One of two groups of high deities called the Divine Beasts, the Divine Beasts of Tianxia (Tianxia is a local name for Marlakcor) are a quartet of animal deities worshiped in Marlakcor, and to a similar extent by the Genjin of Fuso. Believed to be higher deities than the gods, and 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 Miao culture; the exception is earth, which is instead represented by the Yellow Dragon, another great deity of Miao mythology. Along with the Miao, these deities are worshiped by the Genjin and Seomin, but under different names.

Given that they are called immortals, many Miao philosophers debate whether they passed form the world or still exist while in hiding.

Miao Zodiac

Marlakcor Zodiac symbol

Symbol of the Miao Zodiac

The Miao Zodiac is the worship of twelve animals in a sequence. This faith is an element of Miao culture and is observed where it is dominant, including Huaxia (Tianchao & Dongbalian) and related countries.

This branch of Miao religion is governed from the main temple known as the Grand Temple of the Zodiac, but each animal has a separate main temple from which all smaller temples to the same animal are governed. Many Temples for each animal exist all across Marlakcor, and a few have sprung up in Long Qundao in Maritymir. This part of Miao faith is worshiped to a minor extent in Goryeo, and the Genjin of Fuso and Yamatai's possessions in Marlakcor, also follow the Zodiac to some degree.

Followers believe that the members of the Zodiac 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 Miao calendar are named for each animal as well.

Jingshen Xiaoxi & Minzhong Qingfu

Miao Yin Yang symbol

Symbol of Jingshen Xiaoxi & Minzhong Qingfu

Jingshen Xiaoxi (精神小溪) & Minzhong Qingren (民众情夫) are a pair of dragon deities who are the Miao venerations of Tallulah Michael and Xyliana Lucifer, figures of Septifidelity, respectively. They are viewed as the personification the concept of yin and yang, that everyone has of good and evil within them.

They are described as a pair of twin sister dragons born from the same egg. Jingshen Xiaoxi is described as a blue-scaled dragon with feathered wings, while Minzhong Qingfu is described as a red-scaled dragon with normal dragon wings.

They are especially popular in Dongbalian, who use their symbol as their coat of arms.

Xiangrikui Gongchen

Xiangrikui Gongchen (向日葵功臣): styled Shenxian (神仙), was the first lunaculus of Marlakcor. He is viewed in Miao faith as a representation of heroism and new beginnings.

Descendant Claimants

Many people and families claim descent from Xiangrikui Gongchen. This is partially because popular legend says that Xiangrikui Gongchen had at least a hundred children via numerous wives and lovers.

The founders of six different dynasties of Tianchao, one preimperial dynasty and five imperial dynasties, several imperial consorts, and several other great historical Miao figures, all claimed descent from him. Many of these lineages have branched out into various walks of life over the millennia while others have gone extinct. Whether or not these people were really distant progeny of Xiangrikui Gongchen is anyone's guess, but he remains a revered figure in Miao history, mythology and folklore, and his alleged descendants in turn.

She is even more famously known for aiding Huangdi Rao in instigating reforms that aided many impoverished people in regaining their foothold in life in the wake of a recent famine, as well as fostering trade relations with the surrounding nations of the time, which kept the Zhai dynasty's golden age going strong.

Wei Diao (為掉): styled Miyao (密鑰), her second son by Huangdi Rao, favored by his father, succeeded Huangdi Rao to the throne upon the death of the latter, and was posthumously known as Huangdi Qingsong (斎輕鬆帝).
