As such, they tend to look for that balance or one aspect or another in those who they interact with. More vocal members of the religion may even tell those they interact with who their opinion of their balance of aspects.
Divine Origins
The mythology of the religion seems to be based on the concept of parental relationships and how important they are to the both the creation of beings and their fundimental understanding of the world. As 3- The Empress and 4- The Emperor represent the two major aspects that are opposed but nessarry for a balanced life, the religion focuses on them as a pair, where opposites attract. Gender is tied into the aspects of these to of The Fates, but that concept is not strongly held execpt by the most extreme sects of the religion.
Cosmological Views
The Family of the Bound do not concern themselves with the creation of the world more than they are concerned about the balance required by civilization of authority and nurturing. They beleive that society needs a balance of these two aspects in order to maintain order, and an imbalance of these two things is what causes wars and conflicts. For example, they are of a strong belief that the Wyverian Empire is in the throws of having far too much influence of the 4- The Emperor, causing their negative infleunce to shine through.
