Cult of the Wild

The Cult of the Wild is an ancient, polytheistic religion that is said to have roots traced back to countless millenia before the Shenshari Empire. It is currently practiced by the Cerekoi tribes of Cereko.

Beliefs and Practices
The religion is orchestrated and conducted by prophetic shamans and strictly forbids agriculture, science, and material wealth. It primarily focuses on the worship of three primordial gods: Shakar, god of war and justice, Sheelana, goddess of fertility and motherhood, and Onukaar, god of nature and creation. According to the cult's teachings, strength and fertility are highly regarded as gifts from the gods. Homosexuality is frowned upon, but not condemned. The cult has no concept of marriage and instead states that women are strictly required to take the roles of caretakers, healers, and breeders for the good of each tribe. Men are expected to be trained as warriors and assassins for the tribes of Cereko and are trained in martial arts under the cult's code of law.

Cosmology
The Cult of the Wild strictly promotes a flat, seven thousand year old earth shaped like a disc with the sun and moon orbiting around it. They claim that the stars are literally the eyes of a minor god of the sky named Bunoko, who is seen by the cult's followers as an all-knowing being.
