UGRUK RELIGION

Cultural event

Few peoples are as strongly believers as the Ugruk Orcs. Religion permeates the everyday life of these people, especially the unshakable faith in Gharuk is reflected in a series of habits that we could define as superstitious, for example a very faithful Ugruk will never put out a fire. This ugly superstition has been the cause of many misfortunes and has been made clear several times by the priests of Gharuk themselves that putting out a fire is not an insult to the deity.
Another curious belief is that sprinkling one's body with ash cures one's illness; without the intervention of a Gharuk cleric to perform the correct rituals and cast the spells, the ash itself has no healing power.
It is interesting to note that in recent years a new cult (defined as heretical by many of the Ugruk) is taking hold: the Cult of Iron. Practiced mostly by young warriors, the Cult of Iron believes that strength in combat and violence are the true basis of Gharuk's teachings; the faithful who follow this path often give in to anger and violence, armed and covered in metal armor from head to toe, they are considered a public danger.
