PURITY AND PROGRESS WITHIN LUMINION
PURITAS AR AMANWA I LUMELION
A brief explanation into the thoughts of purity for the current and recently arriving 'Cill's
Penned by the Therri'cill Fynenar II Zaithrall
FOREWORD
Vale to the 'Cill who has read this. Greetings from Luminion, the Dragon Glade, the City of Silver, and the City of the Pure. You passed the first of our examinations, which measured nominal intelligence, and were thus allowed! Congratulations, but now's the crucial part to start. Few people, even among the Azari, even in 'Cill, completely comprehend our culture. Since this is the first in a series of tutorials designed to address that, I will start with the most serious topic we have: purity. It is not the end all be all; ongoing learning is a key component of our frequently mentioned tagline.
At its unadulterated core, Amanwa means the following - "Progress", and "Health", Aire. Many of us say it, and often - but what does it actually mean?
Progress - Amanwa
This is the ongoing progress both in personal and societal spheres. What does it signify in reality?
To interpret and understand the past in order to make sense of the present and future.
Must write in order for future generations to benefit from the experiences of their predecessors.
To understand the meanings behind customs in order to eliminate the unnecessary and preserve the valuable.
Must see the boundary between progress—where lives are better—and madness—where actions endanger the health of the individual and the nation.
Must comprehend the history of inferior races' cultures, as even lions may contribute ideas and elements to our fortunate society.
Health - Aire
This includes all aspects of life, but particularly the body and mind. We should not pierce ourselves needlessly, battle with weapons when we can win with words, or marry with inferior races since doing so would cause our numerous blessings to degenerate for our own health. The intellect, however, is just as vital as the body in defending us against madness, from degenerating into ignorance, and from the perversion of the concepts of advancement and well-being. This also pertains to the state, community, and family unit's well-being. This is where Purity comes from.
Purity is the idea of self-perfection in health; it is frequently used by the inferior races as justification for our sins and by us as justification for a great deal of our actions, both right and wrong. Here are a few commonly asked questions and their responses.
Why is the pure superior?
To put it simply, if all else were equal, who would you want as an ally: a mentally strong, healthy man, or a mentally unstable, mad one? Likewise, we associate with those who strive for physical and mental well-being, advancement in education and life, and reciprocation of our benefits. In other words, we sort and discard the chaff in order to avoid wasting time on meaningless activities.
Does a person's bloodline signify purity?
Not always—many times, when our brothers see problems in our state, they have been misled and brainwashed. However, observe their outcomes; a fallen council member joined the woodland Grove and became into a degenerate who dances around bonfires. Though not always, higher blood frequently suggests a better beginning point. However, it should be noted that one's bloodline, depending on their social status is an indicator to the strictness they are to observe whilst travelling upon the course of purity.
Do we hate the lesser races?
We don't, because do you detest the squirrel and curse at it as it nibbles on pine nuts? Non-'cill are like the squirrel, surviving whole generations in the time it takes for many of us to reflect on a particularly moving poetry. The fact that they can talk is not really significant; it's kind of like an owl cooing while someone is trying to write, except more annoying. The 'cill's doesn't give a damn about the taunts from people half as old and twice as smart as them.
And the 'lunn, what about it?
The exception to the rule is this. The 'Lunn are people who, although having been granted the same blessings as ourselves, including a blessed form and development and well-being chances, wasted their birthright by choosing to live as animals or as insane dark magicians. Azari'lunn are hated, and with good reason—they are the kind that would sooner ruin a place than better themselves.
