Avodai have diverse political and religious beliefs. Pick one of these options or mix and match elements to be true to your own character. As it is said: where there are two Avodai, there are three opinions. Think about how you came to your beliefs and how they impact your personality.
-
Legalist #
You fastidiously follow the Word according to the strictest interpretations. You believe Avodai should reject any outside influences and feel more comfortable in the more traditional Kahal over the progressive Terida. You prioritize preserving Avodai communal rights over individual rights. You believe energy bending should be strictly used for bodily healing. Not even communication spells should be used.
-
Moralist #
You believe that the Word is the core to Avodai life, but work to find creative loopholes where outdated laws and traditions cause harm. While you may have some Lumdai friends, you believe Avodai should maintain their unique culture. You take a more expansive view of what health means for using energy bending, For example, people with energy limiting disabilities should have access to walking chairs.
-
Modernist #
You believe in continuity and change. It is important for the Avodai to adapt to the modern world, while maintaining their core principles. You advocate for continued expansion of the individual rights of Avodai citizens within Markes and believe Avodai institutions, such as the Society of Rafa, should act as ambassadors to greater society. You believe energy bending should only be used in a limited capacity outside of healing, such as walking carts to preserve the backs of people and animals.
-
Innovator #
You believe in combining secular and Avodai knowledge. You expand Avodai practice through new rituals and religious interpretations. You believe Avodai should bring their unique perspectives to the greater society. You are active in the cultural and artistic Avodai enlightenment movement centered in Terida. You may be a member of the New Avodai Society, who believe energy bending should be used in innovations that benefit the community, such as energy-powered lights and gondolas between Terida and Kahal.
-
Rebel #
You do not believe in the Light and chafe against Avodai strictures. You think the community is too stuck in the old ways. You seek new ideas and innovation in the greater society. You are more likely to marry outside of the community. You have many Lumdai friends.

Agnostic Traditionalist #
While you do not believe in the Light, you believe Avodai traditions are important for community cohesion and continuity. You work towards Avodai acceptance in society, while fearing persecution and discrimination. You are proud of your unique heritage. You have mixed feelings about energy bending outside of healing, as you do not want the techniques to fall in the wrong hands.
-
Lumdai Disinterest #
In order to practice as Rafas, all players are Avodai. Any not born into the community are converts (often bearing the surname bet Or), and you come to develop one of the other Political Alignments. Because there is no benefit to interfering in your “unnecessarily complicated” minority, the Lumdai majority are hands-off and permit much leeway in Avodai self-governance. Unlike these Lumdai majority, to whom Avodai politics and religious practice are arcane and inscrutable, you have developed respect and viewpoints on the issues driving the Avodai.
