Kaenotaino/Bincao is the most common religion at 43% believing in it in some form, and a further 7% of Aiyoti citizens being devout followers. (25% of Aiyotis believe in another east serkr religion, 5% in a De'lafflele religion and the rest agnostic/atheist) Although these results may be a bit skewed as some "followers" of Kaenotaino/Bincao do literally nothing related to it.

Sātta, Sûtti, Sette & how Aiyoti culture and Kaenotaino/Bincao fit together

Aiyoti culture has no strong structure of gender, however the following properties are generally desired in both Aiyoti men and women:

  • Soft, Even Skin (or occasionally "scattered" skin patterns see: Kástsavami People )
  • Little body hair
  • Often long hair
  • Elaborate braids
  • Bushy eyebrows
  • Beautiful and Intricate Settē

The Sātta/Sûtti/Sette is a veil worn by Males/Females/Netral (respectively), they generally consist of two "halves", one covering the forehead but not the eyebrows, and one covering the mouth & nose. In modern times many people prefer to wear only one half of their Sette.

Traditionally an individual will customly design their own Settē on a Sēttasto, then taking the design to a Settēne, who will then produce it on fabric. Many will design it around their personality (generally warm colours = more extroverted, cold colours = more introverted, green = ambivert), they will also have Aiyoti Satúla writing written on their Settē.

Settē have a wide range of patterns and colours but generally the following are the most common:

Kessettē (lit. "Fire Settē") Style:

Red with gold/orange patterns Orange with golden patterns Red, with golden lines, orange filling and white decoration

Settēlo (lit. "Settē Water")

Blues, Purples, Indigos, Violet with white decorations, silver linings, darker shades filling.

Meśettē (lit. "Tree Settē")

Dark Greens with light green outlines, cyan filling, white decorations. Occasionally orange and/or blue is thrown in the mixture.

Mavesettē (Lit. "Moon Settē")

White and grays. Sometimes flecks of color (commonly violet). Rarer.
