The Sikh Faith

---

[Root.GetName] is situated on the border between adherents of Hinduism and Islam. In this area marked by religious tension and differences, a man named Nanak has started to preach that there is no Hindu or Muslim, but that the truth is with God, who is neither.

Although his rejection of ancient customs has outraged devoted [Root.Religion.GetName] believers, Nanak's disregard for caste and creed has allowed his teachings to take root among the population. His disciples are known as Sikhs and are spreading this new faith rapidly throughout [Root.GetName].

The following description is used before 1539:

A man who some call a guru has arrived in [Root.GetName]. He claims to have received a revelation, being called by Heaven to travel from his home to distant lands, spreading the message of the one true God.
