Homeland: The Dark Coast

"It is Moorg's will that he should die, and die slowly! To doubt the word of Moorg is to suffer his displeasure yourself!"

You were always smarter than your newt siblings, and rapidly excelled their dredging abilities in the mud mines, locating sapphires with greater ease and facility. Food was your reward, and you would have been a great warrior, had not an aged shaman taken you as his successor, stating it was Moorg's desire. Under the shaman's tuition you were told the greatest of truths: that any whim or desire you bear is Moorg's desire also, and that Moorg has decreed that non-shamans should never learn of this. He taught you how to achieve 'Moorg's' ambitions using the word of Moorg, and that plentiful rituals of mating and fertility served to keep Moorg's children content, and threats of Moorg's displeasure served to make them work harder; all in accordance with 'Moorg's' will. Rivals and questioners are to be disposed of, for they are opposed to 'Moorg's' will, and invoking 'Moorg's' hatred of them seals their fate. You create the taboos of Moorg as he inspires them in your brain, and you judge any accused using 'Moorg's' personal viewpoint. You absorbed his lessons with eager realization, and also learned that the shamans and chieftain must cooperate and support each other in order to survive and increase 'Moorg's' gains.
