***The Beginnings***

In the dark blue depths of the ocean lay dormant Kyūri-Kami unable to enter the world in their true body without rendering the world asunder they made a sea-cucumber In BL 40,000 that would slowly grow over time while using the water around it as nutrition draining the ocean around it, slowly making a large landmass, after the water went below a certain point it died, then Kyūri-Kami sent out a large gust of wind that blew apart the sea cucumber and sent all of its remains into the surrounding lands and slowly forms of the new life we're born the first being the Bakuhatsu-mono Shokubutsu that went around the world terraforming the lands and spreading all life forward and quickening its development in BL 30,000, then in BL 20,000 the Murabito was born as the first people and built villages and grew plants, they where herbivores and they where the first to understand there was a creator and who that creator was, they soon made buildings dedicated to worship the Kyūri-Kami. A member of the Murabito AkiraKaiyō, once in prayer spoke to the Kyūri-Kami who bestowed upon their knowledge and wisdom beyond any mortal and thus they became the first Han Kami, and with their newfound power spread KyūriShūkyō as far as they could. After a Millennia a new race was born, the Fumetsu Toho Ryokō-she, who did something the Murabito people had never tried to do, explore the world. After a while the Fumetsu Toho Ryokō-she formed multiple different nations and belief systems that also incorporated the Murabito, most of them did not mind joining hands with the Fumetsu Toho ryokō-sha but does who did become the Hashira that is constantly in conflict with all the others. Most of the Murabito, Fumetsu Toho ryokō-sha, and Hashira left the landmass which they called MazuhaKonkyo after a great war against the Akuma that destroyed most of the Civilization at the time. While the Murabito people never evolved any further the Fumetsu Toho Ryokō-she eventually developed into the Fumetsu No Abata bringing the world to a new age, AL 1.

***Time Lines Explanation***

B.L stands for Before Leave it works like B.C where it counts down, there are only 50,000 years in B.L (For KyūriShūkyō, any other religion or nation can stretch it out as long as they want it won't affect KyūriShūkyō lore.). APE stands for After Player Entry, not when the server opened only when the first player got on it. A.L works like modern times going up instead of down, the current time is A.L 822-(was 817 5 IRL months ago), (Isn't following real-world standard, the period in lore is 817 [Side note: not everyone is in the same period and even if they are not everyone in the same period have the same tech or cultures').

***Believes***

Followers of the KyūriShūkyō believe in ascension, as AkiraKaiyō became a Han Kami from the Kyūri-Kami giving him knowledge and wisdom beyond any mortal allowing him to ascend. To reach ascension one must reach the peak of knowledge and wisdom then offer up your body to Kyūri-Kami. Kyūri-Kami will then alter your body into a holy vessel and give you enlightenment turning you into a Han Kami.

KyūriShūkyō followers believe that one-day Kyūri-Kami will be able to come to the world in a holy body made through their faith to the Kyūri-Kami. From this belief many members of the religious theories' that the Kyūri-Kami will come down to the world and transform it into Ten.

KyūriShūkyō followers treasure sea-cucumbers as a holy idol due to the creation of the MazuhaKonkyo and wind being the element brought down from Ten by Kyūri-Kami.

**The Twelve Realms**

The **Kyūri-Kami** is always deviating in-between the lines of 'Good' and 'Evil', being forced into a neutral stance for most instances. This makes it so to those good souls that reach one of the six "heavens" to be blessed with endless happiness but the worst tortures Imaginable to those 'Evil' souls that make it into one of the six "hells".

Ten is often referred to as the main body of the Kyūri-Kami, often depicted with six sets of hands (6 arms and hands on both sides of their body), on the Kami's right side each of their hands holds a 'Heaven' but on their left, they hold 'Hell's" instead. Kyūri is believed to be the judge of the souls that have faith in them and will send their souls into one of the heavens or hells depending on what they did in their life. Each 'Heaven' and 'Hell" have different titles that allude to what takes place inside them. The 'Heavens' are, Jizen (Charity), Seimei (Life), Chie (Wisdom), Tadayoshi (Loyalty), Menter (Mentor), and kaizen (Improvement). The 'Hells' are, Seigen (restriction), Kurushimeru (torment), Oshiete (tell), Gureddo (Greed), Konton (chaos). Those that have been neutral in their life even in their lack of faith in the Kami are took-in pity upon and reincarnated becoming an 'aspect' of the Kami.
