Rakism

Origination
Rakism is the religion of Uruk and practiced by both the Urs and the Mors. Rakism dates back to when the Urs and Mors were inhuman creatures.

Heralds of the Blood
Long ago, when the Elder Ones came forth from the cold, black stone, they had but a singular purpose that had shaped them. The purpose was to seek out essence and incorporate it into themselves. When the first humans arrived on the shores of Uruk, they were met with horrific and bestial creatures that didn't even appear to be of this world. These monsters quickly devoured the humans, and incorporated their essence into themselves. After many long years of processing this essence, the Urs arose from the monstrous forms that preceded them.

The Urs slowly formed Rakism as a religious representation of The Purpose, a way to vindicate their constant craving and hunger. For it was in their being to devour and incorporate the essence of other creatures...

The Downfall and Rise of Rakism
Over the millennia of Uruk's existence, the Urs and Mors continued to follow The Purpose, but they didn't know why or for what. Rakism had been phased out as technology grew. And large swaths of pits were filled with the corpses of their enemies, sulfur, and waste to create black powder. With the explosive powder in hand, the Urs and Mors were better abler to launch their spears into the hides of the monstrous sea-beasts that prowled the depths. They could devote their entire society to hunting, and even though Rakism was centered around a justification for the hunt, it was phased out as the Urs had more to do and less to say.

A return to the other world, and meeting the creatures that dwelt upon it in the modern era, prompted a return of Rakism. It was Admiral Daig who became the first High Priest of Rakism and resumed the teachings of The Purpose from a religious standpoint. But this time with references to a high incorporeal power... One that dwelt deep within The Eternal Lighthouse.
