Jimbasi

Jimbasi is the first of the twin children of Ayrus and Vael Nhor.

It is the noblest of all deities and is known as the Brave Marshal, the Patron of Goodness, and the Ruler of Values. It is the lord of justice and nobility, the valiant guide of all leaders, land rulers, and knights.
Baobab, eagles, and gold are sacred to it and are required in sacrifices and ceremonies. Its priests are required to wear gold robes with decorations primarily in white and then red. They are well-trained in combat with Dàdāo, which is considered by most to be the symbolic weapon of every ruler, as well as in all the weapons that a good fighter may need.

Jimbasi is the patron deity of all actions of courage. It presides over all those feelings that urge creatures to perform heroic gestures to help those in need, even at the risk of their own safety. But most of all, it is considered the deity of nobility, understood both as high-mindedness and as a noble title. Not by chance, Jimbasi expects its faithful to uphold the highest ideals of wisdom, reason, and purity, adhere to the values of chivalry and justice, and protect their lands as if they were their own home, loving and respecting them as their spouse.
According to Jimbasi's precepts, only those who, driven by courage, shun the fear of death and pain to rush to help the weakest and defenseless, can call themselves noble at heart. Jimbasi disowns and curses all those noblemen and rulers who allow themselves to be corrupted by power. Only those who dedicate their lives and duties to those in need, manage their lands according to wisdom, and are guided by courage and right thinking, can truly define themselves as noble. The one who obtains a noble title by inheritance is lucky, the one who obtains it by election is tenacious, but only those who are guided by courage and right thinking are truly noble, even if they have nothing.

When the noble lord of Elysium shows itself, it appears as a mighty and athletic anthropomorphic shishi (or foo-lion), with long mustaches down to the chest, a thick white mane running down the entire back, and a very long tail. It has two large horns twisted on its head, and golden and bronze scales that cover the entire body.
