Piscals have taken over almost all of dugist culture. They disrespect our Gods by caring more about Aquarius. If you were to ask a Traditional Dugist who the most powerful beings were, they would say "Bin Gu and Qinyi Du, of course!" But if you were to ask a Piscal, they would not say (and in their opinion too) the creators of the Universe! No, they would say "AQUARIUS!!!". This image sums up the Traditional opinion of Piscal Dugists completely:
But, the question is: what do the piscals actually believe in? Here is a summary of the Piscal saga, the second Holy Book of the Piscals:
Back when humanity was still in tribes, and the continents were still forming (the tectonic plates were new, and Bin Gu couldn't decide where the continents were supposed to fit together) there was an island off the east coast of what is now Canada called Afound. Afound held many tribes, but the one we are focusing on today is called Stejen. Stejen was a coastal fishing tribe. In the time this story takes place, there were only two types of creature in the ocean. There were Fish-Fish, that looked like flat fish with stubby legs, and Cancerous Crabs, (cancer as in the constellation) who looked like normal crabs, but with both arms going the opposite direction. Only Fish-Fish were native to the ocean, Can-Crabs were people who had been crabified by ancient conicosonorous rituals lost to time. Fish-Fish were caught by ropers, people who used a flexible ring made out of reed to lure Fish-Fish and pull them up to their boats. Fish-Fish lived in caves, so their natural instinct was to swim into the ring. This ended badly for them. One day, a man named Aquarius was born in the village. He had an unusual lisp, where he said Fish-Fish as fee-shee-fee-shee, Cancrab as xrab (x as in loch), and so on. He was made fun of for his lisp, so he decided to become a roper. At least as a roper, he would be far away from the village. Also, they might at least tolerate his lisp when he gave them food. On the fateful night of February 18, Aquarius was out roping when he felt a tug on his hoop. He tried to pull it up to his boat, but this one was too heavy for him. He tried for hours, knowing that if he let this one go he would have to come back to the village empty handed. He finally pulled it up when the clock struck midnight (Well, he had an hourglass with him. Clocks hadn't been invented yet.) When he pulled it up, he noticed this Fish-Fish looked strange. It was bigger than usual. It shimmered in the moonlight. It had an odd symbol on it's back. And then it started talking to Aquarius. He nearly fell out of his boat. Once Aquarius calmed down, the Fish-Fish told him it's name was Pisces, and it had magic powers. Pisces would give Aquarius his magic powers if he completed 12 trials. Then, Pisces jumped out of his boat, and the ocean started glowing. Aquarius quickly sailed to shore, and when he got onto land, the oceans stopped glowing. Aquarius dipped his toe in the water, and the ocean parted just enough to reveal a temple hidden under the sea, with a symbol like Pisces', but a bit different. This was the first trial. Aquarius naively walked in without a plan, and got rammed by a... ram. There was a colony of cancrabs nearby the glowing lights, and the elder decided to investigate. He came just in time to see Aquarius get rammed out of the temple. Normally, humans attacked cancrabs because they were "Arcane horrors who deserted Bin Gu and Qinyi Du", so cancrabs stayed away from humans. But, this human looked too weak too do any harm, so the elder took a chance. He patched up Aquarius' wounds while Aquarius told him his story. They quickly became friends. The elder told Aquarius that he was the elder of his colony, and the other cancrabs called him the Wise Crab. Aquarius asked him if he had any advice on the next trial. The Wise Crab knew many parables and proverbs, and decided to give Aquarius one. This parable is called the parable of Aries, because the ram was named Aries. He beat the first trial, and the ocean parted to reveal a second trial. The Wise Crab gave him a piece of his knowledge, and he beat the second trial. This pattern continued to the eleventh trial. By the fourth trial, people from the tribe who had heard about Aquarius' adventures came to watch. The most famous of these people was Aquarius' cousin Capricorn. Capricorn would later go on to spread the story of Aquarius to the world. By the eleventh trial, practically the entire tribe had come to watch. On the twelfth trial, the Wise Crab had no more advice to give. Aquarius went in the building... and never came out again. This building had the symbol of Pisces on it, so some believed Aquarius had gotten the magic powers promised to him. Two years passed after this time. Capricorn, inspired by his brother's journey, had become a roper. One day, while roping, Capricorn noticed that the ocean had started glowing. He asked "Is that you, Pisces?" The ocean rumbled, and a deep voice told him that Aquarius will come back when the earth most needs him, and Capricorn must spread the story of Aquarius to the rest of Afound, and then sail off into the Atlantic. Capricorn did what he was told, and was never seen again...
What happened to Capricorn after he sailed off into the ocean, never to be seen again? Well, some believe he really was never seen again. Those are Aneirist Piscals. Aneirist beliefs vary between churches, because there is no central authority to manage them. Some others believe that Capricorn sailed all the way to Afro-Eurasia (guided by Aquarius) and produced a heir, who is the rightful leader of the Church. Those are called Heirist Piscals. Heirist Piscals are then divided into three groups, who disagree who the heir is (and disagree on beliefs depending on what the heir has said). The first group are the Fernandans, with the heir Fernando Cortez of Spain. Fernando has said many radical things, so in the past Fernandans were white supremacists, but today Fernandan Piscals are not as radical. There are still incidents of Fernandan bombings of Trat Dugist churches, though. The next group of Heirists are the Togoists. The Togoists used to belive that a woman named Dayo Ibori of Togo was the heir. However, Togoism has changed since the time of Dayo Ibori, and Togoists now view the Piscal saga as a metaphor, not as truth. They still belive in Bin Gu and Qinyi Du, so the Togoists are good friends of the Trat Dugists. The third, and craziest Heirists are the Order of the Starry Plow with the heir Yo Nym of Ireland. The Order of the Starry Plow is a eugenic cult. They have changed the Piscal Saga, changing Capricorn to Orpheus, who came to Ireland with a boat full of snakes. St. Patrick is an imp of the void to them, because he rid Ireland of the holy snakes of Orpheus. By far, the most well known fact about the OSP is clued by their nickname: Red Blood. The eugenic side of the OSP is that if you are not a ginger, you cannot join, and you will be killed. Rank is determined by freckle count.
In conclusion, Piscals are the scum of the earth, and should be eradicated. There is but one agreement between Trats and Piscals: hate of Voidists/Trench Bottoms. You see, according to Piscals, after death, you do not go to the ethereal plane or the void, you go to the Trench. In the trench, you must complete the trials of Aquarius using your knowledge of the parables, and surface to live on the Ethereal Plane with Aquarius. Those who do a voidist ritual during their life stay at the bottom of the trench until they are allowed to try the trials. They are known as Trench Bottoms. This is the end of the Piscal page.
