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

Redguard religion views their gods as heroes to imitate in order to reach the Far Shores and escape Satakal's eternal hunger. Chief among these gods is Ruptga, the Tall Papa, who invented the Walkabout - a process by which the gods can persist beyond one lifetime by "sidestepping" the cycle of destruction. While the true Walkabout is of little import to mortals, the gods are said to manifest through the greatest of Redguard heroes in history who best emulate them.

Over thousands of years in Tamriel, these Redguards have come to accept certain foreign gods, among these Arkay, Kynareth, and Zenithar, who both seemed familiar and proved their usefulness. Most others are however seen as "tobr'a" - useless - and therefore disregarded.
