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].

Guru Angad

'Death would not be called bad, O people, if one knew how to truly die.'

The founder of our faith has passed away. Guru Nanak's body is dead, but the spirit of the Guru lives on in his successor, Guru Angad. Angad was one of Nanak's most loyal followers and carries on his legacy in establishing the Sikh community, spreading the use of a new alphabet to promote education of the young.

Guru in [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.

His local disciples insist that this God is revealed through all religions, including [Root.Owner.Religion.GetName], and defends Nanak as simply revealing the truths in our own faith. However, there is no question that these teachings reject our rituals and traditions, making people stray from the true path of [Root.Owner.Religion.GetName].
