Yogsha the Redemption of Kyojin

Many individuals have heard of the term "Yogsha", this word has surfaced here on Amriga leaving many locals unfamiliar with it. Through a depth study with their worshippers, it is a title close to the hearts of the worshippers of the World Smiths. Although I ain't a worshipper myself I hope to attempt to allow this book to illustrate the significance of those known as Yogsha.   The term first originated from the god Yogsha who was documented to of being killed by the Alfar - The ancestors to the Liren. The idea of Yogsha coming back originated as a false hope among the Daidarabotchi, but became a place of worship among the Kenhika. They also believe that every god we have had is just a reincarnation of Yogsha, which is an interesting president.   Although there are some rules that bind Yogsha, criteria that are needed to be reached in order for their revival. The individual needs to be a hermaphrodite, be a mixed race, have eyes of opal and a link to the stars. The god themself was a hermaphrodite, there wasn't anything else I could discern from this. They are required for their parents to be of two different races, but this is a little vague as it is unclear if 2 very similar races would be able to. Most said the difference has to be notable as the original depictions of Yogsha show half their body being blue and the other half gold, this seems to link with how they split up into two giant kin races, but this is just a hunch. Eyes of opal, this is something I got to see for myself when briefly seeing the individual Kyojin Bougan Yogsha while visiting their kingdom titled Kyojin Kingdom. The eyes shift like that of milk in water with a soft glow, I have heard some refer to them as the eyes of the stars a way for Yogsha to be projected through a mortal. That is what I thought they meant by the link to the stars, but no it actually refers to their divine power, although it never stays the same per reincarnation. This interaction seems to hold the ability to command this spear in the air as if they are holding it from a distance as well as their entire army of undead called Kara.   Interviewing the crusader known as Ingvar Erakson Stormbreaker I was given an enlightened view of what Kyojins's goals are. They wish to set the land free of the infernal legacy and slavery the Shesire Sovereignty have on the continent. Staying indifferent and discrete I have chosen to keep most of the conversation private.   The civil war will bring great suffering to the people and through it, the people may find a new home. I hope this brief explanation of the term Yogsha has helped those uninformed such as myself.
