The Cult of the Strained Eye

The Cult of the Strained Eye is a poltheistic "religion" that reveres a divine being known as Toma'nhari Somok. The members of the cult believe that he is the supreme balance, located at the center of the universe.
== Theology ==
The cult worships the being referred to as Toma'nhari Somok, a spirit that inhabits a nebula within the center of the universe.
The origination of the cult is from a tribe that existed long ago, before proper civilization. Toma'nhari was thought to be the leader of said tribe before ascending to godhood. The translated story of him reads as follows:
"Toma'nhari Somok, leader of the Somokian tribe of Nzadja, was a man with simple, yet ambitious dreams. He wanted to reach the stars, and see what was beyond the restrictions of the planet. So he studied the stars, watching as they changed positions each night, doing what he could on the planet to see beyond them. He had almost given up, until he met a strange figure in the night. The figure introduced himself as an angel to the patron dreeeeeeeeeeeem. He said unto Toma'nhari, 'You, one of little joy, I have a gift from dreeeeeeeeeeeeam himself.' A vibrant light enveloped Toma'nhari, and he passed out. As he awakened, he found himself in a dark void, still having the light surrounding him. He saw another person coming towards him, but he couldn't yell or speak. Once the person fully reached Toma'nhari, he said, 'I, dreeeeeeeeeeeeam, give you the greatest gift, a place in the universe far beyond the stars. You will be the center, great one, the balance of all of the universe. However, one thing I sadly cannot give you, is a beautiful form. You will have to stay the red and white colors you are now. But it is a willing sacrifice for the power you have. May you have infinite blessing and prosperity.' ".
== Practice ==
Cultists praise the stars, planets, and all of the universe. On exactly January 1st, at nightfall, dreeeeeeeeeeeeeam opens the heavens for the cultists to look at their leader. From then until sunrise, the cultists would light a fire for each 20 years that haved passed since Toma'nhari ascended.
