The Day begins with a morning ritual.

[TWO HARUSPICE IN RITUAL GARB]

 

For Ancestralists, an offering to the Ancestors is often a way to break one's spiritual fast. The morning continues with garnering an Ancestrals'  favor. They create their favorite meals and polish their old weapons. For the Spiritualists, a meditation within their aspects; Ankrus by the sea, Freygoth within the wild. 

 

Orcish Xionists begin with the inverse; rather than offering praise or humility the day begins with greed, feasting, dance and celebration of the mortal form.  To be mortal is to celebrate beauty and appreciate worldly strength. 

 

Those of the Blood Faith (GRIZHIZUBU) begin and excruciating ritual. A feat of strength so severe that it rips the skin, muscle and flesh of its participant. IF not strength, then constitution; whether brought on through poison, insomnia, or some other masochistic feat to show devotion to the GRIZHThe day continues with the Blood Faith, taking a pilgrimage to their monuments and places of pride. The “Moruhk” or Mantle is cleaned, and a task is brought forth to the Mantle. They train their body, or enriching the mind with blood.

[THE LINGERING REMNANTS OF DARK SHMANISM]

 

Xionists then spend their afternoon studying and arguing with their shamanic counterparts. In a world without the harrowing might of dark shamanism, they are forced to reclaim supremacy through other means. Recovering old artifacts, or creating new ones through the subversion of Shamanism and other magics. 

 

Spiritual Folk begin their own pilgrimage, spreading and teaching the good word of the spirits and bless those who join them in reverence.  

 

Ancestralists hold rituals for the Ancestors by commemorating their names. For Ancestralists, a practice of imitating or uplifting their fallen kin allows them to live on eternally. As haruspice, one may do this in dance or story. Lutaumans may travel to the Ancestral Realm bringing others in tow, or display their feats through their shamanic powers. It is the goal of Ancestralists to restore the presence of the fallen in invoking their stories, or reenacting their great feats.

[A MOURNING RITUAL PERFORMED AT DUSK]

The night often begins the start of new things. The blood faith, lutauman, and haruspice begin their lengthier and more secretive rituals. The night offers insight as it reveals the might of the Stargush’Stroh, as well as invokes the darker sensations of bloodlust and malice. The night draws out those darker and sacred things brought close to the mortal realm. 
 

Spiritualists end their days often around campfires or in meditation ceremonies. Some find the night a potent catalyst for powerful hexes and spells. It is rare for someone intertwined with the presence of spirits to sleep during the night time. Unless guided by Drelthok's hand, nights for the spiritual are either filled with shamanic rites or nightmares from rival spirits or unsavory entities. 

 

All are involved within the nature of the spirits. As the days go on, the ILZPAAK- the seasons change and the influence of the spirits does as well. It is crucial that all remain steadfast in their practices. The ebb and flow of the spiritual and non-spiritual folk paves the way toward moving mountains, or bringing about the end of days.

 

The spirits are respected and feared.
