List of crimes: Sitting on pou’s face: Death penalty Sitting in a bunch of moonflowers: Moonflowers give off a spiritual energy that is 1/10 of an orgasmic feeling. Sitting near where they grow will give you so much spiritual energy that there’s no saving you and you must be beheaded. Attempting to harvest moonflowers and/or their power: Death penalty Blasphemy: Same punishment as cowardice
The death penalty:
If a sinner is found guilty of not repenting and praying for the forgiveness of pou nakeed for their sins or praying every day of the week, their punishment will be sentenced to be judged by pou. When a person is given the death penalty, they are brought before the mouth of pou nakeed himself, all the way to the sacred lands north of the country. The person is brought to Pou’s mouth, and if the almighty Pou nakeed himself finds the person guilty of their sins and deserving of their fate, he will open his mouth and eat the sinner.
The seven sins of grim:
The seven sins of Grim are the sins set in place by the native people of Shu, who were said to have been able to hear the divine voice of pou nakeed, who gave them the commandments for the seven sins of Grim. Madness When a person sits by the moonflower orchids, which already commit two crimes, (sitting on pou’s face and being near the moonflower orchids without being a certified monk of pouism) they can go crazy. If a person sits near the moonflowers long enough, their mind can be distorted. (A reason why the pouism monks must learn to harness the power of the moonflowers). Madness is punishable by being sent to the sacred Grand Pou temple for a month with only water every 3 days and food every week, and every day (even after the month) for a year you will have to pray at the Grand Pou temple. Jealousy Jealousy can be committed if a person is jealous of the power that the almighty Pou Nakeed has or the blessings that others receive from Pou Committing Jealousy is punishable by being sent to the jungle by yourself for 7 days, with no given food or water. (find it yourself.) War War is in itself a crime, but committing this crime anywhere in Shu is a sin. While war is one of the sins of Grim, it can also lead to damage to divinity, since it can damage the divinity of Shu and the almighty Pou Nakeed. Committing war is punishable by death. Damage to divinity Damaging the divinity of pou nakeed and Shu can be soiling the sacred land or damaging one of the holy and sacred pou statues. (Village statues or household ones). Damage to divinity is punishable by manual labour; creating the amount of statues they damaged/destroyed 10x with no help or assistance. Cowardice Cowardice is a rare sin that people commit, but when they do it can disrupt the community as a whole. When a person commits cowardice, they are afraid of what the almighty could do to them. They are afraid that pou nakeed will harm them and curse their bloodline. Of course, Pou could never hurt a soul, (unless they have committed a crime.) Cowardice is punishable by sitting in a sacred pou temple for a week, and you are only given one water bottle and no food. This is to cleanse the soul and mind of cowardice. Greed Greed can be shown in many different ways, such as taking others' sacred statues of pou nakeed or harvesting all the moon flowers for yourself. Greed is punishable by 777 hours of manual labour. (9 months and 32 days) Betrayal Betrayal is the worst sin to commit out of the 7, which can be committed by betraying the almighty pou nakeed and turning to another religion. Turning your back on your religion is one of the worst things a person can do since Pou was the one to give life to the land of shu and produce everything for the people. Betrayal is punishable by death.
The Alyssa treatment/penalty: The Alyssa treatment is done in 3 steps but can vary depending on the severity. The first step is to ignore the person and laugh at their actions. The second step is to begin turning your back on them, spreading rumours and lies. The last step is a public execution in front of pou’s mouth. The executioners will rip out the person’s vocal cords right from their throat before tearing and ripping them up into pieces to feed to pou. Then they will gouge out their eyes so they can only see the divinity of pou before throwing them into his mouth.
The creatures of Jajhuan:
Jajhuan: The forbidden forest which is where the moonflowers grow and spirits wander. Legend says that the forbidden forest grew on top of the eyelids of pou and his tears for the sinners gave the moonflowers their powers.
Alyssa: A hideous, disgusting beast that has been outlawed from our land. Even if she takes one step on the island, it would be tarnished forever.
Anuc: An ancient creature who resides in the forest that may rival Pou's power. Legend says that hearing the singing of Anuc can cure either fatal diseases or revive loved ones. Only known by Pou and this sacred book; he is secretly the Temple's leader.
Oliver: He used to be a kind and gentle spirit, but after the British empire came… you’d be lucky to be alive if he saw you. Even if you manage to escape Oliver, a part of his soul will always follow you and his voice will always be stuck in your mind “I am getting loco…”. But, on rare occasions, if a person comes into contact with Oliver and doesn’t die at first sight, Oliver will try to fight with the person, saying all kinds of things on a range from “I’m sorry please forgive me” to “I will call you a ching chong Chingy lingy” The Oliver will also try to fight the person, shaking them until death or punching.
Ishaan: A small, wandering spirit that lives deep in the forbidden forest. They say if someone can make the spirit say even one word, they have eternal luck.
Jashna: A kind spirit capable of controlling the seas. It controls who enters and who leaves Shu and is also the reason why Shu has only been attacked once.
Lewin: A special spirit that keeps Alyssa away from our country and any local Dahoodians away. He’s only ever seen if Alyssa is around.
Nash: A broken spirit. He used to be a young spirit who wandered around Jajhuan and hung out with other spirits. Until people realised the spirit's hairline had receded, they bullied him for it endlessly. He had been bullied so much that the moonflower energy drained from his spirit body and became a dim spirit (Kinda like a branch from trolls) He now goes around, stealing the voice of any foul-mouth human who dares step into the Jajhuan forest.
Taylor: Taylor is a perfect example of a corrupted creature. She used to be an average-looking creature until she was cursed (by herself) with type 5 diabetes. This was long before Pou had turned into the island we know now, so she was banished to the sea chained down to bedrock. Every 10 years she’ll fart away her negative energy (not all of it) and it will affect the people of Shu as the negative energy is so powerful Pou cannot absorb it. It is also said that one day the beast may rise to the surface and Splatoon dance the tectonic plates to crumbles; this is why the shu celebrate Kha–ya which is a celebration celebrated on May 12th. Kha–ya is a day when everyone throws at least one vegetable into the ocean to prevent Taylor from rising…
Big Girl Paula: She was chosen to eat a moonflower when she was younger by Anuc himself. And then suddenly, her singing and dancing (which was her passion) could heal the sick and injured.
Becoming a temple carer To become part of Pou’s holy temple, you must have: No relationship, men must be bald, women must have short hair, no tattoos except one of commitment to Pou on your back, you must be able to manage the power of the moonflower, wear brown robes and you have to pass a paper test and physical test to show your commitment. The paper test will be about Pou’s backstory. Physical test in the jungle to show you can use the resources Pou supplies you with. You must always say “nem nem nem” when you eat, and can only say “nuh” as a negative reply.
The 16 Sons:
It is prophesied that eventually another moon rock will fall into the forbidden forest and will split into 16 beings that will be equal to Pou in power and though equal to the Almighty the prophecy never told if these Sons would be good, or evil…
The 4 Towns
There are 4 towns in the land of Pou Nakeed and each is in charge of its own thing. On the East side there are 2 villages and on the west side there are 2 villages. One town is on the inside while the other town is on the coast (for both East and West side.) All towns live together in harmony and share resources with no conflict.
West side- Inner: The inner west side’s village is in charge of the spiritual gatherings, prayers and overall religious activities. Being born into this village means that you have a higher chance of becoming a temple carer and you have 2 choices: Learn the spiritual ways and become a temple carer or just a spiritual helper or help with ceremonies and do Pou related things. This village sets up most events to do with celebrating Pou, Especially the day Shutud was made and Kha-Ya. Town name: Leiders (Ley-iders) Population: 50
West side- Outer: The outer west side’s village is in charge of the military and materials. This village trains Shutud’s next warriors and makes necessities of Shutud life. Being born into this village you have a choice: Become a warrior or make things for Shutud. Craftsmen/women will make things that range from fruit baskets to swords to even houses or monuments. A high ranking warrior may serve the grand temple and lower ranking warriors will be spread throughout the villages to keep people in order. Town name: Krijers (Kree-jers) Population: 200
East side- Outer: The outer east side’s village is in charge of food. Mainly hunting, gathering and fishing. Being born into this village you have 3 choices. Being a hunter means you will have to kill wild animals and bring them back to your village, gatherers mean you will venture through forests to collect fruit and vegetables (this also includes being a farmer) or lastly you could be a fisher, this means you will go fishing on fish boats around the beach of Shutud. All food here will be spread across the village fairly. Town name: Verzamelaars (Ver-za-mel-ares) Population: 263
East side- Inner: The inner east side’s village is in charge of clothing. This may not seem much compared to the other villages but Pou actually favours this village as he wants the people living in him to be stylish. All materials are woven themselves by their sheep farms and cotton fields. If any village needs clothes, shoes, hats or whatever they will write a list with their name and house address for this village to make. Once the clothing for the weekly requests are done, a few people will be sent to deliver all the clothes. In this village you can make clothes or deliver things for people. Town name: Het duurt lang (Het, dirt, lang) Population: 264
Story of Pou Nakeed:
Long, long ago, a speck of moon rock fell from the heavens and the shuut people had gathered around it. It radiated a godly presence which caused the shuut people to take in the young god. Every day he would be fed 1 enormous meal and after the 7777th meal he had become so huge he could barely see the land below; so huge that he collapsed on his back and formed what we know as today’s, modern shu. As a thank you, the land, on which the moon rock turns into, was prosperous with flora and fauna. Rich people get a statue of the Pou god and the less fortunate people get a natural triangle-shaped rock that can be found on the coast of the island. There are different towns and every town has a big statue of Pou. Every Sunday, people gather near the statue and pray weekly. People who don't go have to pray every day for a week; “Asha, pou… Asha, pou nakeed ya bala awa ka-naya-to swa va (Translates to “Oh Pou… Oh, Pou Nakeed, save and cleanse thy of sin.”) The shuut people repeat that phrase 7 times; each time representing a different sin (The Seven Sins of Grim), (Madness), (Jealousy), (War), (Damage to divinity), (Cowardice), (Greed) and the worst of all… (Betrayal). Almost all households keep a rock or rock statue outside of their house; the idea is that every day you offer food to the statue and the more food offered the more moss grows on the statue, representing the protection and holiness given by Pou.
Thousands of years of sins made by the Shuut people will all be collected by Pou and every thousand years, he will open his eyes a bit, open his mouth and say… “Nuh, all those sins will be blasted out his mouth and into the atmosphere.
