The Words of Kryll

The Words of Kryll is a religion founded on the violent doctrines of the Mordethalian philosopher, Kryll. It has since expanded from its home planet of Mordethal to exert its influence across the Federation Spaceway, preaching a message where violence is not a flaw, but the most sacred and fundamental truth of existence.

The central tenet of the Words of Kryll is that existence is a violent reality forced upon all beings by a resentful creator. Kryll’s teachings posit that life's harsh and brutal nature should be embraced as a natural birthright. Followers believe violence is a sacred expression of defiance and independence against the oppressive order of creation. For adherents, physical combat is the ultimate spiritual practice; every fight is a form of prayer, a sacred act through which they connect with the universe's raw essence and find enlightenment in the chaos of conflict.

The faith is guided by the Exemplars, an elite order of clerics who serve as both spiritual guides and combat trainers. They preserve and interpret the Kryll Doctrine, an ancient collection of verses, chants, and mantras that emphasize the nobility of embracing violence.

The Supreme Exemplars, high-ranking figures who shape the doctrine and hold immense influence over their followers lead the Exemplars. They reinforce the belief that life's truest meaning is found by channeling one's inner violence as an expression of freedom and truth.

The religion's planet of origin, Mordethal, is a world of striking contrasts. Its surface is defined by rugged terrain with rich red hues, endless fields of scarlet blossoms, and crimson flora. Amidst this natural beauty are cities of gleaming silver spires. This combination of breathtaking scenery and a culture that reveres pain, fear, and dominance makes Mordethal the ultimate proving ground for the followers of the Words of Kryll.

The Words of Kryll actively seeks to spread its philosophy throughout the Federation Spaceway. The Supreme Exemplars travel on four colossal dreadnought warships, which also function as mobile temples and training grounds for younglings. These vessels are:

• The Necronought

• The Oblivionought

• The Legionought

• The Infernonought

From these dreadnoughts, they recruit those who are disillusioned with the ideal of peace, preaching that purpose and liberation are found only through the acceptance of one's violent nature.
