[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2124543, member: 13966"] Contribution: The distant hordelands of O'hoa'ti'neumas are swarming with the O'hoa'ti tribes, human barbarians dedicated to lives of chaotic hedonism and violence, ruled by their bloodpriests and the supposed gods they serve. Bloodpriests range from scheming bloodmagi to rampaging bloodspell zealots, and they claim to serve the will of the Hungry Gods from the Burning Heart in Sky's Jealous Embrace, apparently sun-gods known in O'hoa'ti legend as previously the Joyous Gods. O'hoa'ti bloodpriests teach their kin and disciples to fight for the Hungry Gods and feed them blood to preserve their lives, until the day all worthy O'hoa'ti warriors can stand beside them and fight the Greedy Gods, to take back the Burning Heart from Cold Lord Sky and restore it as Life's Radiant Heart, "reforming the original paradise". A strange religion, given the O'hoa'ti ways of life, which consist primarily of rampant hedonism and even more rampant killing. Folk of other lands are quite certain, however, that in actuality the O'hoa'ti's supposed gods are actually demonic patrons, who grant the bloodpriests magic in exchange for blood sacrifices and much more vile acts, unwitting (though not exactly unwilling) minions of demonic lords who wish to spread strife and evil in the world. O'hoa'ti hold cannibalistic and masochistic rites during the several 'holy days' of their religion, though some continue these practices throughout the year. Though many O'hoa'ti are vile and offensive, some are merely hedonistic and competitive, such as the O'hoa'ti gladiator champion D'achao the Bronze. Even the Mo'ahhi and Nientese humans, who occasionally ally with the hordes, doubt the O'hoa'ti religion and believe the barbarians are truly demon-worshippers. Not that they seem to have any particular problem with that, so far as foreigners (including the O'hoa'ti) can tell. [/QUOTE]
