[h1]The Cult of Mahakalia[/h1]

They call themselves the Chosen one’s of Kalia. The cult is composed of only women orcs, aged from anywhere from newborns to women in their late 80’s.Their leader is roughly in her 60’s. They are a tightly knit group (almost as close like a family).  They travel around Naroe every Spring and Autumn; mostly living in the Forests or Marsh/Swamp areas of the realm. They are worshipers of  the Goddess of Blood Mahakalia, their cult receiving it’s name after the deity. They have Minor knowledge of the Goddess’ magic, and are still learning more about it.
Members who are under age, only get taught the ways of the cult being educated by the Two Leaders and the other members of the Orc Cult. This process takes about 6 years all together. From the age of 6-till they reach about 12 or 13 years old. After that the Females then can part-take in the rituals and traditions of the Cult; but will only partake in the sacrifice when they reach 16 years old. Anyone below that age, does not get offered for Sacrifice, unless they are born blind, deaf or disfigured in some way. 

[Hider=Traditions/Beliefs]
When a baby Orc is born, the newborn child is marked by the blood of it’s mother. It’s a sign of welcoming the baby to the cult and also of fore-told health. 
They share blood among the group. They believe that sharing blood is a sign of respect for each other, as well as respect for the Goddess Mahakalia. 
Sharing blood is also symbolic reference, of being the cycle of life and death. They believe, that blood is the essence of all living things. Blood is sacred and blessed in it’s own way, and special with the Goddess Mahakalia ruling over it. The Cult believes that the Goddess made blood ‘Sacred’ and that those who worship her, are worthy and special.
Every Blue moon or during the Summer Solstice, the Cult picks one member to be the sacrifice. Their blood is spilled, whilst the other Orcs chant the Goddess’ Name, in hopes that the Deity will accept the offering in death, and reward her for the good life that has been led. If the Female has not been truthful and a loyal worshipper, the Goddess will shun her in the after-life and the Female Orc will be re-born in poverty and off a lower specie in the next life.
They drink blood from animals, before cooking the meat.
The Cult think that any physically or mentally impaired female Orc, does not belong as one with the deity and in the heavens.  It goes against their belief of purity.[/hider]

[Hider=Weapons/Combat]
They mostly use hand made Axes and Knives from the scraps and resources  they find in the forest and swamp areas to make their weapons.
Some use a hand made Spear and bow and arrow when they hunt for their food. The Cult has three main hunters and two main gatherers for their food. The weapons come in handy, when it comes to hunting.
The Female Orc don’t specialize in much combat, besides hand to hand combat they were taught from a young age. Besides from weaponry. it provides them to the ability to defend themselves from danger and their enemies.[/hider]

Glasza is second in command behind Ma’Ma Sloza. She mostly helps educate the younger cult members and is the mastermind behind any and all cult beliefs and traditions that the Cult has. Out of the two leaders, Glasza is the more mysterious type; anyone who meets her is charmed by her kind spirit and her beauty. She is rumored to be the most beautiful of the female Orcs of the Cult.
No one knows that Glasza is the daughter of the Goddess Mahakalia. She was sent by her mother and the other Gods to watch over the cult, and help teach the devoted worshipers of her mother’s magic, abilities and help them reach the path to purity. [/hider]
