Unchu

Unchu is a religion followed by many Koczniks, mainly in the holy city of Vorovlast. It is polytheistic and shamanistic, and worships seven gods (Bogjal, Kokkratz, Cyldyz, Bogru, Erkekleri, Hruh and Bogjorn), their progeny and respective Humours and Elements.

Deities And Beliefs
The seven Unchu Gods have a strong tie to the seven Unchu Humors, and seven Unchu Elements. They also have respective aspects, relations, manifestations, and are the patrons of various aspects of Kocznik life. They are as follows;

Bogjal
Bogjal was one of the three First Gods. He created the Koczniks from mud and plant matter, and, thusly his Humor is mud. This mud became the Kocznik's flesh, and, thusly, flesh is his Element. He is the brother of Erkekleri and Bogjorn, and the husband of Hruh. He took a mistress in Akonanda, with which he had a demigod son, named Editing "Eddy" Bison.

Bogjal is the patron of all people, the Koczniks, travelers and hunters. He is also the supreme deity of the pantheon, king of kings, and one of the three monarchs of The Kocznik Host. He manifests as a tall human with the head of a stag.

Kokkratz
Kokkratz is a second generation God, daughter of Erkekleri and Cyldyz. She is the patron Goddess of love, color, perfume, and the senses. Her Element is the spine, as this body part symbolizes and is home to the senses in Kocznik culture. Her Humor is culm, or plant stems. Kokkratz manifests as a beautiful woman clad in colorful, flowing silk robes.

Cyldyz
Cyldyz is a first generation God, but is not one of the three First Gods. They were born of the night sky where it meets the shores of the sea at the horizon, and married Erkekleri, bearing Kokkratz as their child. They have no gender, as they have no physical form, instead manifesting as an amorphous human made out of night sky. Their Humour is borage, as this was what made the eyes of the first Koczniks, and Cyldyz is God of sight. Following this trend, their Element is the eyes.

As well as sight, Cyldyz is God of the sky, stars, air and darkness.

Bogru
Bogru is the child of Bogjal, and his wife, Hruh. He is a skeletal being, with the skull of a horse and the skeleton of a gibbon. His nature as a skeleton inclines him to the Element of bones, and the Humor withy, which formed the ribs of the first Koczniks. He is the patron of death, bones, mining, caves and stone, and is said to collect the souls of brave, wise and holy Koczniks himself, to live forever alongside the Gods.

Erkekleri
Erkekleri was one of the First Gods, sister of Bogjal and Bogjorn, wife of Cyldyz, and mother of Kokkratz. She used her Humor of hyssop to bring life, free will, thought and holiness to the first Koczniks, and thusly her Element is life. Erkekleri is the oldest of the Gods, and was born before the physical world. Thusly, she has no physical form. She is the patron of life.

Hruh
Hruh was born a mortal, but ascended to godhood after making a great sacrifice. One of the first Kocznik shamans, she was born before the second generation of Gods. At that time, the Koczniks worshipped only the First Gods, as the others were not yet created. In her mortal life, Hruh witnessed the creation of Cyldyz, and married Bogjal. She bore two children, Bogru and Dramat with Bogjal, and was made shaman of the Koczniks. However, due to her children's half-mortal status, they were not immortal, and were afflicted with a terrible illness when they were young. Making the ultimate sacrifice, Hruh gave her own life to create an antidote for their mortality, which, among other things, required her own blood. Bogjal was saved, but Dramat died. Thrown into a terrible sadness, Bogjal worked with Erkekleri to revive her, and she became immortal, manifesting in the form of a pelican, a symbol of her martyrdom.

In line with her sacrifice, her Element is blood, and her Humor is pith, the blood of the first Koczniks. She is a mournful god, mourning her death and the loss of her son, Dramat. Due to this, she can be heard wailing and crying in storms and bad weather, and is patron of war, blood, death, tragedy, sacrifice, food and children

Bogjorn
Bogjorn is one of the First Gods, brother of Erkekleri and Bogjal. He is the youngest of the three, but is also the strongest. In line with this, his Element is muscle, and his Humor is bark, the strong outer shell of the trees that populate Akonanda. He is God of warriors, workers, leaders and brave Koczniks. He manifests as a bear, or a muscular bear-headed man.
