A Primer on The Gods of the Lizardfolk

= Religion =
Most of the lizardfolk worship Tūmatauenga (Too-mah-tau-enga) or Tu for short. Tu is three gods, split into different aspects. This concept is almost unheard by the people of Valley, and is far too close to monotheism for their tastes. Lizardfolk are far less interested in applied theology, and tend to think of gods more in the abstract sense, rather than as literal thinking extraplanar entities.
The choice to follow any of the aspects of Tu is one each lizardfolk must make for themselves, although the choice (once made) is rarely changed, and it dictates a lot of the individuals demeanor and their path in life. As far as followers of Tu are concerned, it does not matter which aspect you follow, they all follow the same god.
== Tu of the Mind (Tū-mata-whāiti or Tu-mata) ==
Tu-Mata is a Lawful Good god. They oversee tribes and diplomacy. They are the god of the rational, calm mind, which is the source of all actions their followers must take. They are associated with the phrase or koan “Take a deep breath” which is something impossible to say and do at the same time. It is meant slightly more metaphorically, along the lines of "you can't think and act at the same time. Think, then act". Their associated element is air, symbolized by calm and the deep breath. Followers of them ask themselves if they're doing the right thing, rather than doing what they want or need.
== Tu of the Lif (Tū-ka-riri or Tu-ka) ==
Tu-Ka is a Chaotic Good god. They oversee the individual spirit. They are the god of listening to your heart, rather than listening to others. They are associated with the phrase or koan “Cover your eyes and ears”, which probably means something like "look inside yourself". Their associated element is fire, symbolizing the spirit and all things that can be felt rather than sensed. Followers of them ask if they are living their own lives, and pursuing their own destiny, rather than following the will of others or even the will of their own body.
== Tu of the Husk (Tū-kai-taua or Tu-Kai) ==
Tu-Kai is a True Neutral god. They oversee the body, of oneself and others. They are a god of pragmatism, divorced from empathy or rage. Both healers and warriors follow them, as their followers seer the body as a simple fact to be considered or manipulated, rather than to be held sacred. They’re associated with the phrase “bare your teeth”, which is used to mean following ones instincts, in defiance to the previous two koans. Their associated element is water, symbolizing blood, and the tendency of water to flow for no reason of its own, other than the rules of reality. Their followers ask mainly scientific questions, working out the systems that govern their bodies and the world around them.
== Rūaumoko (Roo-ah) ==
Rua is a Lawful Evil god. They oversee the weather, and disasters. They are seen as a mean, spiteful god who only pays attention to the mortal world when they wish to inflict a certain suffering. They are also seen as lazy, unable to summon the energy to do much too often, which balances their spiteful nature. A good spring isn’t the work of Rua, but rather their absence. Their priests act in the same spiteful way, in an attempt to curry favor with them. 
== Tāwhirimātea (Ta-whiri) ==
Tawhiri is a Chaotic Evil god. They embody the worst parts of the lizardfolk, and the world itself, namely randomness and madness. The are seen as a perfectly patient god, willing to lie in wait and seep into the land, infecting it with their malice. Their religion is probably an offshoot of Tsathogganism, as much of the lore and thematics are the same. Ta-whiri has few priests, but they are a jolly bunch. Following their gods entropic footsteps, they’re willing to wait until the world goes to hell.
