Religion Goktengri

• Paths: Rage
• Patron of: samurai

Goktengri -- ancient deity of martial honor. Since time immemorial, long before the Third Epoch and the arrival of the new gods, followers of the Goktengri cult -- warriors and nomads -- believed that above all else a fighter needs not combat skill but martial honor and discipline. Over millennia the influence of this cult spread far to the east, where its philosophy resonated with the caste of samurai. Goktengri has no form or image and cannot be depicted, so followers believe it is the infinite blue sky above our heads itself, accompanying us throughout life -- as does our honor.

• Paths: Fury
• Gifts: while you wear Goktengri's mark, the sky strengthens your health and your resistance to magic, casters most of all. In a fair duel, one on one and with none of your group or pets nearby, it often lends you an extra blow. In any fight the mark sometimes strikes again and again
• Sacrifices: Goktengri likes when you sacrifice to him good weapons, enemy corpses, or gold

Nomads who follow the Goktengri cult prefer the grassy wastes of the northern plains.
