Rites of Armok

<center><b><large>The Rites of Armok</large></b>
<br>
Those who wear a talisman made of bone and sinew are favored by Armok for their tenacity, as the

only way to acquire one is to slay dangerous creatures, or slay someone who has already done so.

Bear in mind, however, that to slay His followers outside of honorable combat, to disgrace Him

by stealing away the amulet of a follower that did not die by your hands, or to make trophies of

a beast you did not kill in an attempt to garner His favor will be regarded as a blasphemy among

his followers, and an insult to the God of Blood himself.<br>
<br>
Those who bear the trophies of their own hunts may offer their souls to Armok. The worthy must

butcher their prey and craft the necklace of bone and sinew, wearing it upon their clothing as

proof of their deed. Then, they must wait by the bloody remains of the fallen beast and bid Him

to grant them an audience. He will give them a contract to sign, reliquishing their soul to Him

upon their death, in return for the boon He grants them. Thus is the reason Armok is insulted

when one of his kind is killed out of greed: for their lives are His alone to take and those who

kill purely to further their own power do not serve Him; they serve only themselves.<br>

Those who, with the aid of their fellow man, slay a mythic beast in Armok's name will live to

fight another day.<br>
<br>
Those who, without the aid of their fellow man, slay a mythic beast in Armok's name will become

his champions.</b><br>
