lus, we've got the Returned-including the First Returned, Vo. He had the Five Visions before he died, and they must have come from somewhere. She loved the teachings of the Five Visions. Humility. Sacrifice. Seeing another's problems before your own.
Austre regards all people equally. But if you reject us because of our sins, aren't you acting ostentatious Austre gave all men talents. Flaunting them was seen as arrogance. They let you see the surface of the land as it extends upward, toward Austre's domain in the sky.

Austrism considers Breaths to be intimately linked to the human souls.
