Kungshao, Dragon God of War



Kungshao, isnt so much worshipped as acknowledged. By simply saying 'I acknowledge your existence.' Inside most Tersanctans believe that they are bringing Good Fortune upon the Land by doing this. To take it a level Deeper, Kungshao is a teacher, or He who brings knowledge.

In fact to call Kungshao, a God of War, is a mistranslation from the original Dialect which has been dead for hundreds of years now. Originally it meant 'God of Defense' or a level deeper would come out something like 'War for the right reasons'. In essence Kungshao never called for Human sacrifice, or to 'wipe the land clean of thine enemies.' But rather to seek knowledge, and truth, and fight your enemies with your mind. This has resulted in a strong Diplomatic tendencies, and often underhanded tactics in wartimes.



Kungshao himself is an Immortal Elder Dragon whom is characterized as a Wise, and Gentle being, whom thousands of years ago made contact and counsel with the Wisest Men of the day. And taught them the precepts of which Human's should live by to acheive handama which means literally, life after death. Because according to his teachings, Humans live after death only if achieved through selfless, or corageous or creative action. If they live a life of pettyness, and no passion, they 'shall be as dust unto the wind. As to what happened later, there are records claiming that Kungshao spent many generations with man, only to later depart to a place, "In the sky, that is not here, but it is there."

As for any particular Church there is none, as Kungshao's teachings state to 'seek your own path to me' though there is a Temple of Kungshao in nearly every major city to serve as a Place to read of the teachings. Though the Templar Legions are reportedly Warriors for Kungshao, in that they live by the Teachings to bring themselves to a higher plane of Consciousness to be what they feel is a 'Warrior Poet'.

In usual depictions Kungshao is wrapped around a sword, to represent Military Might, or a willingness to defend the Homeland from foreign aggressors, he is even on the National flag, next to the Great Seal of Tersanctus.
