Shigana
Shigana means religion of emotion.
Shiganak are the belief systems to which the ensali tribes have devoted themselves and designed their lives around.
Each tribe has their own shigana designed around a different emotion.
Each shigana has a different deity, which they call an aza, statutes, and values, but every shigana condemns the interbreeding of tribes.
The Eight Shigana
Zusugana - Religion of Happiness
Aza: Ekses
Tribe: Wuwisalsan
Zusugana emphasizes feeling good and avoiding the things that will damper your mood.
Followers of zusugana are heavily involved in the most stimulating and enjoyable endeavors of life.
Purugana - Religion of Sadness
Aza: Yagdret
Tribe: Mumosalsan
Purugana wallows in the pain of life and views life from the perspective of suffering.
Purugana followers attempt to embrace all the pains of life, even those that are not theirs, for the sake of purification.
Wutangana - Religion of Seriousness
Aza: Ringbo

All fun and games are abandoned by followers of wutangana in exchange for a life of purpose through work and discipline.
Kargana - Religion of Anger
Aza: Otenimp
Tribe: Butusalsan
Kargana is about objection and retribution. It preaches disdainful expressions and retaliation for offenses.
Do not cross a follower of kargana or be prepared for a response; one that could be outsized and exaggerated to the offense.
Chogana - Religion of Pride
Aza: Fals
Tribe: Zupasalsan
Chogana calls on its followers to elevate themselves through self-aggrandizement and achievement.
One may be asked to bow before a follower of chogana. Do not take offense for this is merely an expression of how much they think they are better than you.
Zogana - Religion of lowliness
Aza: Tuul
Tribe: Lilesalsan
Zogana promotes service, equality, and abandonment of status.
Zogana followers are compelled to assist and serve at your leisure, and they would truly appreciate it if you extended the same courtesy to them; it’s only neighborly.
Gurogana - Religion of Courage
Aza: Redinelaan
Tribe: Pufosalsan
Gurogana demands an uninhibited lifestyle that is ungoverned by anything other than breaking limits.
It’s not uncommon to hear of or witness a gurogana follower lose their lives in the pursuit of a challenge. But they believe life (and death) is more fun with some risk.
Atagana - Religion of Fear
Aza: Igno
Tribe: Shusalsan
Atagana prioritizes life and well-being over all else.
The responses to fear are fight, flight, and freeze. A follower of atagana seeks to master all three as a means to preserve the one thing in life that cannot be done without: life itself.
