Core Beliefs:

To tread upon the iridescent path is to devote yourself to the aid of other souls; whether it be spiritually or physically.  Shorewalkers are intended to serve as guides to aid one through their struggles, and teach them of their worth; every soul has the right to decide their own path in life, and ought to be shown the true value of their own essence–that the soul is enduring and capable of greater change.  The great flaw of Aeriel’s judgment and devastation it’s brought to our fates in the afterlife has been permitted to shape our destinies too greatly.  We take the misconceptions of a distant Aengul as facts of our own nature and give in to the surging rivers of her views, when we can rise above her currents and make her understand the quality of our souls.

 

The Shore doesn’t promote violence, unless it be in defense of the innocent or the realm itself; otherwise it’s believed to only continue the cycle of misery.  The ultimate desire of those who walk The Shore is to spread word around enough for the descendents to join together in a plea to make Aeriel hear the people.

 

Contention of Aeriel:

Although those who walk The Shore stand against Aeriel’s judgment, they do not seek to bring war upon her.  Shorewalkers believe and understand in the individual might and strength a soul possesses, capable of deciding its own fates without the guidance or influence of greater powers - yet the choice to serve and worship higher beings still remains as one’s own right to decide.  Old beliefs and philosophies have existed prior, which criticize the influence of deific beings and even seeks to tear them down through violence and war–yet the true Shorewalker condemns such paths for they are filled with hypocrisy and suffering.

 

To seek war upon the deific will only bring harm upon those around us, and will perpetuate our struggle; it would only further soil us in the eyes of Aeriel and make her feel more justified with her cruelty. 

 

Sentinel of the Veil:

The strain upon the veil between the living and the dead has grown immensely due to the ceaseless damnation brought upon by Aeriel, the realm of the dead has grown into a festering source of chaos and anguish that bleeds into the matters of The Material Realm.  Countless spirits linger and grow lost in death, unable to move on to face Aeriel’s judgment; their entangling fates wound up bringing much turmoil to the living.

 

A Shorewalker is intended to seek out these lost specters and undo their spiritual knots, to serve as a guide for them for they are a soul in greater need of aid.  A soul remains as a soul, no matter whatever appearance it bears.  Yet, the dead do not belong in The Material Realm; it is a plain fact of nature, and the strain to go against it weighs heavy on lost spirits–enough to confuse their identity, and transform them into something foreign to themselves.  Clarity is to be delivered, assurances offered; guidance.  Yet the unruly and chaotic, those would not heed anything, are to be removed so that their messy fates do not disrupt others.

 

Beyond this, a Shorewalker’s interests are in maintaining the balance between the realms of the living and the dead; reduce violence brought up by ignorance; further spread word of the cause to make Aeriel hear us; and guard the realm from powers that would seek to invade.

 

Defend the Dream:

While The Shore preaches for mercy, the offer of redemption and penance, and seeks to provide a second chance for all to rise above their sins and change for the better… Those who would take this mercy as a weakness would be mistaken; and those who would seek to abuse it are to be punished severely.  The same goes for False Shorewalkers; parasites who would use values and the word of The Shore for their own selfish gain and abuse are to be marked as threats toward the iridescent path.

 

There will be no toleration of those who would corrupt the dream for all, and seek to destroy it from the inside.

A young Mali'ame pauses in her path along the streets of a whitened city, her remaining hand lofting to lightly thumb at one of the missives upon the wall. Hesitantly, she carefully plucks the paper from its perch and returns to her abode. 

 

In the next few hours, she copies the missive down, word for word, over and over and over... 

 

One gets left upon the desk she works at, in clear view of the door, the rest, sent out through the aviary, to a very specific and particular group of people.
