I was thinking about the religious structure of this world and was thinking: Should we whip up a Visha religion so that we have a common basis to work with? I had considered mentioning generally accepted deities in posts, but I doubt they would stick if it were just something I did. It might help to unify the storyline

I gave Kassarock a pretty basic idea of what Visha faith was like, since I was going to discuss it as sort of the ideological opposite of what groups within Manya-Samyaa believe.

The general perception of their religion is a concept of the perfection of the self through exerting force against the outside world and conquering it. Whether through industry or in military concept. It's the spiritual right of an individual to seek some part of the world to conquer and to become its god, so to speak. Comparable to Jainism in the real world, they don't really have a god. Or if there were: they exist to conquer them and become Gods themselves.

There isn't a large emphasis on inward perfection since it's unimportant. What's important is outward perfection and strength and projecting that as best possible. The deaths or conditions of other races are unimportant, as all should be slave to them, the masters. It's driven pretty heartily by the idea of ego. Good karma is acquired through physical success; never mind being greedy, lustful, or lazy. Each flaw against one's spirit is useful in becoming a god or surmountable by some mean and there needs to be no - or little - push to correct it.

Of course in the end this philosophy could have changed. But as a whole they hold a theological concept of exerting force outwards until they reach godliness and mastery of all points, in this life, in their next life, and over the four realms of reincarnation.

By that measure their third eye may also fill a sort of physical aid to the spiritual mission by not only seeing the world through a third point, but being able to "see into others".

This would stand opposite of what religion in Manya-Samyaa - or anywhere else that adopts their faith - would discuss. The Visha faith is considered oppressive and evil for its selfless mindset. Instead of seeking outward conquest it stresses inward perfection to make a more divine being. Just in a variety of many different ways. Whether in meditation or seeking any one of many gods to follow as a disciple.
