Tokkotism

Tokkotism is a native religion of the hardened people of the (placeholder) tundra. It centers around worship of heat and fire in the harsh and coldtundra. They believe that heat is the most powerful force in the World, but cold is also needed for balance and because it hardens people and makes them stronger. They believe that constant struggle between gods ensures this status quo.

Tokkote
In the harsh and cold tundra, Tokkote spreads heat. He is the diety of fire, thunder and lightning, and family. He and Gemini are the greatest enemies. He is ususally described as a kind old man with very long beard riding his bear through tundra. He uses lightning to ignite fire to people who lack it, but may abandon vile people with great misdeeds.

Gyermin
Gemini is the god of hunting and cold. The ice spikes, also called gyermini (plural), are believed to be tips of his arrows. He usually is described as a young beardless man wandering tundra looking for a game to hunt. He uses snowstorm to hide when Tokkote finds him.

Yuharke
She is the goddess of rivers, fish and fishermen. She is usually described as a hybrid of a woman and a fish. She dictates where the fish go and shows up in dreams of fishermen to guide them to best spots to fish the next day.

Kutke
He is the god of death and ruler of the underworld. He is usually described as a beardless man with a white fox as his companion. He is son of Tokkote. He is responsible for deciding fate of dead people in the afterlife.

Khayra
She is the goddess of the Earth and destiny. She is sister of Tokkote. She is usually described as a kind old woman who brings kindness to vile people in their sleep. She is responsible for fertiling soil and guiding humans in their life.

Ku'utkirr
He is the god of war and honor. He is usually described as a long-bearded man with an axe and shield. All soldiers must proclaim worship to him to have their kills forgiven. However if a soldier becomes a traitor or acts without an honor he will lose protection of Ku'utkirr and all his murders will doom him in the afterlife.

Creation of World
The first two gods where siblings, Tokkote and Khayra. They created Earth and made it a warm and kind place for humans to live in. Tokkote prescribed rulership of the Underworld to his son, Kutke. The new god was still young and very curious. He was running many kinds of experiments, one of which ended in creation of Gyermin. He then started fighting his way through hordes of animals and monsters Kutke tried to stop him with. He was fighting with a bow and tips of his arrows which stuck through the floor can be seen in the world today. He managed to escape the Underworld and started to engulf the Earth in coldness. When Tokkote got to know what happened his kind nature and wiseness kept him from scolding his son and taking away his rulership. He has seen it as only a little accident of a child. He embarked to find Gemini and kill him. He has been looking for 10 days until finally finding him and stricking him with his lightning. Gemini has summoned a great snowstorm and got away however and is still spreading coldness around the World.

The rite of Gyermin
This is the most important rite in the whole religion. Every person after coming to age must survive one day between the Gemini. It shows who is ready to take on the cold that Gyermin throws at the hardened people of the tundra. If the person survives, they have shown that they are ready to take on the hardships of life in the snow.

The Afterlife
Depending on your life you will be sent to different places after your death. If you lived a good life free of any sins like murder you will be sent to the Underworld where you will fish, hunt, drink and laugh for eternity with your old friends. If you lived a sinful life your soul will be sent back to the Earth to roam the place for eternity. Unable to eat or drink you will be in pain for whole eternity. If you've commited an atrocious sin but you regreted it you will be reincarnated and have another chance to live your life free of any misdeeds.
