Norkish Head Hunt

MINOR INFORMATION
Norkish Head Hunts were a Norkish custom to invade foreign lands and to defeat as many foes as possible. After each battle, the Norks would decapitate their foes and gather as many heads possible for the "Great Fire". In which they return home to construct huge bonfires and throw the heads of their defeated enemies in the fire in honor of their god Wondaz. The Greatest Head Hunt ever recorded was during the Crisis of The Tenth Century, in which nearly 500,000 heads were deposited within several bonfires lit all across the Far North. The scale was so large, it was recorded that inhabitants of settlements miles away could smell the rotting and burnt heads, and that it snowed ash for nearly a week until the remains of the bonfires froze over. The Norkish Head Hunts gradually lost steam throughout the following centuries, and by the late 1400s it had become a rare occurrence, even being outright condemned by a majority of The Norkish Population. Nonetheless Head Hunts did continue, seeing a slight uptick in the mid 1500s A.T.F, albeit still in smaller numbers, and eventually The Patriarchy called for a Crusade to permanently put an end to the Norkish Head Hunts. Following the end of The Northern Crusade, the customs of Norkish Head Hunts ended completely after being outlawed by The Patriarchy during the reconstruction of The Far North.
