Sarakdianism
Upon the year -3109 (1313 B.C.) a Dreuvalk known as Auiribane Lorinkhi, heard a voice in his head to "Spread the Word of Sarakdia". Auiribane suddenly had a revelation, all of truth was revealed to him or so he thought, and went to write a book to just try and write down all of the incoherent thoughts roaming his mind, thus in 4 months away from his family, he had returned to his town with a new book he had written. "The Holy word of Sarakdia and the revelation of the wreath". Dreuvalk religion at the time was of messy druidic practices and false religions but Auiribane was very sure that this must be the true word. The religion spread and in due time, Sarakdainism had been practiced around 89% of the entire Dreuvalk race by 0 A.E.B. (1796 A.D.).
Tenets of Faith
Around over 100 years before the founding of the religion, the head marking ritual had been done by Dreuvalkan druids and local rulers before until the Sarakdian priests assumed control of the ritual, and only a Kana-Sarak Priest, (A priest directly under the rule of the head Exalted Priest) can decide if a Dreuvalk is worthy of a marking due to their acts, while the Exalted Priest can decide for more major and royal figures, and also preforms the marking ritual as too legitimize a royal child. This also meant that one couldn't fake a head marking as all of them are recorded by the 'Kami-Saraki-Ordinatum', and any fake head marking is punishable by burning the false mark off with jail time.
Worship
Avid worshipers are to wear an wreath that is of an Spoploar bush that is made into a mold and a metallic wreath is made and an avid worshiper will wear a wreath of Copper. The Ordin-Sarakdi are too always wear a wreath except when in their own home by choice and the wreath is of their own copper wreath, melted and combined with zinc to make a brass wreath and thanks to the Spoplar leaves durability and firmness helps keep the wreath shape when a mold is made. An Abra-Sarak wears a wreath of Bronze which is made of their old copper wreath remelted with tin to make bronze. An Duarbra-Sarak will wear a wreath of steel made of iron and the bones of animals, and in rare cases, their own enemies. The Kana-Sarak wear a wreath of silver and the Kami-Sarak, an old, grand wreath made of gold, and this golden wreath is said to been made by Auiribane himself under the order of Cloritchdra, as to replace the organic wreath.
Priesthood
When the first Exalted Priest, Auiruibane, passed away, his follower held a meeting to try and see how they could appoint a new Exalted Priest. It was decided that the Kana-Sarak Priests will vote amongst themselves to elevate one of their own to become the next exalted priest. The Exalted Priest is the faithful chosen of the religion and decides on matters much like a king. They hold their matters with the other priests in Auiribane's home, turned holy city/Ecumenical district 'Gardandilis'.
The Exalted Priest is also known as the 'Kami-Sarak'. Under the Exalted Priest are his right hand men, The 'Kana-Sarak' Priests. The Kana-Sarak act as stern disciples and advisers to the Exalted Priest. They can be recognized by their orange and red robes contrasting with the Exalted Priest's Yellow and Blue robe. Underneath the Kana-Sarak, are the Abra-Sarak who are local sort of Bishop type Sarakdian Priests who rule a local area on any planet. The Abra-Sarak are ruled over by a Duarbra-Sarak. An elevated Abra-Sarak that governs the religious happenings on a planet, rather than a normal Abra-Sarak who manages a local region on a planet. A normal Sarakdian Priest, known as an 'Ordin-Sarakdi' own a normal Sarak Temple."To our holy god, praise Chloritchdra Sarakdia"
