Faith of Khraxxara
The faith of Khraxxara is almost not a faith, in any real sense of the world. Their god does not communicate, save in rare cases, such as during a storm of souls. Instead, their god is a mere reservoir of strength and power that clerics can call upon for their prayers. Yet despite that, and there being no firm doctrine, Khraxxara is known to remove its power from unworthy clerics.
Khraxxara finds it easier to find peace amongst the chaos of battle, raging storms, and other terrible sounds. As such, bersekers, barbarians and other warriors will call upon it. There is no judgement from this god, no moral compass, only what must be done to survive. The faith of Khraxxara likes to gather in large groups of servants, and move throughout the world in Shoals, often united in strange twists of a native tongue. Their ultimate goal is for all of Torthe to be united in one great Shoal, at the End of Days, when finally Khraxxara will speak once more, and all souls will leave through alien gates, to soar amongst the galactic shoals for an eternity.
Khraxxara worshippers have a deep respect for Ulantarr’s followers, as they also do for those who follow Nefferlasta, and although they are the strangest of bedfellows, there are times, usually in great revolutions that change or overthrow dynasties, where the Triad of Broken Bonds are called upon. Nefferlasta, who hates slavery, Ulantarr who stands against abuse of trust, and Khraxxara who – knowingly or not – represents a new way of life and fresh beginnings, all three united are signs of an epoch or dynasty ending.
The main aims of the faith of Khraxxara though, is to collect souls, as grim as that sounds. Given there is little to no unifying morality other than that directive, some will sacrifice hundreds to their god, others will bring comfort to dying and welcome their soul to the Stormthing. As such, its clergy are feared and mistrusted, though one can never be sure what sort of character they possess.
Tenets of Faith
- Move always, seeking the comfort of the Shoals;
- When there is a storm, stand amongst its centre, and speak with our God;
- Bring souls to Khraxxara, if you are lucky, you will give the final one it needs to speak once more.
Priesthood
There are no ranks within the faith of Khraxxara, all instruction is given through fragments of history and lore, understood individually, and through the gathered Shoals.
There are no unifying symbols, but many will bear lightning rods on staves, to bring the storm to centre about them so they can speak with their Divine.
