The Birth of Naroe ~{(!-!)}~

The Cult of Mahakalia

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.

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.

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.

Ma’Ma Sloza Brogdulg

Ma’Ma Sloza is the leader of the Cult. At the age of 60; she has led the cult for over 40 years. She is rather wise, and her people always come to her for support and advice. Sloza thinks off the Cult members as her children...her family.
She is known to be as the mastermind behind the making of the cult, and the gathering off her kind to partake in it. She takes Pride in the Cult and in being a worthy leader.

Glasza Crockub

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.

@Pripovednik Alright thanks :) I'll most likely post it up sometime tomorrow.

The Birth of Naroe ~{(!-!)}~

Did you want 'twists' for both the leader and the sub-leader? as I can only think of an interesting twist for the younger of the two leaders.

The Birth of Naroe ~{(!-!)}~

@Pripovednik This looks interesting. I'll start when I can :)

The Birth of Naroe ~{(!-!)}~

@Pripovednik *raises hands up* I didn't use google...I am just hiding from you and your threats.

Sure, another assignment sounds fun :)

Krazohra White:

50 Years Old *Looks like she’s in her late 20’s/early 30’s* ~ Human Mage

Arcane Magic

Adept Magic in darker magic (Necromancy~contacting the dead is one of the few tricks that she learned along the way, when dabbling in darker arts of magic)
Master of the four elements (Fire, Air, Water and Earth used in combination, most skilled in just using Water on it’s own)

She is studying the books of “Dark Arts and Mage Magiks on their Deeper Concerns of Corruption and how to Control the need and desires to use the Magiks more often than required.”

Her companion

Is a young Shape Shifter that posses as her familiar (a Black cat). His name is Salvador, he is rather strong, but lacks basic intellectual abilities. Therefore, he does not make a good conversation, and is a boring company. But she is too nice and compassionate, to kick him out for the fear of being lonely and the fact that she rescued him from a Demonic entity. He bores Krazohra with his repetitive...slow and nuisance like sentences. Therefore, he mostly stays in his animal form, unless vital communication and or protection is needed.
Cat Form:
Human form:

Krazohra is a very intelligent human mage, she can sometimes be stubborn and won’t give up until she succeeds. People have described her as compassionate and a loving person.. She has spent her young years/to early adulthood studying witchcraft, and trying to perfect her secret abilities. Like any Mage, she ages slower due to the genetic coding and sequencing linked with the blood-line to the Wizards and Mages in her family.
She is not physically strong or fast, which sometimes makes her an easy target to seek out. She only has her Arcane gifts to protect herself with.
Krazohra has never had any luck when it comes to romance; she has gotten hurt and burned too many times. When she was 18 years old, she was Engaged to a young warrior that came from her village; However the day before their wedding she found him in bed with another woman. After that it seemed like heart-break and misery just followed her, never learning from her mistakes she got her heart broken 4 more times (One was a premature death of her husband).
After the death off the one man that stuck by her side and didn’t leave her for another. Krazohra turned to darker magic to try and ease away the pain. It became her only escape and a way to try and forget her past and all the bad things that came along with it.
She lives in the Marshes, allowing her all the privacy and seclusion from civilization she needs. Her home is protected by magic. Crocodiles, Snakes and Orcs can also be found wandering/living near her domain.
