History and Background

Regardless of the mysterious origins of these Chinese Settlers, the Shuikuren are now respected traders and agricultural producers of the subsector, specializing in hard-to-find produce, from strawberries to mangos. As of 993, they are now branching out into the local information technology market.

The inhabitants of Shuiku follow a highly complex form of ancestral worship: while most strongly tied to folk religions of China, Vilani beliefs, Hinduism, and unique local developments all have a hand in its expression. Local astrology and mystical views on the elements (light, water, earth, air, void, heat) are as important as connecting with the ancestors- proper birth and burial rituals- proper food preparation and eating rituals- the fear of ghosts, and the love of luck. Perhaps one out of five on the planet are truly devout followers of this eclectic and nameless folk religion- three of five are partial believers- and one out of five ignore the religion except in desperate circumstances, or in family ceremonies when attendance is mandatory.
