Cult of Walker on the Heath
The Cult of Walker on the Heath is a relatively new religion first observed over 50 years ago in the Setha Heth. Its priests are the Mysterious Augurs. These strange mystics are skilled in assassination, poison, manipulation, and the manufacturer of narcotics. They dominate the Pagaelin Barbarian tribes with an ever-increasing iron grip.
Whatever their goals are is not clear; however, they typically act in a patient and methodical manner. The Elves of the Kingdom of Evael are concerned by their presence.
Many scholars believe the Walker may well be a manifestation of the God Naveh or one of his agents.
Mythology & Lore
Worship
New Moon Feast
At every new moon, the Augurs hold feasts attended by tribes under truce. These events include the sacrifice of animals, feasting, drug-use, and sometimes human sacrifice.
Akan-shri
During the feasts, sometimes a tribe's strongest warriors undertake the Akan-shri Ordeal, becoming a Raunir, a Drug addicted Berserker. Many do not survive the ceremonial Drug Use, which usually causes permanent brain injuries.
Priesthood
The priests are known as Augurs. These mysterious Men supply the Pagealin tribes with intoxicants, drugs, and poisons. Most tribesmen are now addicted and follow the decrees of the Augurs without question.
The Augurs usually dress in dark earth-colored robes with a half-skull mask when performing ceremonies with the Pagealin.
