Matremism

Matremism is a religion commonly considered by outsiders as a Cult, but it is in no way a malicious religious system. The main deity of Matrems is the All Mother, a being that created and cares for the entire world. The All Mother constantly requires sustenance from her followers in the form of animal sacrifices, however, some extreme Matrems believe that humanoid sacrifices are the only way to truly please her, but that belief is definitely not widespread among the religion. A special altar found within a Kajaak Hut is usually used to kill these sacrifices. Each clan or settlement also participates in a large weekly tribal dance each night of the last day of the week. This dance acts as a way to personally bond to The All Mother in the form of physical interactions. A couple of the precepts of Matremism include these:

• No hateful thoughts toward the All Mother are tolerated. this is considered a capital offense and will not be tolerated! You must continue to spread the influence of the All Mother to others and therefore tame the world

Mythology & Lore

The Creation Myth of Matremism goes like this:
The earth was a boundless yet wild place. The All Mother, the first woman, had a taming presence to everything around her. She began to tame the world, but she knew that she would soon have to recede into the Heavens, so she created the Finite races to continue what she had started: taming the wild and vast Wraith Globe.

Ethics

• Other Matrems are to be respected, as they are tamed ones like you. Shamans and other spiritual leaders are closer to the All Mother, and therefore higher than others. They are your authority and you must obey them no matter what!
