Ryou Gu Tykou/Beliefs & Gods
Our Beliefs
Within the Ryou Gu Tykou there are three gods, Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou. These are the watchers of the Ryou Gu Tykou. They stand for their own morals in life. However, there is one moral they agree on. That is that one must accept each other for who they are. If they are to be fought. They are fought with respect. They are not treated like dirt (unless they are heretics or commoners). They will not be hated because of they're differences. They will be fought only if the issue is not about racialism. The divine dragon is the symbol of the Ryou Gu Tykou. It stands for "acceptance". The one rule of the Ryou Gu Tykou. The Divine Dragon is not directly worshipped. When worshiped it is merely a representation which stands for the Ryou Gu Tykou. It is not a god or power of it's own.
The Gods
As you know the three gods are, Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou. These gods used to fight and quarrel about who's morals were better. When all their fighting was finally finished. They came to a whole hearty agreement. They agreed that out of all their morals. They believe the most important is "Acceptance". That is why they formed the Ryou Gu Tykou so everyone only had to worship one rule and then be free to ponder on to do whatever he feels. Nowadays the gods still take pride in their morals but they because of their new most important moral. They are very respectful for each and make a formidable council.
The Rule
Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou came together for the purpose of showing others what good it brings to come together and admire and enjoy our differences instead of bring hate to them. The Ryou Gu Tykou has one rule. That is "Acceptance".
Acceptance can be defined in any ways and can be applied to many situations. This explanation aims to show what the Ryou Gu Tykou mean excactly by acceptance. The Ryou Gu Tykou do not wish to let this rule apply to every single daily situation. Such as your scribe forgetting to send a message you spend ages creating. The Ryou Gu Tykou's definition aims more at.
"Accepting Differences"
A war or any quarell based on someone who is physically different from them is disgusting. A war or quarell based on a claim for a region is completely legal on religious terms. A situation like thatw ould be completely ignored by the gods. The Ryou Gu Tykou want people to be at peace with different types of cultures and such but also take pride in their own. One is completely free to do whatever he feels except scrutinize someone else's culture or looks.
For people that are willing to defy this rule and tell the Ryou Gu Tykou that they are wrong in their practices. A Religious Army is Reserved.
