeable Christian minority in the region).
Best regards,

A related question:
Did the Old Skourene religion have notable effects on the development of Jippirasti in Skouras? For example, did some of the Skourene theology or practices become imported into local Jippirasti, ? la European pagan elements imported into modern Christianity as saints, holidays, devils, and the like?

I'm not sure if this is still contemporary or whether it's been superseded by other material. But it might suggest that after the conquest, the Skourene religions took a similar path.on the old Virtual Verduria message board, Zomp wrote: the northern Skourenes, nearest the Tzhuro, generalized their gods into an abstract quaternity: Mind, Will, Power, and Love.

Hans-Werner's and Primordial Soup's questions are both great, but I don't have good answers worked out. Jippirasti is one of those things that need some major attention and just haven't got it yet.
I like the language islands idea. I'm sure Skourene languages would have persisted for a long time-- perhaps even over the 1800 years to the present day, in some form.
