Religion: Grrorg'n Belief Systems

Grrorg’n Belief Systems

Oneism

The ancient Grrorg’n religion is a misnomer in many ways: as the race is roughly 250 years old, even the oldest Grrorg’n beliefs are younger than human ones. Still, the Grrorg’n developed a basic belief system independent of the human one.

When the Great Barrier came down, a significant number of Grrorg’n converted to Oneism (more by far than any other race) and more are converting all the time. In fact, even among the Grrorg’n, the old beliefs are considered somewhat barbaric (though there are those who feel the conversion to Oneism is race betrayal. There are very few adherents to this belief).

Among those Grrorg’n who have converted, there is nevertheless an emphasis on Gor, the dog-spirit. Although Oneism teaches that all the characters in the Book are in fact one, the Grrorg’n generally tend to admire the “Gorish” element of One.

Idolatry

The ancient Grrorg’n religion was firmly steeped in idolatry, and then, not to a particular single image. The Grrorg’n had dozens and dozens of idols, and piety was generally connected to the amount and, to a lesser degree, quality of idols in one’s possession. Even among those Grrorg’n who have converted, a strong tendency towards idolatry still exists.
