==The Laws of the Diversity Alliance==
===The Diversity Alliance Religion===
In recent years, theologians returned to the anchent documents and discoverd a whole new set of teachings. The expectations are as follows:
Great Prophet, Worlk Lodva, attained divinity through enlightenment, sharing of his wisdom, and the helping of those in need
The Great Prophet was murderd by a Sith on the 5th day of the year, causing the split of his followers
Then his exaltation to the realm of Deity and inspiration of Gaddon, who then united the feuding sides and lead his people back to the ideals of the Great Prophet
The devout may be exalted too after death, enlightened during life.
And lastly, none can be truly devout without having retraced their Great Prophets journey in a Great Pilgrimmage
The Members of The Diversity Alliance MUST:
Regard the 5th day of the Year as a holy day, when they stop their activities to mourn and pray.
Regard Coruscant, Corellia, Neimoidia, and Duro to be holy places, as they were the places visited by the prophet, Duro being the most holy
Are expected to undertake the pilgrimmage to the holy places sometime in their life
