Skadeism

the religion of Skadeism is a sadistic religion that was practiced by the ruling people of the now extinct nation of Dalana. the people who worship Skadeism believe that inflicting death on others results in them getting a desired part of the others personality or ability. for example, if a Skadeist wanted to steal another persons physical strength they would have bring them to one of the 4 spots in Dalana where rituals could take place. after that they would have to perform a ritual where they would kill the person they chose to sacrifice in front of the statue depicting their god. they would then have to say a prayer to their god asking for the part of the persons physical strength. after they have killed the person and said the prayer they would then begin to feel more and more physically powerful. this feeling of getting stronger would last around 30 seconds at which point all strength from the sacrificed person would have been completely transferred over to the person performing the ritual.
=== sacrificing rules ===
the ability that is stolen from the sacrificed person does not replace the ritual doers own ability. if the ritual doer steals someones intelligence it would add the sacrificed persons intelligence with the ritual doers own intelligence.
the sacrifice can only take place at a statue depicting the face of Dödarn. the statue must be at least 10 meters tall for it to be recognized as a suitable place for rituals to take place.
attempting to sacrifice more than one person during a single day will likely result in death as the god of Skadeism, Dödarn, wants to maintain a sustainable system where you cannot simply kill everyone to become the most powerful man in the world. because then everyone would just kill everyone and humanity would simply collapse.
if a ritual is performed by more then one person. the stolen ability will be split among the people performing the ritual.
==== Dödarn ====
Dödarn is the god of Skadeism. his face is the symbol of Skadeism. his face is a simplistic smiley face with red eyes and a sadistic smile.
many who practist Skadeism had red eyes from all the sacrifices
