We only dictate the rules as long as it fits with scripture.

The pope can't arse up new rules out of nowhere for instance. There has to be something in the scriptures to justify it.

Bad comparison, and by the way that is what theology is all about.

Edit: On further thought, there might be an issue with the Fire Lord being subject to another woman that isn't God. Officially, I mean. Would have to do some creative explaining.
Challenge accepted. :cool:

The words 'Ahura Mazda' mean literally 'The Wise God'. There is only one God, and we are not a God, but merely His representative on earth. Some would say, we are His reincarnation. However, though the God may be one, there is no such thing to be said about the reincarnations. (We may or may not mention that the deceased Lord Ahura was another incarnation, not a false one, to strengthen our words - depends on whether or not we want to vilify him).

But here is the thing - the God, Ahura Mazda, does not have a gender. The words that comprise the term are 'Ahura', which is associated with masculinity and means 'Lord', and 'Mazda', which is decisively feminine and denotes 'Wisdom'. It would be logical to assume that a single male incarnation can not represent the God in His wholeness. Yes, we are Ahura, their Lord, and Qilin is Mazda, the one whose words we follow, for is it not right for the Wise God to be guided by Wisdom first and foremost?

Their previous Lord understood that he is not whole, which is why he tried to seek Mazda out (certainly he had a higher purpose in mind and wasn't just a lusty rapey freak, was he?), but the fate did not deem his worthy to receive the blessing of Wisdom, and so he perished without being united with his second half. Which is a polite way of saying that he died like a giant flaming moron.

So the representatives of the God are actually both Qilin and Jing, with Jing as a ruler and Qilin as an advisor. They are whole, yet sepatate, which allows Jing to have his own wives and have Qilin outside of the rankings. We have a precedent of multiple incarnations of a single God who sought to have Qilin on their side, so it can be speculated that she must be important to their religion in some way. The meaning of the words supports the theory. Just give it to Xiahou Yu to proofread for obvious goofs, give Ameretat a slap on the ass and get Vahista drink himself unconscious so that he would not hear a word of it until it is over and done.

...I'm having way too much fun with this. :lol:

All we have to do is troll around the holy flame and fake a vision!
Just like eclipses and egiptians.

Also nevill where is Yunzi in your equation?

An advisor is subject to his or her Lord.

Alternatively, if they are both separate parts of a whole, they have equal ranking. She'll still have to prove herself by dipping into the Holy Flame before they'll accept it. Thanks to your luck, you get BBQ Qilin, you waifu murderer.

But of course she is the wife No.1! She is our Holy Maiden, we can't have her to be second or third.

You just had to spoil it, did you?

Hm, I wonder if that part with the Flame could be avoided with clever mental gymnastics.

Besides, why would they have equal rankings? They may be two parts of a whole, but they don't have to be equal and identical parts, like yin and yang. You can't demand from yin to be able to do what yang does.

I see no reason not to. With Qilin's flagging confidence, hitching up with her is the thing to do. Besides, she's already or wife.

If she isn't holy enough to endure the flame, how can she be an aspect of God? :M

You are probably better off becoming strong enough to defeat Tulu Huodu and all of the Amesha then telling them you're going to marry the way you see fit.

I disagree. Is mind a subject to the soul?

Dammit, I just wanted to rewrite the Holy Scriptures to suit my harem needs!

Or you could just become Emperor, which is a position powerful enough to override any theology or pride they might cling to (thanks to the benefits you can confer). Then elevate Cao'er to main Empress, with all others equal beneath her as lesser empresses.

God knows I wanted to give Cao'er to Shun and make her the Empress. Being our little Princess Jianning, she would just castrate the poor guy and remain our own waifu anyway while retaining the benefits of the throne. Our offsprings would have ruled the Empire!

But alas, the power of homo love would not have allowed it.

That sorta happens in Cao'er route, where she goes nuts and severely trims Zhang Manxing's Zhang Jr., and you have a choice whether to put the guy out of his misery.

Yang Xue fathered a son while guarding the Northern border before he went native.

...Cousins are fine too.

Qilin's mother is Jing's aunt.

Ditto for Lingshu's mother.

Cao'er and Jing actually have the same biological father.

Bai Jiutian is his long lost elder sister.

Xuezi is his great-great-grandaunt.

Next, on Days of Our Lives...

It's interesting that people are so passionate and creative when waifus are concerned compared to demon question thing. People are literally searching every nook and cranny to get them all:lol:

Flopping to A for delicious Wudu princess.

Why not propose a triple marriage so we can be done with the first batch of waifus? We have more tail to chase anyway (Yifang, Song, Bai) for the next batch.

The Taoist Redemption

You meditate upon the teachings of Tao while practising your Taiji moves. As you dwell deeper into your own being your moves become natural. This meditation lasts hours on maybe even a day, you found it easy to loose yourself in the tranquility sometimes.

But you find something new, different in yourself this time. It is but a simple weak undercurrent to your qi that you never could feel before. Your curiosity takes over as you draw this part out into your mind. A strong feeling of grieve as memories seep into you, memories of a lost life. Tears roll down your cheeks. You *remember* now, you remember what they did to you, you feel the anger on THEM for taking away your Love. You feel anger towards HER. Nuva, you sworn revenge upon her!

You are lost in these feelings and memories for minutes, hours. But a conscious thought hits you. Did you swear revenge? Or did you swear to find the one you Loved? You feel a dark entity inside you, angered that you question IT, question YOURSELF.
'Why do you defy US Xu Jing? You are just a reincarnation, GIVE UP.' The presence is strong, oppresive. It tries to push you out into subconscious again. But you hold onto yourself, remind yourself there are people you love that depend on you.
'Again with those that depend on US? Oh don't worry WORM I will grant your desire.' You wrestle the opressing thoughts.
'YOU' you think 'YOU are not a real part of me.' you pause 'No you are born of hatred, a separate entity, Transcendent One.'
'YES' it answers 'But now I found you and we are whole again, your desires will be granted.'
'You have lost yourself, Transcendent, when we separated. *REMEMBER*' you fight for control over the flow of your qi and use WQ and Taoist philosophy to corner this entity. This state keeps for so long you can't even gasp the meaning of time.
But you finaly win, you corner the Transcendent One and make him *remember* what he was before you were separated. You feel the entity writhe, tormented by the same memories as you.
'Do you *remember* now Transcendent One?' he tries to attack you again in last desperate move 'Have you not learned anything over the eons?' you let the words ring out as you dissolve him to finaly find peace.
'We have become *true* again' you think as you feel at peace, there is no one to answer you. 'We have work to do, I remember myself again'

You wake up in a dark room. You feel weak as you try to stand up.
'Jing!' you hear Cao'er gasp.
'Oh I'm fine, don't worry' you try to be cheerful but you colapse to the ground.

Your followers explain to you that you were out cold for almost a month. They found you lying on ground weeping and whispering tales of a celestial battle.

After you come back to health you feel stronger, more whole then ever.


Neigong
The Shism and Restoration of Heavens (10/10)
Just as you once fought the Celestials and brought a great Shism to the Heavens and yourself, you found your Way again. Your very being is between the state of Order and Chaos. You can hold any of the states for unlimited amount of time. Your control over the flow of your qi is ultimate. Your willpower is unbreakable as you finaly found your real purpose. (+4 STR, +4 END, +4 AGI in any of the states; +2 PER, +2 INT in orderly state; +2 END, +2 STR in chaos state)
