## **AKATOSH**

The Imperials have worshipped AKATOSH ever since the group was created, many symbols in the group and some of the older logos have written messages of AKATOSH in the translation. He is known on newfag.tk as the God of the server. He is also in the story of 5SH0CK . In the main Imperial logo, the dragon in the logo is the symbol of AKATOSH. Akatosh is considered to be the most important out of all of the Imperial gods, however he is rarely worshiped by any low ranks, middle ranks and is usually only talked about in the high ranks. This may be because only high ranks know about him / understand what he is and why he matters.

Akatosh was imported from the Elder Scrolls universe. Many dragons in Imperial bases are created in his name, such as the statue of AKATOSH at Laten, which was apparently a giant golden statue of Akatosh made out of golden and obsidian blocks.

## **Molag Bal**

Molag Bal was the original Imperial Idol. The Imperials offered sacrifices to him at spawn, and constantly praised him. The Imperials would kill people to "Steal there soul", they would be blessed by the more souls they gave to Molag Bal. The Imperials no longer worship him though many people still do and want him back.

Statues of Molag Bal usually depict him as an orc, with 1 arm out, a large gentile size and crystals on almost any place they can be placed onto. A altar to trap players is usually built in front of the idol.

### How to sacrifice to Molag Bal

Molag Bal sacrifices usually go like this.

1. Build a Molag Bal shrine close to spawn, usually somewhere that new players can walk to.
2. Build a trapping altar that is able to trap new players (can be bed, but not required, just recommended)
3. Bring newfags with limited gear to the altar
4. Make sure that the newfags don't know they will die.
5. When they don't suspect it, trap them in altar and than say ask Molag Bal to give you good luck and bless imperials.
6. Kill newfag.
7. Give Molag Bal the soul.
8. To talk to Molag Bal you must speak in public chat.

Usually anywhere from 4 to 8 players are sacrificed in a single altar session. Usually there is a player (The Molag Bal cult leader) who gathers players to be sacrificed, than the rest of the players build the altar out of COMPLETLY OBSIDIAN so that no greifers can attack.

## **FIVE SHOCK (5H0CK)**

5h0ck is the god of war, he is worshiped by pvpers and imperial politicians and leaders. The cult of 5h0ck was made by 5h0ck himself, as before he ascended to heaven he claimed to be the God of war, as told by AKATOSH. 5h0ck started the cult in order for his powers to be used in the Imperials. MrCK10 lead the 5h0ck religion after he ascended by spreading 5h0ck heads around the Imperial AMC branch and across AMC. AMC's population became all 5h0ck worshipers. Even some anti imperials decided to join his religion.

### **Sacrifices**

5h0ck is worshiped through sacrificing any player, animal (harder to kill, the more reward) in a fire object, such as Magma, Fire, and most liked, lava. Usually a 5h0ck monument will have a statue of 5sh0ck, an altar, and some form of fire, mostly lava dripping down from his mouth.

Usually large monuments on most imperial branches are built to 5h0ck, most players will pilgrimage to these and conduct sacrifices there.

### **Lore**

MrCK10 the emperor at the time, was gifted 5h0ck as a recruit to defeat void, which 5h0ck did. 5h0ck defeated void in a 50v1 battle at AMC spawn. Killing all void members, and shortly after ascending to Imperial afterlife.
