--------------------------------

The sage known as Zanshin described himself as the incarnation of an eternal spirit that predated man and even the gods themselves.

Followers of this religion seek to maintain purity of mind and harmony with the world; but what this means and how this is to be achieved is something to be determined by the individual adherent. The journey is the thing for seekers of this faith, not the destination.

Zanshinist monks can be found throughout Ossia, with temples and shrines to be found even into parts of the Middle Sea.
