There are two main religions within the Rattle society. One is Duvangar the Wild, which is a Supre Mald that watches over the whole of Rattle society and keeps the children safe in times of war. The other is She that is Before Me. This one is a little harder to explain as the Rattles rarely show any of their religious rites to others.

Duvangar the Wild – Bestows gifts on his followers and ensures that all that follow him have protection from the curses of the land. Those that follow the religion make up a basic church, much like the Catholic Church. There is a head of the church which rules over all of the land and that head is nearly as powerful as the Tuchanool. In the main society, this head, known as the Duvongul, would carry nearly as much weight, if not more in some things, as the Tuchanool. Those that followed the religion could be considered zealots due to the amount of “faith” they have in the Duvongul. His twelve Willions, as they are called, go across the land healing the sick, removing curses, etc. They use holy magics and often are taken as saints of their realm. It is mostly smoke and mirrors, however, as the miracles always happen to someone that someone knew and never first hand. The heals and curse removals always happen to someone in the crowd and rarely to those that are actually needing it. But many believe in its standing and stay in good standing with the church in turn.

She that is Before Me – This religion, however, has been kept hidden from most and often sees the practitioners keeping their faith hidden from others. The Duvongul has actually issued warnings to these people to keep their faith under wraps as it is in direct opposition of Duvangar the Wild’s faith. Thus the two faiths can not exist together. 

Unlike the Duvangar faith, She That is Before Me practitioners don’t have a “head of state” for their church. They believe that an old man, simply known as “The Old Man”, will come and help with curses, miracles, etc. when it is needed. They have gone on two crusades over the centuries that have seen this faith over rule even the Dubagothie and take the whole of the Rattles into war. Both times, it was a just war and the Rattles won, and both times, the Duvangar religion was set back ages. The current Tuchanool and Duvongul both hate this faith and do everything they can to alienate anyone that is found following it. 

The core principles of the faith are forgiveness, mercy and love. Three things that are not in the natural flow of Rattilian society. If someone hurts one’s honor, then the hurt party has a duty to defend that honor, even to the death. This religion, however, teaches Rattles to simply let things go. Not a trait that is easily learned in such a society.
