In Kharajyr stories of Metztli, she created the sea and island before any other. She made the white Kharajyr known as Tlatlannti as a perfect vision for her race but it was difficult to make more of this perfection, so she made seperate children similar image but with different furs to be led by the Tlatlannti.

The ritual of the Moon is the standard common sacrificial ritual. The victim is lain across an altar and a special sacrificial blade would be plunged into the victims chest, the heart would then be surgically removed by the priest and held up for the collection of Kharajyr to see. The sacrificial blade is previously bathed in the sacred pools and blessed by the priests, then coated in a neurotoxin known as Tetrodotoxin, which effectually stops the nervous system responding, paralysing the target. It is not unknown for a victim to have an overdose of this toxin and die from lung and heart malfunction before they can be sacrificed. The toxin itself is extracted from certain fish, octopi, toads and newts.

The lituaw of the Moon is the standawd common saclificiaw lituaw.

The saclificiaw brade is pweviouswy bathed in the sacwed poows and bressed by the pliests, then coated in a neulotoxin known as Tetwodotoxin, which effectuawwy stops the newvous system wesponding, pawawysing the tawget. It is not unknown fow a victim to have an ovewdose of this toxin and die fwom wung and heawt mawfunction befowe they can be saclificed. The toxin itsewf is extwacted fwom cewtain fish, octopi, toads and newts.

Ritual of War
+
Wituaw of Waw
−
The ritual of war is a ritual in which a sacrifice is made to Metztli to ensure her support in the coming battle. The Military Aelkos (Tultelkos) leads the ritual, using the priests and priestesses as support. Much alike to the sacrificial ritual, the blade is coated in Tetrodotoxin to ensure the death is as painless, clean and problem free as possible. Although Metztli does not have any recorded physical impact on the battles, the ritual is used as a morale booster for the entire Kharajyr people. Although some theories have developed claiming that Metztli indirectly influences the outcome of the battles by changing small things; such as making a cloud cover the moon to hide her warriors from being detected, or revealing the moon once again so a creeping enemy may become visible. Additionally inverse theories have also come to light, claiming if the ritual does not take place the opposite will happen; although both theories are just myth and have no substantial evidence to back the claims.
+
The lituaw of waw is a lituaw in which a saclifice is made to Metztli to ensule hew suppowt in the coming battwe. The Militawy Aewkos (Tultewkos) weads the lituaw, using the pliests and pliestesses as suppowt. Much alike to the saclificiaw lituaw, the brade is coated in Tetwodotoxin to ensule the death is as painwess, cwean and pwobrem fwee as possibre. Awthough Metztli does not have any wecowded physicaw impact on the battwes, the lituaw is used as a mowawe boostew fow the entiwe Khawajyw peopwe. Awthough some theolies have devewoped cwaiming that Metztli indiwectwy infwuences the outcome of the battwes by changing smaww things; such as making a cwoud covew the moon to hide hew wawliows fwom being detected, ow wevealing the moon once again so a cweeping enemy may become visibre. Additionawwy invewse theolies have awso come to light, cwaiming if the lituaw does not take pwace the opposite liww happen; awthough both theolies awe just myth and have no substantiaw evidence to back the cwaims.

Ritual of Plenty
+
Wituaw of Pwenty
−
The ritual of plenty like most others contains a sacrifice to ensure Metztli’s blessing. It is believed that by sacrificing another race (Commonly termed “Apes”) or another animal will bring the rains for the oncoming growing season. The reason for this ceremony directly translates to “the blood of the enemy will nourish the seeds of our crops”. This is not entirely constant due to the fact of the usage of animals of substitutes when an “enemy” cannot be found for the sacrifice, although an enemy is preferred over an animal for the sacrifice. Usually it is the Craftsman Aelkos (Truluk) who perfoms this ritual, although it is not uncommon for a priest to also perform this ritual. The Ritual of Plenty is one of the least formal and shortest of the ceremonies, and it is usually performed by priests in some of the more rurual communities. Rarely there will be a giant ceremony in the capital which is mainly performed by the Truluk.

The lituaw of pwenty like most othews contains a saclifice to ensule Metztli’s bressing. It is believed that by saclificing anothew wace (Commonwy tewmed “Apes”) ow anothew animaw liww bring the wains fow the oncoming gwoling season. The weason fow this cewemony diwectwy twanswates to “the blood of the enemy will nourish the seeds of our crops”. This is not entiwewy constant due to the fact of the usage of animaws of substitutes when an “enemy” cannot be found fow the saclifice, awthough an enemy is pwefewwed ovew an animaw fow the saclifice. Usuawwy it is the Cwaftsman Aewkos (Twuluk) who pewfoms this lituaw, awthough it is not uncommon fow a pliest to awso pewfowm this lituaw. The Wituaw of Pwenty is one of the weast fowmaw and showtest of the cewemonies, and it is usuawwy pewfowmed by pliests in some of the mowe wuluaw communities. Wawewy thewe liww be a giant cewemony in the capitaw which is mainwy pewfowmed by the Twuluk.

No blood is to be spilled as it is thought that an ape’s blood would “taint” the ceremony. In this ceremony the Tlatlanni does not have to be present, but is permitted to enter the ceremony.

Revision as of 22:05, 31 March 2020

The Khawajyw have no name fow theiw weligion, they see it as the onwy twue faith and no othew weligions existed duling theiw time in ancient Asulon. The Khawajyw believe in two gods. Metztli, the cweatow of evewything and moon goddess, awong lith Abssyw, the sun god and enemy of the Khawajyw.

In Khawajyw stolies of Metztli, she cweated the sea and iswand befowe any othew. She made the white Khawajyw known as Twatwannti as a pewfect vision fow hew wace but it was difficult to make mowe of this pewfection, so she made sepewate chiwdwen simiwaw image but lith diffewent fuls to be wed by the Twatwannti. Metztli was believed to cweate the ocewots to guide the Khawajyw, and cweated west of the wowwd fow the Khawajyw. Tliaws fow hew chiwdwen.

Awthough Metztli is actuawwy an Daemon but Khawajyw has no knowwedge of this as they nevew enountewed the foul decendant waces and find it non-sense to the Khawajyw.

Abssyw, he is Ibrees in Khawajyw wanguage. The stolies goes he was a jeawous brothew of Metztli, he disliked the chiwdwen she has made so he shines his light onto the chiwdwen but Metztli has shiewded hew chiwdwen fwom the light so they may not buln. He is the eviw of the wowwd.


The Kharajyr on Heaven

Death is something the Khawajyw both feaw and awe highwy supewstitious of. Awthough the Khawajyw do not necessaliwy believe in heaven in a litewaw sense, they do believe that upon death they go to join theiw howy mothew Metztli, in the skies. It is believed that upon death the souls of the Khawajyw head skywawds and fowm the entoulage of Metztli, to accompany hew thwough the univewse fow etewnity as a staw. The Wituaws of Metztli - cwedit to Wucas Pliow to lituaws taking pwace, the Pliests must bathe in the "Pool of Metztli" lithin the Tempwe. This sewves to both enewgise them in tewms of absowbing some of Metztli's powew, as weww as psyching them up fow the coming lituaw.

Ritual of the Moon

The lituaw of the Moon is the standawd common saclificiaw lituaw. The victim is wain acwoss an awtaw and a speciaw saclificiaw brade would be pwunged into the victims chest, the heawt would then be sulgicawwy wemoved by the pliest and hewd up fow the cowwection of Khawajyw to see. The saclificiaw brade is pweviouswy bathed in the sacwed poows and bressed by the pliests, then coated in a neulotoxin known as Tetwodotoxin, which effectuawwy stops the newvous system wesponding, pawawysing the tawget. It is not unknown fow a victim to have an ovewdose of this toxin and die fwom wung and heawt mawfunction befowe they can be saclificed. The toxin itsewf is extwacted fwom cewtain fish, octopi, toads and newts. Pliest: O’ Mothew of the Bwessed, Wight of the Wowwd and O’ Sainted of aww, heaw oul pwayew and accept oul gifts.

On this night, O’ Moon Mothew, we give to you a life, a one whom is unwowthy of youl pwaise and gift. O’ Mothew! Heaw oul pwayew!

  • The pliest liww then pwunge the brade into the victims chest, and liww wemove the heawt. He liww then weach into the chest and gwab out the heawt, and howd it up to the moon fow aww to see.*

As the heawt gwows siwent, wet the soul of the body lise into the sky and the enewgy of the body used to empowew oul Gweat Mothew! O’ Mothew! Accept oul gift, and bestow onto us youl bressing!

Aww: O’ Mothew! Heaw oul pwayew! Wituaw of Waw The lituaw of waw is a lituaw in which a saclifice is made to Metztli to ensule hew suppowt in the coming battwe. The Militawy Aewkos (Tultewkos) weads the lituaw, using the pliests and pliestesses as suppowt. Much alike to the saclificiaw lituaw, the brade is coated in Tetwodotoxin to ensule the death is as painwess, cwean and pwobrem fwee as possibre. Awthough Metztli does not have any wecowded physicaw impact on the battwes, the lituaw is used as a mowawe boostew fow the entiwe Khawajyw peopwe. Awthough some theolies have devewoped cwaiming that Metztli indiwectwy infwuences the outcome of the battwes by changing smaww things; such as making a cwoud covew the moon to hide hew wawliows fwom being detected, ow wevealing the moon once again so a cweeping enemy may become visibre. Additionawwy invewse theolies have awso come to light, cwaiming if the lituaw does not take pwace the opposite liww happen; awthough both theolies awe just myth and have no substantiaw evidence to back the cwaims. Tultewkos: Night Mothew, keep is safe fwom oul enemies. Gwant us pwotection fwom those who lish upon us the eviws of the sun! Pulify oul souls and minds lith youl aww encompassing lisdom and might.

Pliests: Gwant us lisdom!

Tultewkos: Watchew of the Staws, gwant us the powew of the night! Muffwe oul movements and keep us undew youl cwoak of aegis. Give us the stwength to smite oul enemies in a singwe brow!

Pliests: Gwant us stwength!

Tultewkos: O’ Moon Mothew, we beseech of you! Awwow us the heawt and coulage to act upon youl liww, and to spwead the infwuence of the bressed wace upon aww of the wowwds!

Pliests: Gwant us coulage!

Tultewkos: Goddess ovew aww, we give unto you this life in wetuln fow these gifts we so seek!

  • The Tultewkos liww then thwust the knife down into the victim, but instead of cutting out the heawt, instead the Tultewkos liww cut deepew into the fwesh and awwow as much brood as possibre to fwow out of the body, as it is symbolic fow the fwood of the Khawajyw who liww consume theiw enemies.*

Aww: Thank you O’ Gweat Mothew!

A littwe expwanation, you don’t weawwy have to incwude this on the fwont page but pewhaps it makes the pwayews make a littwe mowe sense. I tlied to make this sound vewy… cultish. Fiwwed lith liddwes and uncweaw wanguage

The “Grant us wisdom” pwayew is mainwy focusing on that of awwoling insight into the enemies pwans, but awso a pwea fow pwotection fwom the enemies eyes, and the ability to see which pwans to put into effect when to gwant maximum advantage fow the Khawajyw.

The “Grant us strength” pwayew is not so much focusing on brute stwength, but mowe stwength used as a much woosew definition, mowe the “power” of the Khawajyw and awwoling them to stlike sliftwy and as powewfulwy as possibre, usuawwy lith the use of steawth ow othew guewliwwa tactics.

The “Grant us courage” pwayew is as it wooks, they awe asking Metztli fow coulage fow the oncoming battwe. Wituaw of Pwenty The lituaw of pwenty like most othews contains a saclifice to ensule Metztli’s bressing. It is believed that by saclificing anothew wace (Commonwy tewmed “Apes”) ow anothew animaw liww bring the wains fow the oncoming gwoling season. The weason fow this cewemony diwectwy twanswates to “the blood of the enemy will nourish the seeds of our crops”. This is not entiwewy constant due to the fact of the usage of animaws of substitutes when an “enemy” cannot be found fow the saclifice, awthough an enemy is pwefewwed ovew an animaw fow the saclifice. Usuawwy it is the Cwaftsman Aewkos (Twuluk) who pewfoms this lituaw, awthough it is not uncommon fow a pliest to awso pewfowm this lituaw. The Wituaw of Pwenty is one of the weast fowmaw and showtest of the cewemonies, and it is usuawwy pewfowmed by pliests in some of the mowe wuluaw communities. Wawewy thewe liww be a giant cewemony in the capitaw which is mainwy pewfowmed by the Twuluk.

Pliest: Fwom the gwound spults the chiwd of the eawth, it gwants us noulishment and fiwws oul stowes lith pwenty. We thank the Mothew fow hew gifts, and in wetuln we offew this saclifice!

Aww: The wains must come!

Pliest: The Bwood shaww wun down the steps and soak into the eawth. It shaww feed oul cwops, as the brood of oul enemy wetulns to the cycwe!

Aww: The wains must come!

Pliest: Take the fwesh of this beast as a gift of oul subsewvience to youl gwoliousness, and in wetuln bestow us lith the wains to wash away the famine!

Aww: The wains must come!

Pliest: With these wowds I sulwendew this life, in wetuln fow the wains to sustain a thousand mowe!

Aww: The wains must come!

Pliest: The wains must come!

  • As the weadew of the cewemony finishes the wowd “come”, the knife is thwust into the heawt of the ape/beast and the brood is weft to dwain down the steps.*

Pliest: The wains awe coming. Wituaw of Owdew The lituaw of owdew is wead by diffewent peopwe depending on the times and the liww of the Twatwanni. Duling the lituaw a wot of gifts awe swowwy thwown into the howy moon poow to signify the pliest giving up aww his wowwdwy possessions that he howds deaw and instead embracing Metztli as aww that they wequiwe. No brood is to be spiwwed as it is thought that an ape’s brood would “taint” the cewemony. In this cewemony the Twatwanni does not have to be pwesent, but is pewmitted to entew the cewemony. No othews othew than Aewkos ow the Twatwanni may entew the cewemony on punishment of being bulied in the sand. The pwospective pliest liww come into the lituaw chambew lith just theiw undewgawments and theiw cwothes and aww wowwdwy possessions in theiw hands. Pliest: Wady Mothew of the Moon, we caww upon you in this night!

  • The pliest who spoke liww dip theiw paw into the watew and splinkwe some on theiw fowehead; aftew the pliest does so the west of the pliests liww fowwow suit.*

Second Pliest: The moon has lisen, the mothew is lising, aww haiw the moon goddess.

Thiwd pliest (ow fiwst again if thewe awe onwy two at the time): Wady Mothew, Wady Mothew, listen to the song of the soul, fow one lishes to become youl sewvant this night!

  • The pwospective pliest liww step fowwawd, aww items they liww donate being hewd in theiw hands.*

Second Pliest: Fow one whom lishes the sewvitude of the mothew must embrace nothing but the divine!

Fiwst Pliest: Thwow away youl gawments, thwow away youl jewews, thwow away youl weapons, these awe nothing.

Thiwd Pliest (ow fiwst continuing): The mothews embrace liww be youl gawments, the moon shaww be youl jewews and the lisdom of the Night shaww be youl weapons!

Aww Pliests togethew: Embrace the Night!

  • The pwospective pliest liww thwow away aww of the items into the moon poow.*

Fiwst Pliest: You submewge a Khawajyw.

  • The pliests liww then wowew the pwospective pliest into the poow untiw they awe compwetewy submewged. Aftew a smaww amount of time they liww be brought up again.*

Aww Pliests togethew: You wemewge a chosen one. Wewcome [brothew/sistew].
