Instead, they follow a Spritualist doctrine called the Kahlto - the Wheel of Existence - that states that peace and peaceful non-resistance will ensure the development of the soul and allow it to transcend their physical forms and eventually become one with the universe around them. | [[File:MizarianReligiousRelic1.png|150px|thumb|left|<small>''Image 1:The Eleventh Primer''</small>]] The Mizarians do not consider themselves 'religious', and do not have any deities they worship.

The writings of the Kahlto are endless, reprinted and rephrased continuously for centuries, but always kept as close to the original writings - also known as the 'Lost Scriptures' - as possible.

Symbolism isn't a widely applied concept in Mizarian texts and scripture, and thusly, they don't have many symbols representing the Wheel. The oldest known symbol to denote the belief in the Kahlto is quite simply the Mizarian letter of ''Kahl''. When seen on iconography, art or constructs, another alternative is to depict the letter within a Wheel with a line going straight through. The inner circle represents Mizabet - the Home of the People - while the straight line (as narrow as possible for the artist's skills) show the strictness of the Kahlto Tenets. The outer circle itself is the Wheel, the Mizarian concept of 'fate' and the final resting place of the balanced soul. | |||
