Old Dugarod (Orkish) Faith
Folk - Polytheism
The Old Dugarod faith is a polytheistic religion that is predominantly practiced by the Orkish tribes of the Dugarod region. The religion is centered around the worship of multiple deities, with each deity representing a specific aspect of life.
The deities of the Old Dugarod faith are believed to be powerful beings that are capable of both great benevolence and great wrath. The Orks believe that their fate is tied to the will of these deities and that they must always seek to appease them.
The Orkish people believe that their purpose in life is to serve the will of the deities and to ensure the survival of their tribe. They believe that by living a virtuous life and following the teachings of their religious leaders, they will be rewarded in the afterlife.
The clergy of the Old Dugarod faith are known as shamans. These individuals are responsible for interpreting the will of the deities and guiding the Orkish people in their worship. They also perform important religious ceremonies and rituals.
The Orkish people do not have formal places of worship. Instead, they perform their religious rites and ceremonies in the natural world, often in sacred groves or near important natural landmarks.
The Orkish people believe in the power of sacrifice and often offer up valuable objects or even animals as gifts to the deities. They also place great emphasis on ancestor worship, believing that their ancestors can intercede on their behalf with the deities. The Orks also practice divination and believe in the power of omens and signs.
The Old Dugarod faith has been practiced by the Orks of the Dugarod region for as long as they can remember. It is believed to have originated from a blend of animistic beliefs and the religious practices of neighboring cultures. Despite the many challenges the Orks have faced over the centuries, their faith has remained a constant source of strength and guidance.
