Something i think people need to know about beloks

Something i was thinking about, as i do,

But, beloks are kept, mostly, widely ignorant about their own religion. The reason being that obviously, if you keep people ignorant, and they truthfully believe that you are in direct contact with the gods they devout their lives to,

You can make them do whatever you want.

a simple species sheet for the beloks

Typical Belok bed.

They can a custom fine with a regular one if needed, but this is the type that they prefer, and is made in their communities.

This helps them allow and thrive with their nesting instincts.

On Oracle's relationships with their flock

The lucky chosen woman in charge of the oracle's clothes is revered among her peers. It is a solitary duty, however.

Where she can wash her family's clothing with her friends, she cannot do the same for the oracle's.

But her loneliness is to be filled by the joy of being chosen for such a solemn duty, to make the oracle's clothes whiter than snow, and their perfume as holy as the link between an oracle and our gods.

Most often than not, oracles do not wash their bodies with their flock. They can be assisted by their immediate family, however. An oracle's body is to be sanctified, and remained hidden at all times from what regular people will see.

Some decide against these traditions, and enjoy bathing with their flocks. These flocks are from the lucky few, where they can experience their oracle's body looking similar as theirs, reminding them about how even the holiest are still but mortal flesh, who will turn to ashes and be born again.

An oracle's life is… Solitary. Revered by most, considered as both judge and comfort, they rarely have anyone apart from the gods to talk about their sorrows. And they don't answer that often…

A prayer taught to little belok girls

This is a prayer that is taught very early to little belok girls,

It is recommended they pray with it everyday, and it is repeated in communion for different ceremonies. Firstly when they first get their blessed bleed.

Then when they get married,

And at each pregnancy.

Some families also ask for it to be prayed when doing the funeral for their loved women.

"We are the flower buds of our gods, our ancestors, We carry the seeds of the future, of the hope of better days, We take the oath of nurturing our younglings, We decide to follow Quella, in guiding our unions, We pray to Qinera, to bless us with fruitful loins, We ask of Phurra, to make our flowers shine, And of Qhamgyn, to let our loved ones live with us."
