Cruor Cruoris

Cruor Cruoris, also known as "the Cruor Heresy" or "Utumnism", is the only known religious belief practiced by the wirl people.

Since there is no known organization that dictates Cruor doctrine, most of what is known comes from it's practitioners, mostly from the now ruinous citadel of Utumno.

Even though every known practitioner seemed to follow the former baron of Utumno back when the fortress was still standing, it is not certain whether this was for theological reasons or simply a sociopolitical necessity.

It is unknown how much of the actual doctrine predates the incorporation of the Wirlomei into the Eastern Empire and what resulted from Soleannen syncretism. Most of what is known about the doctrine comes from the Manuscripts of Utumno which were destroyed alongside the city they were kept in.

Beliefs
From what could be deciphered from the manuscripts, Cruor Cruoris is a monotheist religion venerating a three aspect "god" of unknown name. The three aspects of this nameless deity are:

Truwushi. Translates literally to "work". It is venerated by doing grind or build work and appears to be somehow related to the idea of "appeasement". When "god" appears in this form, it takes the shape of seven Creepers.

Boskumsi. Translates literally to "rest". It is venerated by enchanting and farming, appears to be connected to fear. When "god" appears in this form it takes the shape of a flock of oversized Phantoms.

Unwekém. Translates literally to "ambition". It is venerated by going fishing and performing other activities, all of which have been redacted from the original manuscripts (presumably by Axyr). It is related to cruelty. When "god" appears in this form it takes the shape of an all-encompassing storm.

Additional annotations found on the manuscripts picture the world as a diseased entity whose life is held only by "god". Thus, the disappearance or debilitation of one of the venerated aspects corresponds with a signal of the apocalypse, and the death of Rathnir.
