Numenism - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

"Sithis worship among the Orma is rooted in the abject misery of their forebears. Whereas the Saxhleel forsook permanence to live in cycles, the Orma never enjoyed monumental pyramids or abundance. Deadly fauna stalked the hills and the soil nearly barren.\n\nDeath became omnipresent to the blind folk, gradually beckoning its highest manifestation. When the tribe was afflicted with a terrible famine, Elect Hamayael revealed the Numen under the inspiration of Sithis. The $orma_cult_adj$ creed is as follows: 'Life flows into death as death waters life'. The invocations of the Prime Reaper ended their predicament and cemented their undying commitment to the Void.\n\nBy manipulating lifeforce, the theurgists make talented healers and farmers, albeit at the cost of life energy or 'animus'. 'Returning the animus' to the tribe is expected: failure to undergo posthumous theurgy equates to cessation of existence."
