Completing the Cycle
In Nakut'yun there is a death ritual/ ceremony. It is considered completing the cycle. People who worship Namu as their deity believe that living beings are brought to life through the cycle of Alyaha.
History
When the elementals of Jorn, created from Namu, passed they would hold a ceremony celebrating the life that this indivudual had and thanking Namu for bringing them to their loved ones and allowing them to walk on Nakut'yun for the time that they did. After Namu essentially kicked everyone out the ritual changed slightly. With the main race, the elemantals, now brought out to the rest of Nakut'yun they showed others their rituals for assistance in getting the body back to Namu. Other beings have since adopted this ritual.
Execution
The ceremony would start by people creating a memorial for the being at the base of Alyaha. The being would be laid next to this and covered by gifts and vegitation. During the ceremony people would talk about the being and end by saying thank you to Namu for allowing them to exist in their life. People would also take this oppurtunity to "talk" to the being. During this time Namu would be present and once everyone was able to have their peace and say their thanks Namu would take the being and let them return to the cycle, the being's body would dissapate and be added to Alyaha.
Observance
The celebration sometimes began when the beings became sick or old and had asked Namu how long they have until their essence is parted from this plane, from there people would start to plan and sometimes will start the celebration while the beings were still alive. Now if a being died from an accident or an unexpected death their closest loved ones would have the celebration shortly after their loved one passed.
What The Cycle Looks Like Today
Being that Namu'Nii is less active and Vire is more perilous she plays little part in the ritual. The old ways have been lost. However, all things living on Nakut'yun still return to the cycle.
When things return to the cycle they dissipate into small lights and rise up to return to Alyaha.
