[IC] Intersection of Faiths
#3

The Drakari religious figures certainly were... Mystifying. They had a certain Nova Roman aesthetic, but not quite Terran. The Drakari with his sword certainly seemed to be a Drakari counterpart of Granthi Singh. Some were more mysterious than others and the festival certainly looked promising now. Nearly all Stoinians looked in awe and curiosity at the Drakari delegation. This festival certainly would become interesting. Patriarch Abebe stepped forward to greet the Drakari.

"Greetings Drakari. Welcome on Paragon, the centre of Stoinian philosophy and an intersection of all Stoinian faiths. I shall present my people. In the meantime, be sure to take a little of this salted bread. For it's an old Stoinian tradition for visitors to eat it."

As some young girls in traditional Yaltopyan clothes came forth with the salted bread. Patriarch Abebe presented his religious fellows. He first pointed at Rabbi Mizrahi. A tad shorter on the Terran standard due to his old age, but he still thrived with enthusiasm. As the Rabbi nodded his head, his curls twirled yet his kippah remained ever on its place.

"This is Rabbi Azriel Mizrahi. He will represent the jewish faith of our Kingdom. The first Abrahamic religion from Old Terra."

Next was Cardinal Tsega Amrat, the Cardinal of Paragon. Like Patriarch Abebe, he was the largest authority of his faith on Paragon and was of Yaltopyan decent. The man was clean shaven and wore a red robe and a red hat, similar to Rabbi Mizrahi's kippah. On his chest he had a modest but shiny cross.

"Cardinal Tsega Amrat of the Stoinian Catholic Church. Like myself, the highest religious authority of his faith on the planet. Also an Abrahamic religion."

Imam al-Din wore simple white robes and sandals. Like the two gentlemen before him, he too wore a hat similar to the jewish kippah, but with different blue colorations. Unlike the Cardinal, the Imam had grown a respectable beard despite his relative age.

"Imam Badr al-Din, a priest of Stoinian Islam. The second largest religion on this planet and reformed by the famed duellist Tavi Rouhani. The youngest Abrahamic religion from before Stoinia was even an idea."

Pastor Sandberg was one of the religious leaders "imported" for the festival from a far away planet in the Qingdao Sector. He wore a black robe with a white neckerchief. Like the Cardinal he was clean shaven, but didn't have the ridges thanks to his young age.

"Pastor Oddvar Sandberg. A preacher of Stoinian Protestantism, a continuation of a religious rebellion from Old Terra against the Roman-Catholic Church of old. Luckily, this time around to no internal wars were fought."

The Stoinians cheered on the Patriarch's comment. Next was the fashionable Pontifex Taurinus who wore an exquisite red toga with pride alongside plated armbands. The Pontifex had a respectable curly beard and jet black hair.

"Pontifex Gnaeus Barbatius Taurinus. One of the Pontifexes of the revitalized religion Deus Sol Invictus. An ancient religion of the Romans, whom shared many linguistic similarities with yours."

Next were the eastern religions and their clothing showed a drastic difference compared to the rest. First up, was a young woman named Kotoe Nakamura who had actually travelled all the way from Shikoku. She wore a black kimono with a towering hat. The young lady smiled as she bowed respectfully with her hands hidden in her sleeves.

"Miko Kotoe Nakamura. This young and fine lady came all the way from the planet of Shikoku where our Kings learn how and what it means to lead our people based on the teachings of the Shintoists."

Next was Granthi Singh a middle aged man who just started to receive gray hair. Though it was only visible in his beard as his hair was tucked away neatly in his orange turban. Singh wore an orange robe similar to the Pontifex, but it exposed more of his fit and muscular body. His moustache was curled and revealed a warm smile. In his belt a small sword which was a bit larger than the traditional small kirpan all Sikhs were required to wear.

"Granthi Lajpal Dahal Singh a proud warrior and preacher of the Sikhi faith. A faith of warrior, hence his sword."

Then it was the turn of the bald and clean shaven Buddhist monk. The young man was visibly from an other ethnicity which prominently inhabited the Qingdao Sector. He too came from a far away planet, but made sure to only take his essentials. A small bowl and his clothing. His orange robe were tucked in a similar fashion like Granthi Singh, but exposed less of his body. A true humble man, he bowed respectfully with his hands put together.

"Rinpoche Kelden Dorje. Although his faith says there is no God, it does lead him to live a very pious and faithful life."

On the left of the Rinpoche was Guru Bhardwaj. He had looked of a similar ethnicity as the Sikh Granthi, but was clean shaven. He wore a simple but detailed set of clothes and on top of his head sat something similar to Granthi Singh's turban.

"Guru Jayesh Bhardwaj, a true Hindu in form. Though perhaps he might not be as handsome in his next life."

Last but not least was the Professor. The young man who just received his firstborn, stood proudly in his modern classical suit. The young man tall and blonde man had a small stubble beard.

"Professor Reginald Smith. He will represent those of the Stoinians who don't believe that there is such a thing as a God or Gods. Be it outright denial or just questioning the existence or form."

The Patriarch wore a black robe with a large golden cross with a round white hat with a silk sheet that covered the back of his head. On top of the hat was a small cross that glittered as the sun rays shined on it. In true Orthodox fashion, Abebe had a large and graying beard that nearly covered the cross on his chest.

"Ah, let us not forget myself. I'm Patriarch Derartu Abebe, the head of the Stoinian Orthodox Church on this planet. The largest religion of the Stoinian Star Kingdom and a brother religion of the Stoinian Catholic Church. We too are an Abrahamic religion. Now that we have presented ourselves, perhaps you'd be so kind to introduce us to the main Drakari faiths?"
