\|[[Yalb]]{{book ref\|sa1\|8}} }} The primary tenet of the Passions is that wanting something ~~draws~~changes fate to draw it to you.{{wob ref\|3804}}{{book ref\|sa3.5\|8}} If you need money very badly, you will win when you gamble,{{book ref\|sa1\|8}} or if you strongly desire to visit a particular destination, you will get there even without a map.{{book ref\|sa3\|43}} In a sense, passionate people make their own [[fortune\|luck]].{{wob ref\|3804}}{{book ref\|sa3.5\|8}} The Passions do not have a formal theology, yet some people treat them as a religion instead of a philosophy.{{wob ref\|3804}} Belief in the Passions is reinforced by the existence of [[spren]] on Roshar,{{wob ref\|3804}} which often appear in response to emotions. Both good and bad Omens are a common feature of the Passions and can have an enormous effect on the morale of Thaylen sailors. An encounter with a [[santhid]] at sea is considered the best omen one could have,{{book ref\|sa3.5\|8}} whereas the death of a ship's pet{{book ref\|sa3.5\|4}} or food that goes rotten too quickly{{book ref\|sa3.5\|6}} might be seen as bad omens. Omens are believed to manifest as a result of the emotions of those who witness them. Someone feeling a dread Passion may have bad dreams full of premonitions at night, and witness omens during the day.{{book ref\|sa3.5\|6}} The traditional way to disperse a bad omen is to derive a good turn from it, thus proving that fate is on your side. If you can win the internal struggle to be optimistic instead of gloomy, that will reflect in the world around you.{{book ref\|sa3.5\|6}} Although Thaylen lore holds that the most Passionate among them could reopen the "portal of worlds" (possibly referring to an [[Oathgate]]),{{book ref\|sa3\|12}} the Passions do not actually have any inherent magical component.{{wob ref\|4301}}▼ ▲Although ~~Thaylen~~Thaylens may speak of "Dark Soulcasting",{{book ref\|sa3.5\|5}} and lore holds that the most Passionate among them could reopen the "portal of worlds" (possibly referring to an [[Oathgate]]),{{book ref\|sa3\|12}} the Passions do not actually have any inherent magical component.{{wob ref\|4301}} ===Relationship to Shards=== Although Thaylenah is not considered a "[[Vorin]] kingdom",{{book ref\|sa1\|8}} Vorinism is culturally dominant{{book ref\|sa1\|i\|4}} and there is an outpost of Vorin leadership located there.{{book ref\|sa3\|50}} Thaylens are therefore nominally Vorin, but many prominent Thaylens (including [[Yalb]],{{book ref\|sa1\|8}} [[Yokska]],{{book ref\|sa3\|62}} and [[Vstim]]{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|3}}) also follow the Passions. Queen [[Fen]] and her husband [[Kmakl]] both make reference to the Passions,{{book ref\|sa3\|12}}{{book ref\|sa3\|118}} and [[Febrth]] continues to follow the Passions even after joining the [[Diagram (group)\|Diagram]].{{book ref\|sa3\|43}} [[Rysn]] expresses some skepticism about the Passions, although they seem to be culturally ingrained in her.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|3}} [[Hobber]] also follows the Passions,{{book ref\|sa3\|35}} although his ethnicity is not known. Fen tells [[Dalinar Kholin]] that ~~some~~as a result of ~~the~~his ~~events~~heresy, ~~surrounding~~some ~~the~~of ~~[[True~~her ~~Desolation]]~~people ~~have~~are ~~caused~~calling ~~her~~for ~~people~~Thaylenah to ~~consider abandoning~~abandon Vorinism altogether in favor of the Passions.{{book ref\|sa3\|107}} However, the return of the [[Voidbringers]], whose culture and practice bear similarity to the Passions, has resulted in its falling further out of favor.{{book ref\|sa3.5\|4}} == Perception ==
