=== Xaewoon Green ===

Xaewoon Green has a more complicated theology than Xaewoon Blue, with an extra emphasis on Eternal Companion and the search.

According to the green stron, Mamkoon is an actual physical location that one must reach within one's lifetime. The path is considered to be written in the skies therefore green stron followers study star patterns, and at times might be required to make complicated journeys, because their path on the sky turns out to be precarious on the terrain.

According to the green stron, Mamkoon is a physical location that one must reach within one's lifetime. The path is considered to be written in the skies, therefore green stron followers study star patterns and at times might be required to make complicated journeys, because their path is set on the sky map, without much regard to the terrain one must actually traverse.

Within this stron there is a division into light green and dark green. Dark green believers consider Mamkoon to be personal and would search for a location that is specific for their personal religious journey, which makes the dark green interpretation very close to the blue stron, if not in form, then in spirit.

Light green adherents, on the other hand, believe that Mamkoon is a single physical location for everyone, a location that all true believers should travel to. There are many caveats, and simply knowing the location is not enough. One must instead be able to go on a mission and find one's own path to Mamkoon, which in many cases means that a person is actually not allowed to travel to the location believed to be the Mamkoon, let alone settle there, until their religious path is fulfilled.

Which physical location is the Mamkoon is a matter of active disagreement. The disagreement is largely non-violent and is positioned as part of what it means to practice Xaewoon.

 

One school of thought claims that Mamkoon's location is known to some Ienana, but cannot be revealed until one reaches a certain point in their path. Another approach is to consider Mamkoon's location to be a matter of the search of Xaewoon believers as a whole. This interpretation incurs stricter rules on believers, as a failure to follow one's path becomes everyone's problem.

Cangon, the skycat, is completely missing from Xaewoon Green. Instead, the light green interpretation introduces the Great Hornet. Initially simply a replacement for Cangon that would not interfere in the lives of the mortals, it eventually evolved into the helper of mortals, a prophet figure who will lead believers to Mamkoon. Sometimes, such a visionary is referred to as a "Kasanja",  the “prophet of far away lands”. This theology fueled a number of nomadic kingdoms in Tarnaria, such as the [[Kareden]] and the [[Overpol Expanse]].

Sometimes, such a visionary is referred to as a "Kasanja",  the “prophet of far away lands”. This theology fueled a number of nomadic kingdoms in Tarnaria, such as the [[Kareden]] and the [[Overpol Expanse]]. Numerous religious leaders claim one or the other location to be the homeland.

Throughout history light green has proven to be a more violent version of the faith. Unlike Xaewoon Blue, Xaewoon Green has a specific term for true believers, Trenonoh or Trenona, which means "people of the path". Light green devotees were the majority during the second revolution, but with the turn of the third revolution the dynamics began to change, and today dark green constitutes the majority, making the religion a bit more tolerant.
