Masingi
The Great Dragon of Beauty
The Bountiful Lady of the Zenith of Reclamation, the second layer of Totripjah Uoinota, resides within the Ruins of the Verdain Colosseum. Masingi acts as the Bountiful Lady of this layer and has cursed the plantlife to poison the hearts of those that are ambitious enough to steal them. Those that steal these plants feel a sense of pride in themselves, a vanity that cannot be exceeded and must always be expressed. This reflects in Her surroundings as the plantlife will always try to grow overtop of another and dominate the landscape. Even the devils of Her layer are constantly changing forms, and even when some desire to flee to have a new life like No, the Champion of Friendship, they will be punished severely. Her mount is recognized to be a Brown Drake.
Dogma
Masingi is an oppressive matron of Her garden caretakers and guards. Constantly overseeing their work to ensure they are performing to the best of their abilities. If they aren't, then they will be petrified and shattered as their other obedients will take the remains away and pave the mazes with their former "friend." Masingi claims that She is the most beautiful across all of existence, but if She feels threatened in this regard then She will eradicate those that are vain enough to believe they can contend with Her unmatched beauty.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
Worshippers of Masingi aim to utilize Her ideals for the betterment of balahran society. Because of this, the balahran peoples have attempted to avoid vanity and choose to connect with others. However, the Bountiful Lady's favor is gained when any balahran engages in vain acts or even secluding themselves, even if that seclusion is for the betterment of Xilunwa. Redemption for the Thirteen is only for those that are Chosen, and the Chosen must perform acts that are abhorrent to that Great Dragon. For Masingi, this act is modesty. To understand one's own limitations and accept mediocrity.
Interactions with the World
Masingi influences the actions of Her worshippers through temptation, as is this is the typical corruptive action that all of the Thirteen use on their worshippers. Masingi's temptation upon Her worshippers is the desire to express one's achievements. This initially started as challenging any and all comers to see who is the most masterful in certain trades, skills, and feats, but it developed into what Chosen are considered. And thus, Masingi benefits from each Chosen that is anointed.
