The Fey worship Jurakah a benevolent deity who forged the world for his Fey children.The Ker’Jurakah, or worship of Jurakah, stems from the belief that the Fey are Jurakah’s chosen children. All other races were once Fey, but they have fallen and become infidels. Infidels must be pitied and treated fairly less one fall and become one of them. Ker’Jurakah is a religion built upon the basis of three distinct concepts: measure, destiny, and decree. All Fey have a measure, the gifts that Jurakah has given them in life and with these gifts a Fey must work toward his destiny. A Fey’s success or failure in their destiny is dependant on the decree of Jurakah.There are three rites of worship in Ker’Jurakah. The first, the Kalajar, takes place at a Fey’s coming of age ceremony when he or she must declare her faith in Jurakah before a priest. At this point the Fey is ritually washed of their sins and renamed according to the measure of Jurakah. The second rite of worship, called the Hujini consists of three daily prayers. Every Fey must pray to the rising, setting, and noon sun in order that the light of Jurakah may cleanse them of their sin. The third rite of worship is called the Hajé Murati. This rite takes place on the day and night of each new moon. From the disappearance of the moon until it reappears a fey may not eat, drink, or sleep. Most of this time is spent in meditation and prayer for the return of Jurakah.The clerics of Ker’Jurakah are called Jibralle and lead the Hujini, bear witness to the Kalajar and call for the Hajé Murati. They believe that the clerics of other religions are only granted spells out of the mercy of Jurakah. Their holy symbol is three four pointed stars set two above the first. The favored weapon of Jurakah is the scimitar and Jibralles may choose any domain aside from racial domains.</blockquote>
