Cziela

Cziela [tʂɻɪˈelɐ] is the name given to the religion practiced by the Meó. It is either derived from the ancient Herlucc religion, or from a common ancestor of the two. Either way, the Herlucc religion and philosophies have a major presence within the religion and culture of the Meó.

Five Constituents (Achyau)

A core belief of the Chziela religion is that everything in the universe is composed of one of five states of matter or "constituents", those five states being Wood, Metal, Air, Water, and Fire. Each of these elements has a 'representative' that are each considered sacred within the religion.

Categories	Amako	Akya	Akhe	Amiru	Aahko
Representative	Mako	The Wheel	Haki	Miru River	Ahko Tree
Form of life or Existence	Terrestrial	Manmade Animate Things	Aerial	Aquatic	Sapient, Fire itself
Realm	Natural Grounds	Manmade Grounds	Sky	Aquatic environments	Stars
Element	Wood	Metal	Air	Water	Fire

(Note that Áhko's element is not wood as the Ahko Tree is not in fact a true tree, and is much more like a grass, and does not produce wood, it is fire as the tree is highly flammable and can explode on occasion.)

Fire also includes lightning, electricity, magic, and magnets.

Cziela beliefs stipulate that everything has a balance of all five constituents within them, even if one is only present at an infinitely small concentration.
