Stone Shamanism
The Shin religion: stone is sacred, not to be walked upon; the souls of the obedient are given to the stones at death rather than exiled to nothingness. Better to exist in agony than to vanish entirely. SA:WoK:I-6
Known facts
- soldiers-defile-stone-by-designIn Shin religion, the greatest task in life is to create or add; breaking what others created — or marring the art of the spren and the Heralds — is the greatest shame. Soldiers, whose lives are *blasphemy* because they kill, are *permitted* to walk on stone because they are already defiling it; each new weapon forged is said to increase their sin. They are reviled accordingly.SA:WaT:Ch 40
