Arumism

## Information

Arumism is the official religion of The Swarm that used to be Orc only, but after pressure to expand they soon began letting people outside The Swarm follow it. Arumism is one of the largest religions. Their beliefs are founded on praising the almighty god Arum.

## Arum Holy Texts

### Chapter 1: Creation

The world was full of useless humanoids. Fleshy humans, fancy elves, and hairy dwarves. Everything was peaceful. These 3 races lived relatively harmoniously for some time.

However, good things never last. From a vicious conflict between demons and humans, Arum was born. Arum was created from the hatred between the two warring parties. Arum's first weapon was the shin of a slain human.

He entered the battle between the humans and the demons. He was a titan on the battlefield. The humans were terrified at first and fled. The demons, choosing to entertain this new challenger, rushed at him with malicious intent. The elven god surrounded Arum. Arum lost his foot to them in the battle, which turned into the first orcs, who he took in as his children. This story explains why the foot represents Arum. He represents blood and warfare.

After this battle, the dwarven god approached him, fashioning him a mechanical leg. Arum accepted it, and they entered into a truce for the time being, enjoying themselves with some strong drink.

### Chapter 2: Promise

Arum gave the Orcs intelligence and the capacity to organize themselves into a civilization. The orcs created a hive-mind society called The Swarm. Arum appeared to the elected leader in a vision and gave him this prophecy. "The Orcish people will conquer the nonbelievers. I have willed it."

It was around this time, Arum taught the Orc nation the Art of War and how to use weapons. Arum, feeling pleased with what he did, said he would remain with the Orcs for several years before sleeping inside the Earth.

### Chapter 3: Family

While living with the Orcs, he found favor with an Orcish woman, her name lost to history. Arum, with this woman, had two children. Mork, the elder, and Gork. Mork was enthusiastic and loyal to the Swarm from a Young age but Gork defected and fled to the Northern nation-states. Arum was saddened by this and suddenly withdrew.

#### The story of mork (Documented by Talafal)

Mork the son of arum was a loyal soldier of the swarm where he had fought in many wars. But we shall first learn more about his life before we get to the gruesome wars.

##### Chapter one: childhood

Mork was the son of arum, no one officially knows the mother but there are some theories, like a young peasant named Amola which had been killed months after giving both to mork and gork. Another theory is that the mother was an elvish soldier whose name was o'Elivequit and who lived a long life. Mork had a brother gork who was seen as smaller and wimpier but both were quite huge to the average ork. When Mork was little he went into a forest with his brother exploring but they had stumbled against a huge 3-headed demon bear which swiped at Gork which made him run away. Then mork knew he had to show to his father Amur that he was a strong mighty ork. So he stayed to kill the bear, and he did succeed with a few minor injuries. Though he had gained a scar right under his left eye. His father happened to be rather upset with his brother Gork for not staying with his brother to fight. And ever since that day Mork was always the favorite out of the two.

##### Chapter two: a destiny

Once mork had hit the age of what we think is 19 he had joined the military because of the war between the now non existent nation of Kapyrelay which was run by humans. His first deployment was in a nearby town of Kavothoski where he was a foot soldier where he had suffered a wound during a fight but had survived. Though during his first ever battle he had saved many of his orkish soldiers from breaking them out of nearby camps. He had won the Orkish medal of swarmish for his bravery and had been promoted to captain of the 105th regiment where he led them to many victories but during a war he and his soldiers were encircled. He knew he would have to sacrifice himself to save his men's soldiers so he had grabbed a fire grenade and ran towards the enemy's trench and he blew up the enemy, and himself.

##### Chapter three: a new place

He had awoken after his heroic sacrifice but he wasn't in the heaven that his dad had told him about many times. He was in a place with no one besides a soldier he saw that he remembered. That soldier turned out to be a soldier in his army that had died many years previously during a mission gone wrong where he had also sacrificed himself. "Mork you are where the hero's go when a hero passes said the soldier "but why are we the only ones here?" Said mork "because we are the only ones who had truly been classified as a hero" said the soldier "what's classified as a soldier?" Said mork "a soldier who has given his life to his nation, not personal greed or wealth, not fame or recognition either" said the soldier

That had explained it, that there were only two true heroes in the world. He found out his soldier's name was Vevo Chanto. Also in the story it is thought that after a while recantation would happen and the hero would become a nobleman, or another hero. And that is how Mork's story had ended though it is heard that every thousand years he comes again to bring a heroic soldier to where he was thousands of years ago.

### Chapter 4: Slumber

Legend says that Arum sleeps beneath the highest point in The Swarm. He will awaken from his sleep when enough blood has fallen on the ground to attract his appetite for war and bloodshed.

### Chapter 5: Code

Arum would occasionally astral project and appear in the dreams of our leader. Arum gave unto the leader a set of commandments to speak unto the Swarm. These commandments are a way of life. How should an Orc live his/her life? They are as follows:

* THOU SHALL NOT INSULT THE NAME OF ARUM.

* THOU SHALL NOT CONSUME CANDY.

* THOU SHALL NOT OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

* THOU SHALL NOT MURDER EACH OTHER.

* THOU SHALL NOT INCITE RIOTOUS BEHAVIOR.

* THOU MUST ADHERE TO THE HIVE-MIND'S DECISIONS.

* THOU MUST NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE ARUM TEXT.

One must remember that any damage to The Arum Text is punishable by death.

Some additional tenets are that Arum accepts any race that will accept being an orc in spirit, or in other words to accept his ideology. Anyone who will do this, regardless of race or nation, is considered an orc.

### Chapter 6: Asylum

There was a time in history when the Swarm had a huge influx of immigrants originating from the far north. The northern society had caved in on itself and this caused the citizens to flee for their lives. The generous leader of the Swarm welcomed them with open arms.

The newcomers had to learn the ways of the Orcs. They were forced to adapt their lifestyles and learn the language. They needed to become one with the Hive. It is not an easy process, however.

### Chapter 7: Arum

* Arum is the God of War.

* Arum is the God of Blood.

* Arum is the God of the Orcs.

Arum sleeps beneath the Earth and waits for his people's enemies.

### Chapter 8: Prophet

Wendi - The Voice of Arum [WendiGo Away #4108]

Sometimes the leader's mind would be too clouded and this would not allow Arum to appear to the leader. Arum chose a special individual to now exclusively appear to via visions or through manifestation. This person is the High Priest, Prophet, and Voice of Arum: Wendi.

### Chapter 9: Prayers

These prayers can be said aloud or in one's mind to attract Arum.

#### Edin's Chant

In the swamps of the sacred land, lives a holy man living thru the ages making an invasion plan

The man's name is Arum oh that much is clear.

When the northerners see our might,

they just disappear.

#### Jaden's Incantation

O, mighty Arum, god of war and bloodshed, Grant me your strength and fill me with dread, As I march forth to battle, sword in hand,

Let your power surge through me, make me stand. With your blessing, let my enemies tremble, And with fear in their hearts, let them stumble, Let my strikes be swift and my aim be true,

As I fight for glory and honor, in service to you. Grant me the courage to face my foes, And the ferocity to strike deadly blows, Let my enemies fall before me, one by one, Until the battle is won, until the fighting is done.

Oh Arum, god of orcs, lord of war, Guide me through the fray, forevermore, With your strength and power by my side,

I shall fight and conquer, in your name I abide. So hear my prayer, oh great god of war, And lend me your strength, forevermore,

For in battle, I am your faithful servant,

And in victory, I shall sing your praises, fervent. Swarm!

#### Wowser's incantation

In a world of useless humanoids

Peaceful harmony for some time

Fleshy humans, elves, and dwarves But conflict led to something new But demons surrounded, he sacrificed his right foot Foot represents his blood and speed

His weapon a shin of a human slain On the battlefield, he was a titan

Chorus:

Arum, God of War and Blood

Creator of Orcs, leathery and green

Taught them the Art of War and weaponry

Promised they would conquer every nation

Arum, Father of Mork and Gork

He sleeps beneath the Earth, waiting for bloodshed

Arum, the Orcs' God forevermore

Verse 2:

Arum appeared to the leader in a vision

And prophesied their domination

He stayed with them for years

Teaching them the ways of war

### Chapter 11: Gorks rebellion

After Gork had fled to the North, he created a new empire -known as The skrieh- It quickly rose to power in the region and became dominant with the help of Gork, and soon thought to Challenge the swarm.

They had already cut of the Northmen who had just recently gained independence from kathothsky after they were defeated by the swarm they also were a lot smaller back in the day only having the city of awunsin who was their capital at that time and another more western city, it caused the Northmen to declare war on the skhriek which was at first looking like a total victory they even managed to successfully siege and gain control of one of the shrieks biggest city.

But then Gork entered the battlefield, soldier after soldier fell for his might until awunsin fell.

After that they decided to come with a peace deal:

1. The city of awunsin should be ceded to the orcs.
2. The Northmen where forced to Allie with the shriek forever.

This caused the Northmen to change their capital to the western city which was called noarmian, but called Northmen as

they were the only city left.

After years Gork decided to declare war on the swarm, as arum had left them he saw it as his chance to strike at first it looked like a decisive victory for Gork as the troops of the swarm didn't have the morale to defend their nation. But one day, during the legendary siege of Morkiosant arum returned. He looked at his soldiers and told them that he was here and their glory was inevitable, this gave them new powers and morale. They struck around noon and hit a decisive attack against the shriekish 167. Battalion and that way managed to outflank the rest of the 16. division. There was 3 out of his 19 total divisions fighting for Gork in the siege of morkiusant with each one having respectively 4 battalions and each battalion had 3 brigades.

Gorks army had been repeled and suffered great losses they had to flee out of all non shriekish territory to defend for an inevitable swarming counter offensive. By noon 92 moons after the siege of morkiusant the swarming counteroffensive came destroying 3 cities in its path with that the Northmen saw their chance to regain territory from the shriek and together with they swarm they defeated the shriek in the siege of asatintamourea.

With that arum came down once again and decided to visit Gork, he came to destroy all of the traitors living and being there and all houses build there. People begged for mercy but he wouldn't stop, He ended the reign of gork forever.
