Work In Progress

The Fury

In the beginning, the Thousand-face gods created everything. Each Human tribe has learned to belive and fear one different god or deity, some people trough, know that they are all faces of the true god. This few people learned the true path of illumination and created a mystic and secret cult of adoration and respect.

Some childs are selected since birth to train and learn the aspect of the true god, the training is hard and often the child don't resist or grow crazy, the few ones that survive becomes the Fury. The Fury is the ultimate soldier of the Thousand-face god, as the god has thousand faces is said that the Furys are his thousand arms. This children learns the two main aspects of the divinity, the Yin for passion, wild, wrath, luxury and the Yang for calmness, peace, self-improvement. Their mission is to wander around the world and live by the Thousand-god grace, always continuing the sacred circle of life that was determined in the beginning of the eras.

Different from the monks and other cultists, the Fury don't have to follow some strict list of rules after the training is over. As they began to wonder the world they can choose to live as they like, the Thousand-face gods lives in every gesture and action, it's not necessary to selfprivation of the wonder of life to worship them.
