Laws and Policies:
The Order is divine. The Moon its avatar.
I Progress is a virtue.
II All people are as gears in a great machine, if even one is out of alignment or harmed, the whole could be stopped. Waste not.
III Ideas are like wrenches to an unknown bolt. If you throw them away without testing them, you might lose the right one, but the ones that turn out to be wrong should be put away.
IV Give to the Queen what is the Queen's, but give the gods and the Order its due. Respect the laws of women.
Fluff: A lot of the males of Kuu, living in the shadow matriarchal society, found themselves more and more taking the home roll. The prized mate of a hard working wife, who would give her strong daughters, and care for the home and hearth while she was away. This often bred seclusion and idleness, and more than a bit of longing for meaning. Sure, they were respected, and the expectations of them were clear. But still the question, why?
The answer came when Kuu discovered the first machines.
And it would so happen that this machine bore gears. Gears which brought such fascination to a great several men, taking interest in the orderly circles and orbits of them, every single tooth upon the wheel locking with a pair and complementing the whole. So simple, yet could be stared at for hours.
It was then that a male deacon of the Moon, spoke.
"These machines and the celestial heavens that surround the Moon Goddess are as one. It is a sign! Just as the Moon, the Sun, and stars of the heavens dance about the heaven in great orbits that never fail, so to these machines. This is the path to enlightenment!"
It was then that these men realized it. This was the purpose they had sought after all along, that justified and enforced their lot in life. That heavenly orbit that never falters now given form in these machines. This was the Divine Order, the unseen purpose and working of the Universe. To follow this Order and become one with it is the true meaning in life, and what the gods themselevs intended. Just as a single gear in these devices, so was man, serving a greater purpose than himself.
A new sect was then formed, The Temple of Geers, which values order, stability, and the progress of machines. Still loyal servants of the Queen of Kuu, they obey her laws and guidelines with vigor, seeing it as the path to achieving "The Order" and so becoming in tune with the universe. And so on the outskirts of Kuu, they built a great temple, dedicated to serving and promoting the Great Order, the purpose, the meaning of all things.

1. Start paying our Taxes to Kuu. Long live the Queen.
2. Begin building the great "Temple of Geers," whence we might pursue the order with honest hearts, pray to achieve it with mechanical discussion, and sing the songs of praise to the Moon and heavens. A place of both worship and innovation.
