Divided by war, persecution and time, the ancient shamanistic religions of old have been long forgotten by the modern era in Gold Ring. A religion now as plentiful as Western Sergals, here we see Tori Toto in meditative prayer. It is the belief of the inhabitants of Jechi (the village to which Tori hails) that spirits exist. Long has it been acceped that the dead wandered the northern woods outside the town's borders, stalking amongst the trees with the Talyxians and the flora, dancing among the mists of the Miasma. Folk leave charms and trinkets of their lost loved ones, and in reward, are blessed in seeing their souls once more.

In this image, Tori is in the depths of meditative prayer before he intends to release a minute amount of Miasma into his room, to permit him to see the spirits of his old friends and family, dearly departed, in a desire to relive old memories.

Aside from this practicion, Tori and the followers of his dead faith consider the Judda to be part of their culture from Nevrea. Anyone who ever exhibited the traits of one was treated, in a sense, like a prince or emperor. Their word was respected, and to Tori and others of his practiced belief, believe that the Judda in Gold Ring is the only means for them to one day seek equal rights and favourable living conditions in the desert city.

They call this religion "Kazoku".

I'll try expanding and working more on it as time goes on, to give my Westerners some religiosity.
