Kaithurhi Philosophy
Much of the Kaithurhi’s beliefs are founded on Transcendentalist tenets, such as the importance of self-reliance and individuality and the innate goodness of man and nature. Notably, their culture is not based in individualism, which views all governance as harmful to the individual, but their government is often extremely weak and only protective.
In Kaithurhi tribes, families are expected to feed, clothe, and perform for themselves other essential services. These families then form into defensive pacts and alliances, which constitute the actual “tribes.” Codependent relationships, such as equal trade, where both parties would be worse off if one left, are neither frowned upon nor encouraged.
Metaphysically, the Kaithurhi see the Shadowless Dream and physical realm as part of the same dynamic process, as opposed to two separate locations. Namely, they believe them to be two separate states of mind that change one’s view of the world.
Finally, the Kaithurhi believe that all life is an expression of Emrall, each being containing a fractal piece of his infinite soul. Thus, all life is an individual expression of a piece of Emrall, and connected yet unique. To live by and for themselves and to be appreciative of the nature that surrounds them and the Emrall inside them, that is the philosophy of the Kaithurhi.
