An important facet of Linglun faith, the Shenshou (神獸/Divine Beasts) are a quintet of beast deities. Considered middle deities, lower than the central gods yet higher than other deities, they are the guardians and divine governors of the continent of Marlakcor, and are also known as wardens of their spiritual direction and lords of a season. Each also represents one of the five elements in Wan culture; the exception is earth, which is instead represented by the Yellow Dragon, another great deity of Wan mythology. Along with the Wan, these deities are worshiped by the Genjin, Sinjok, Mưa Nhân and Arslan, but under different names.

Four of the divine beasts are individually dedicated in a separate temple in the Sisheng Chengshi around Marlakcor, while the fifth is represented in a temple in central-Zanghuan. There is also a main temple dedicated to all five located in the city of Shenling in Tianchao.

Huangdao[]

Marlakcor Zodiac symbol

Symbol of the Huangdao

The Huangdao (黃道), also called the Zodiac, is a facet of Linglun that worships twelve sacred animals in a sequence. This element of Wan culture and is observed almost equally with the rest of the religion. This facet of Wan faith is worshiped to a similar extent by the Sinjok, Arslan, Mưa Nhân and the Genjin, although those cultures have their own names for the the cycle.

This facet of Wan religion is governed from a temple complex known as the Huangdao de Hongwei Miaoyu (黃道帶的宏偉廟宇/Grand Temples of the Zodiac), which includes twelve main temples each dedicated to each animal and the Sheng Shi'er Simiao (聖十二寺廟/Sacred Twelve Temple), where the Huangdao are worshiped as a whole. Separate main temples, many smaller individual temples for each the twelve animals also exist all across Marlakcor, and a few have sprung up in the Cuicao Islands in Maritymir.

Linglun-jia believe that the members of the Huangdao take turns overseeing the cosmos in the name of the Yu Huangdi each year in a 12-year cycle, and thus each year is named for that particular animal: the months of the Luan calendar are named for each animal as well.
