Book of Kraus

An ancient religion that came to prominence within Valmasia under the Order of Light, headed by the hero of legend, Arthor Pendragon, who defeated the Perfect Yokai Mordred. Since the Azraelite Alliance became the ruling power in Valmasia all religious doctrine of the Book of Kraus has been purged. Now it's only passed down by word of mouth over the centuries, and some common beliefs among the peasantry are:
* The teachings were based around three High Angels. Mercy, Justice, and Wisdom. "It's a mercy to spare an Oscuri, it's justice to slay them, but it's wise to ask for forgiveness and bend the knee until The Chosen returns."
* Arthor Pendragon was the human form of Kraus, and he returned again in the twelfth century, battling the triumvirate head on. He will return again a third time, and the sins of all will be laid bare. 
* Oscuri are cannibals that must routinely feast on human flesh. They dislike the smell of ash, as a charred corpse cannot be raised to undeath. Rubbing it on your skin can prevent an Oscuri from selecting you as a meal.
* Flies, spiders, and snakes are reincarnations of the undead. Someone that's followed by either of the three is a necromancer. Necromancers sometimes pose as homeless beggars to find easy targets.
* An undead has no soul. They will trick you into thinking otherwise with their words. If you show one kindness, your flesh may begin to rot.
* Those who break a sworn oath become yokai in their next lives. Those who are especially sinful tend to be the higher class of yokai. If someone swears on the lives of their family and breaks the promise, the yokai can mark their scent and hunt them down.
