Roni and Zeb Swap Religious Cloths
By Yitexity
October Monthly Print featuring Zebby and Roni with inexplicably swapped holy attire. Roni can’t quite figure out how to put the Kog over her glasses, so she’s probably going to eat her lunch off it later. Zebby realizes he’s pretty.
I assume that the kogs are ethnoculturally related to the masks the beacon guards are wearing?
Perhaps. The Pasturists and the Shintarics share a similar core belief in the light each person possesses. These two religions are based on Judaism (Pasturism) and Christianity (Shintarism). Like with some sects of Christianity sharing some of the same texts with Judaism (the Old Testament for example), the Shintarics share similar texts (I assume) with the Pasturists. Therefore, cultural practices and outfits would be shared or have similar aspects.
Or the schismatic nature inherent in any religion.
That has made me theorise that there are other sects of Pasturism in the comic. Different regions have influenced the development of different varieties of Shintarism, but what about Pasturism. I was thinking primarily in the forms of different military orders. Compare the Nanzuul to the Knights Templar. The Knights were not the only military order of the Catholic Church. Similarly, perhaps there are different military orders in Pasturism. Another comparison is the Order of Assassins, a distinct Islamic military group that broke away from the dominant Islamic order at the period. Perhaps these other Pasturist groups have different ideas on Hunters. This could be a way for Zeb to ease his nerves and help reconcile himself with the idea of his new hunter partner. Might also help give him more confidence, and allow him to work over the guilt of being out of season. This might be an opportunity got him to train to show the Nanzuul and the other Pasturists how wrong they were in telling him how weak he was.
