Uul’ta T’hoh

Uul’ta T’hoh, translating to "Before Man" is a Raajjyn founded religion based on worshipping the Raajjyn forefathers who have given their lives up in sacrifice for the newer generations beyond them. The followers believe in the forefathers whom have made great sacrifices. The followers believe themselves to be in debt to the forefathers because of this. A debt which must be repaid in full. The followers believe they can please the forefathers thus repaying the debt through hard work and great acts of martyrdom. Followers are taught and encouraged to act communally sharing with one another and working together on each other’s personal projects and common goals. Uul’ta T’hoh followers are also very willing to give their lives in battle, seeing it as the best way to honor the forefather's sacrifice. This is why many Raajjyns' are seen as great mercenaries, for their devout spirit to fight until there is no more fight. Uul’ta T’hoh today is a very humble and small religion, but it has dozens of old monasteries of worship across Rathnir.
With many of the Uul’ta T’hoh followers scattered throughout Rathnir the amount of people still following the religion took a toll. With the days of the Grey Banner making the Raajjyn race seem more and more hostile many began to practice their religion in secret. Then with the Raajjyn race declining to near extinction the practice became less of a priority, survival became their main goal. Though the silver lining is there is still, a prescence of them still practicing and maintaining their ways. And not all the Raajjyn's are gone and are more hardened for survival than ever before.
== History ==
Uul’ta T’hoh beginnings is unclear, but many old exotic plates and resources not home to Rathnir's embrace suggests it dates back to when the Raajjyn hadn't even crashed into Rathnir yet. The religion took a steep decline in popularity, as the Raajjyns' believe to have been forsaken by the forefathers when crashing down onto Rathnir. Causing many to become Atheist, saying if the forefathers still cared they would save them. Still some very devout Raajjyn believed this to be a test from the forefathers, saying that this was a challenge they must overcome. Almost all Uul’ta T’hoh followers fled their prosecution from other tribes to the High Elder Bhunt'Saatakar. While most fled away into the vast wilderness in hiding. Bhunt'Saatakar a follower himself, he granted them asylum and let them join his war banner. But to satiate their Raajjyn needs of bloodshed by purging other tribes under the guise of pleasing the forefathers. After years of doing this, Bhunt'Saatakar would die in battle against a warring tribe, his eldest son Jjatak'Saatakar would take over his father's position. Jjatak'Saatakar would take a completely different approach, by making peaceful transitions of tribes and converting them to Uul’ta T’hoh. Jjatak'Saatakar then ordered the construction of hundreds of monasteries for praising the forefathers. The reign of the Saatakar warband would come to an end by the hands of the tribal Chieftan Ukat'Lirra. Ukat'Lirra was heavily against Uul’ta T’hoh, and ordered their citizens be purged and the monasteries destroyed. Jjtak'Saatakar and the remaining Saatakar family would die in the purge, along with almost the entire population.
