Nachi
Culture
The religion is one of the few official monoduga groups that openly accepts—even reveres—severed monoduga.
Their teachings revolve around one person reaching enlightenment and becoming a conduit for more than one Sphere, something that has only ever been achieved globally by the Purple Pilgrim. As such, they prise individuality, and Nachisifu has the highest percentage of Severed and Individualists across Monyus.
Divine Origins
Centuries ago, there was a Severed monoduga. His name has been lost to time, and most monoduga find little stock in names anyway. This one in particular was fascinated by the duality of the Frozen Desert and sought to replicate that duality in himself, to open himself up as a Conduit to two opposing Spheres.
He set out to cross the desert with no gear or supplies, hoping to reach enlightenment. He eventually arrived at the Purple Oasis, half-dead, and fell unconscious. When he came to, he found that he could indeed channel energy from two different Spheres, and has remained as the guardian of the Oasis ever since.
Believers say his channeling and vena-esque lifespan are because of the divine power granted to him by becoming a Sphere Bridge. Critics of the religion claim something happened to the Pilgrim when he made his original pilgrimage, and that the Purple Pilgrim is a different person (or other entity) entirely.
