Rastaban's Religion

Many think that Rastaban's religion is solely based on or around dragons. That's not true. Rastaban's religion has been described as having an Eastern touch to it.

 

Rastabites worship four main, or cardinal gods:

Sui, the dragon wind god of the north.

Ho'huang, the phoenix fire goddess of the east.

Toboga, the serpent water goddess of the south.

And Ois'in, the stag earth god of the west.

 

Under each cardinal god are two secondary gods-

Sui: Akshi, goddess of war and death; Tarv'aa, god of knowledge

Ho'huang: Kinahau, goddess of the sun and magic; Lugus, god of artisans

Toboga: Mwet-si, goddess of the moon; C'hel, the god of marriage and the home

Ois'in: Uir, goddess of justice; Ishja, god of love

 

And under these gods are many, many demi-gods. Sui is the leader of all the gods.

 

Along side of the gods are angels, but held in a completely different respect. There isn't much information about them. But they aren't worshiped and no one prays to them. All that is known is that the angels rule in the heavens while the gods rule on Earth. Angels concern themselves with the spirit, while the gods look over their mortal lives.

 

Creation Myth

The creation myth believed by Rastabites is this. The demi-gods were reproducing at rapid speeds and becoming an annoyance to the higher gods. The cardinal gods decided they needed to create a being that would even things out, yet be intelligent. With earth provided by Ois'in and water provided by Toboga they formed two figures; male and female. Ho'huang the fired them so they would not fall apart. Sui then breathed life into them.

 

The cardinal gods taught them what they knew, and then ordered the secondary gods to the same. Satisfied that the humans knew enough they let them live by themselves among the numerous demi-gods. Soon though the humans had reproduced numbered almost as much near the demi-gods.

 

This then leads into other myths where the demi-gods discovered that they could couple with humans.

 

Rastabites and Dragons

It is said that before the six Houses were founded that two tribes of people were wandering the earth, looking for a place to call home. They came upon a land where dragons were abundant. These were actually children of Sui descended through his coupling with and a demi-god.

 

These two peoples were already gifted in magical things. The dragons knew much on this subject for Kinahau herself had taught them. They offered to teach them. The leaders of the two people then became know as Azhdeha and Rastaban. Then came three more peoples. Rastaban taught them and their leaders became known as Tiamat, Hashteher, and Anguis. Anguis and his people wanted to know more and asked Azhdeha to teach them. Then lastly came one more people whom became known as Draco and were taught by Azhdeha.

 

This started a long line of tradition of being taught by dragons. Today it is mainly limited to those prominent in the six Houses. Dragons themselves have lost touch with their heritage becoming common animals. Still there are those that haven't.

 

The Queen and Her Sacred Creatures

The Queen of Rastaban is identified with both the dragon and the phoenix. The dragon represents the masculine decisions and situations she must deal with while the phoenix represents the feminine side, love and compassion for her country.

 

Other Religions

Rastaban welcomes all religions so long as they are peaceful and do not practice the harm of others or hate.
