Etohgrre
~ 4.3M
Etohgrre is a highly matriarchal henotheism. It is a folk religion in Schteisen. They believe in Ddace, Goddess of Wrath, or The Dread Queen. She is believed to be an ancestor of the clergy, which is why only girls related to other clergy are chosen. The focus for Etohgrre lies in harmony with nature. Supernatural things like witchcraft, ambivalent nature spirits and guardian spirits are believed in. The clergy's function is as soothsayers and arbiters of holiness. They live in luxury and their colour is black.
