[edit] AN INTRODUCTION

"...Certainly, Aenrune's beliefs are not typical of Tunarian philosophers of any time perioud. Most Tunarians agree with Ishtarians that Nothing is something we can and should work together to avoid. Aenrune himself, on the other hand, has a rather fatalistic and pessimistic view of Nothing. Perhaps this is a result of the influence of the recent fall of Britiana.

"Of course, we cannot dismiss the value of Aenrune's writings purely based on the fact that we may not like the possibilities his thoughts suggest. Returning briefly to a previous discussion, remember that Kangae himself was poisoned by a colleague -- murdered for advocating what were, in his time, unconventional beliefs. We often forget this today when reading his works, forgetting that the reason why Kangae's beliefs appear unoriginal at first glance is because he set a standard for theological thought and analysis for years to come.

"Of course, just because Kangae's views are widely accepted does not mean that Aenrune's might one day become such. Rather, the importance of Aenrune's musings lie not in their wide following, but rather in the influence of their small following. While Aenrune has since passed on today, his original followers continue to exert a noticeable influence on Kalshanan politics today, despite their small numbers..."

[edit] COMMON PRAYERS

Prayer of Ashura:

Oh Holy Ashura, holder of heaven, hear my prayer. Give us today what we need and love! Our breath, our food, our friendships! Rule on Gaera as you do in the heavens! With sovereignty and mercy! Redeem us for our wrongdoing, as we ask redemption for wrongdoers! For yours is all our world, and those who dwell in it! So let it be!

-- KingOfDoma
