Saanorgegh is the religion of the Shuvüüsh people in Northern Haless. The faith worships the spirits of the land and the namesake Saanorgegh, the three brothers, Tsarai, Oedek, and Jaal, who fought off the face stealing spirits that hounded the then migrating Shuvüüshudi, founded the main families among the people, and ascended to godhood. The gods and spirits communicate to their followers through the shamans, who help in guiding the Shuvüüshudi. Those who show their worthiness in life are believed to join the three brothers in godhood after death.

Masks[]

Masks play an important part in the faith, with the followers wearing intricately carved masks that are believed to protect their wearer from malevolent spirit. The shamans of the faith are recognizable by the black, featureless masks they wear. Most of the masks are passed down from one generation to the next, but sometimes people carve their own masks. One of the most famous masks, is the Faceless Queen's mask, a completely featureless, white mask worn by the eponymous Faceless Queen of Nuugdan Tsarai.
