Introduction
The Cult
The Ortor are not as numerous in Tassèrus as they are on other continents. The Agârū of Tassèrus follow the way of the Old Lord Agârkrāuk, known to the Yrūn as Agáhaz’ar, and to Dwürden as Agáhar (*spit*). The Agârū believe themselves to be direct descendants of the Old Lord.
The Priesthood
Priests wear any battle-gear anointed with the blood of one’s enemies. Helmets are often decorated with bull or cow horns. Progression within the Cult of Agârkrāuk is determined by physical and magical prowess, as well as accomplishment and renown in battle.
Daily Activities
All defeated foe are dedicated to the glory of Agârkrāuk. On holy days prisoners are piked and their blood and viscera collected in large ceremonial cups.
