Chapter V
Hounúd & Guílle
A man in the sky — always depicted as male — created the entire world. He sent his son to die. The son, Jesse, was executed as a traitor by the Frappian Empire. Jesse is now the most common name in both kingdoms. Led by an Archbishop, served by bishops. The holy text is simply called The Book. Private ownership is forbidden.
Kabáz Caliphate
Centered on the Kabáz Idol who united the nomadic tribes into the Caliphate roughly 250 years ago. His name is recorded but currently lost to memory. Reputed to have single-handedly stopped a war, conducted a peaceful conquest, and sacrificed himself for his people. The exact circumstances of his death remain unknown and contradictory.
Nørgar
The Nørgar reject gods or divine creators. They believe the world is simply a large rock — not flat, as most other cultures assume. This belief is regarded as foolish and absurd by the other factions, though the Nørgar remain unmoved.
Axe Islands
The Súo worship in stone temples dedicated to stone idols. The idols often depict animals with human features. Worship appears to vary by region and statue, with no single unified deity.
No single faith
As a neutral trading hub attracting merchants from all over Griba and beyond, Chírí hosts a wide mix of beliefs. Worshippers of many gods — and those who worship none — can be found among its transient population.
Generally Disbelieved
Magic is widely dismissed across Griba as mummery and trickery. The sole exception is the Súo: unconfirmed rumours claim they practise blood curses, dark rituals to extend their lives, and child sacrifice to alter the course of the future.
