Ancestor Spirits

The nobility of Mazerrajya sometimes worship foreign deities. However, the common people usually worship the departed spirits of their own ancestors.
The high priesthood of the Ancestor Spirits is hereditary by agnatic primogeniture (though in most instances where the high priesthood and an agnatic primogeniture noble title were held by one person with multiple sons, the priesthood and the title went to different brothers). The current high priest is named Yong, second of that name, called "the Likeable".
