Secondly - wow! You obviously put a lot of thought into this, I really enjoyed reading it. The creation of the Bright One was super interesting, I like how much influence he had on the clan and their belief system. I do have a few questions though /pitchfork. I jest! No, just harmless questions.
One; I'm curious about how his clan feels about Zizimiru leaving to go see the world, will they disapprove?
Two; You said Zizimiru read up on the Twelve, although the clan doesn't follow them. In fact they seem pretty content in their own world (correct me if I'm wrong). Will the world have an influence on him?
Three; This one is less curious, more lore-based. Did the Bright One only come to the Yukok clan or does he sort of travel about? Would other neighboring clans have heard of the Bright One, did the Yukok talk about him/try to convert others or is he more of just a Yukok clan exclusive?
Those questions are more like "I'm curious and you left me wanting more" questions, so you don't have to answer them. Otherwise, I really like where your character is going C:
 Glad you enjoyed the read!1- It was expected for young men and women (especially the A's and B's of the group) to go out into the world for a few years. The clan was by no means xenophobic, in fact they "exported" their intellectuals who then would send back resources after writing books/acting as advisors/and so on. Zizi was bred for leadership, but was expected to be worldly and have certain connections with the three nations. Of course, none of this matters now after the Calamity.
2- Yes, they are pretty content in following The Bright One as a holy figure. That said, they didn't shun outside beliefs. They studied them, inspected them for their truths and adapted them into their beliefs. Studying the Twelve was expected, especially for A'ziz. I fully expect the world to have an influence on him, including the characters he comes across. Who knows maybe he will have an influence on them as well!
3- I envisioned The Bright One traveling about, and each people he came across were shaped by him in some way. Perhaps in Miqo'te folk lore he is a Keeper of the Moon not a Dunesfolk... maybe he is a she! I wont claim passed down stories as pure fact. Did he dig himself out from the sands of the desert... or maybe just arrived one day...? These things are just stories, not history. The Yukok would likely be known for their beliefs in The Bright One, perhaps others were converted... but Yukok themselves wouldn't have ever went out of their way to convert. Though I'd imagine they'd gladly take on those who wished to follow in the steps of The Bright One.
Thank you for the questions, I really don't mind clarifying things for you!
