Umun Omi (meaning One Soul) is the faith of the Besholgi people of Moduk. Much like the Rünsukhi people, the Besholgi believe that long ago, the Supreme Spirit split his soul to create the world, humanity, animals, spirits, and everything else in it. After death, while the body becomes a husk, the soul returns to the Supreme Spirit, and eventually all spirits will return there. The followers of Umun Omi put emphasis on hunting, considering it a sacred ritual that helps revive the Supreme Spirit with every hunted animal. A small, radical minority, often comprised of exiles, become mercenaries, as they believe that every person they kill on the battlefield brings the resurrection of the Supreme Spirit closer.
