Shanties of Freedom
"Hey lads, now I've got this notion
of the man that woke the ocean
He's singing and dancing on waves,
He mocked the mountain ranges
until they blew their tops in rages
And taught their fire how to misbehave.
He stole the wind's sweet susurrus
And all it had left was blusterous
It howled and chased the bastard all over.
He stole fire from the other gods
So why worship all those other clods
Come sing to the god of the clovers!"
~God of Clovers
History
The Primal Cult lacks a single holy text, but instead maintains hundreds of mutually contradictory collections of parables, paintings, sculptures and songs. Any attempt to codify or reconcile these texts is anathema to The Scoundrel's creed, which teaches that chaos should be embraced and material things have little importance or intrinsic value.
Every worshiper knows a random slurry of these songs, stories, or pictographs and dreams of adding to the pile. Things like canon, planning, and prophesy are openly mocked by Cultists with the idiom, "The best laid plans of gods and men."
Observance
Nearly half of all the shanties start as an idea while drunk.
