Gellema, called the Sabotage: God of Trickery, Deceit and Hedonism. Respected as a safeguard against ill wills. Their clergy mostly operate underground, in ale-houses and brothels, apart from a few glistening official temples. In the moon, among the stars, between clouds, within branches, on the muddy banks, upon the cliffside — children, the sick, and the sensitive point at the eyes and mouth they see there and utter Gellema. It is said secret and tantalizing rites take place under its gaze.

Pra'Raj
'' '''“Reject them, denounce them; those who claim their singular Godhood. Those imperfect, and flawed remnants of an ancient world.''' ''
 
We all carry that same spark of divinity, nurtured and tempered by the roaring sun. Its rays tending that same seed within us, that same potential. Reject blind supplication, and instead gaze inwards, and seek perfection.”
 
The Adherents of Pra’Raj is a scattered, mostly hidden belief system that rejects the divinity of Gods, and the inherent apathy of Atheism and instead focuses on inner belief, and the Divinity of the Self.
 
The name Pra’raj has been ubiquitous in the history of the Disc, through the rise and fall of many empires. Not inherently foul, and in many places anything but; in recent years, the name Pra’raj has been synonymous with the fell deeds of Zojhir, and Qa’im, whose interpretation of the system and its teachings have taken a nefarious turn.
 
It is this interpretation and the myriad propaganda  campaigns over the centuries from the Wheel faith and their temples and priests that have seen its adherent sects driven underground, persecuted and hunted to near extinction by numerous Inquisitions.
