Cult of the Acacia
The Cult of the Acacia is a religion.
Beliefs
The Acacians are monolaters, and believe in many gods, though only one god is the god of their people. This god is called Akusha Mazita (English: Wise Spirit of Acacia), and is believed to inhabit Acacia trees.
Practices
The Acacian religion is administered by ritual specialists known as priests. One example ritual is the Oath-Taking Ritual. This consists of the oath-taker standing underneath an Acacia tree, and with a priest and a clan elder present, giving the oath. This is considered the strongest oath an Acacian can take. Their belief in the divinity of the Acacia tree also leads them to make many of their goods from this wood, as this is believed to bless the object with the presence of Akusha Mazita. This extends to byproducts such as Acacia gum, which they use to make the inks in which they write their scriptures. Their texts, both holy and mundane, are known to begin with the phrase "May this text, written in the holy inks made with the gum of the Acacia, be blessed."
Scriptures
The Acacians do not typically reveal their scriptures to outsiders, but a few Acacian figures are known. The first of these is the wise king Salmir, who was the original owner of the mythic axe known as Twice-Cutter, and the second of these is the boy, later king, Davud, who is known to have slain the Khan known as Jalut by using the axe Twice-Cutter. Beyond these simple facts, little is known of Acacian scriptures
