Chakrana is the general term used for the polytheistic customs and practices on the continent of D'Runia used prior to the arrival of religions from elsewhere. In one sense, Chakrana is a mere 400 years old, dating back to a codification in the middle years of Huilcasonco's empire; in another, it is 22,000 years old, dating back to the first religious beliefs on the continent.
Key to Chakrana beliefs are two different, and sometimes diametrically opposed, principles. The first is that of ayni, representing a sense of "collective reciprocity"; the world is interconnected, and all things one does creates an exchange of energy between oneself and the universe. Sometimes the balance is in one's favour, sometimes it is not, but all things are returned. One must therefore work, and love, and learn, and live. But this may not be easy without guidance. This is where the second principle comes in: kama, "noble action", the path shown to one by one's god that teaches how one might best work, and love, and learn, and live, in order to ensure ayni flows truly.
To a Chakranaq, kama may well change depending on culture, but ayni is universal. What goes around must come around.
Etymology
Chakrana in the Remana language of Chaska means "tool for inheritance"—a physical means of passing on information from one generation to the next.
