Romulan beliefs

I've been a bit curious about Romulan religion and beliefs and was wondering do any novels explore this more?

I have read about the mentions of Erebus being the afterlife for the Romulans in some of the recent novels and Vulcan's Souls suggests it from ancient Vulcan beliefs that it came from. Also read the Romulan Way novels and saw mention of the Elements. Also, I heard a reference to something called the Imperial Cult and the Archpriest but don't know what this details. I think it was in Killing Time, the one about Second History, there was a comment about some Romulan demon. Beyond those, I don't think I heard anymore.

So, my question, are there any more references to Romulan beliefs? Are there are religious organizations and orders?

Pick up The Romulan Way by Diane Duane and Peter Morwood. Goes very much into the belief structure and world view of Romulan (or Rihannsu) society.

Yep got it, everything from the Romulan Way to the Empty Chair, was a very interesting series and quite enjoyed it. Kind of was the reason why I wanted to ask if there were anymore such novels which go into that much detail :)
 
^Did you by any chance happen to pick up the first book, My Enemy, My Ally? It has some good material in it, too.

Also, the Vulcan's Soul trilogy has some good Romulan backstory. It fleshes out the Exile, bringing the details to full light--including the beginning of the Remans.

Yes got those ones as well, Vulcan's Soul really helped flesh out the origin of Erebus to me :D
 
There are some Romulan cultural references and that kind of stuff in the Enterprise relaunch books, but nothing very in depth.
 
Spock'sWorld gives a little bit of Vulcan/Romulan thinking before and during the split of the societies.
