This island accepts all creatures and races as it was designed to fit many lifestyles. During your stay on Seiu, you will be able to experience very bright and lively pageants, parades and festivals as they run few to several every few months.
Customs Wai: Wai, is a way of greetings and saying 'goodbye' respectfully. You bring your hands together in a prayer gesture and give a slight bow or nod of the head while saying hello or goodbye. You should also acknowledge the oldest people in the room when you arrive and leave, as this is a great sign of respect.
Guardians: This island prays to five guardians as each one resides within their own sector. They believe that praying to them before their wedding day will give them a successful life with their loved ones, but if bad weather appears on that day then they break it off, seeing it as a bad omen.
Each guardian is protected by a small village that is organized by the main city. The guardians are; Fukuro, an Owl-Bunny that symbolizes the Shinigamis' and wind, Kongu, a Panda-Monkey that symbolizes the Earth and nature around them, Akua, a tiger-serpent that represents water and protection, Shen, a peacock-fox that represents life and Beauty, and finally Ushi, the Ox-Dragon that represents Strength and fire. Each one has their own story and are prayed for respectfully with gifts that all islanders know to not touch once put down.
Judgement: Seiu runs by community voting at first who then run by the Five Leaders. The Shogun will be the last to vote and hears the situation before doing so. After then, will the person(s) then be punished or let go with strings attached that benefit either party. The punishments in Seiu are usually harsh, sometimes leading to death as true crimes in Seiu are not tolerated.
Superstitions: The island is filled with superstitions and tales of horror as some say spirits will haunt those who disrespect the dead and families who are guarded by the guardians. They say that the island is especially guarded by the Shinigami's themselves. So far, anyone who disrespected the area of death weren't seen again.
