The act of Misas is a traditional Sith gesture of reverence to their Left-Handed God, Typpjem. It is a gesture in which the worshipper simultaneously drops the head while raising an arm and the elbow in a gesture that has been noted by the less devoted to resemble “sneezing”.
To mistake the act of Misas for sneezing is in fact a heavy offense to those who still hold the blood of the great dark lords of the sith in their veins.
First, an explanation of the history of the gesture.
Hailing from the time of king Adas, the gesture is meant to represent complete reverence towards the creed of the Left-Handed God, Unholy Typhojem. Legends have it that the original Kissai priests who revered him in his hallowed halls would worship in turn by both prostrating themselves and then raising their arms up as if to elevate Him in their midst.
Over time, it is said that the seers of the Red Sith did receive a message from their unholy god- that they must both show complete submission to the dark side by kneeling and burying their head in their arms while at the same time raising their arms. This presented a logistical problem.
The ancient priests, in their unholy wisdom, did thus lock themselves within their cloisters and temples. Their God had given them what seemed to be an impossible task; a great crisis of faith occured amongst the ranks.
After three days and three nights of continuous contemplation, the priests had their answer.
The oldest, wisest, and proudest of them took his Unholy Crozier and used it to support him up his ascent up the tallest mountain of Ziost or wherever the Sith were at that point, the people gathering below to listen to his words.
“O,” said the High Priest, his very word seeming to be tinted red with the blood of our ancestors. (( colour this part red on the forums ))
The people were awestruck at his declaration.
“... O…” Said the high priest, his facial tendrils twitching along with his nose as Typhojem’s Unholy Word filled him.
The people listened, rapt with attention.
“O… oO-” The priest suddenly moved his head downwards, his face contorting as a mighty Exhale Of Unholiness left him.
The people followed his gesture. Each of them solemnly dropped their heads down and raised their elbows up, an arm raising into the sky in a wave that built from the mountain.
It is said that for forty days and forty nights afterwards, blackened unholy lightning clashed upon the peaks of the mountain, heralding the approval of their great god. Those who suggested it was a sneeze were executed soon after.
The gesture remains within Sith culture to this day, and nobody ever questioned it ever. The end.
