Mahrator (faith)
Parent: Mahrator
The Mahrator religion is mostly animistic, worshiping a large host of horse-spirits hailed as being almost equivalent to the gods. Kaegan, God of Horses and King of Heaven, is said to have taught the first men how to ride horses with the aid of Horsemother, who once rode across the sky until the horse-hating goddess Ur-mai threw her down to the earth
Horses are revered as being quasidivine, and are given lavish funerals upon death. To harm a horse is a grievous sin punishable by death. The Mahratorans also believe that a man's worth is proven only through combat, and so they conduct ritual raids against their enemies. Both horses and men are given sky burials so that Ur-mai cannot steal their souls.
