History
In -700 CY, when the Kingdom of Sulm fell, Geshtai turned all those who prayed to her into the first asherati, and became their patron. Should one of them worship another god, they crumble to sand.
Dogma
Tranquility is a benign state, and it should take an extreme act to disrupt it for more than a moment. When such a disruption comes, turn its force back upon itself to negate it, like the stone that breaks the surface of a lake only to be covered and lost. Water, like tranquility, is hard to find but necessary for vitality. Water is more precious than gold, for a thirsty man gets no sustenance from his wealth.
