Totems

Orcish Totems

Orcs believe in spirits that represent emotions, physiology, and concepts. These spirits are invoked through the creation of totemic objects carried by individuals. These objects are often hand-crafted statues and medallions in the form of a geometric shape or animal. Some totems are common across all orc tribes, but others are unique to a particular tribe, or even to a single individual. Orcs are not obliged to loyalty to any particular totem, and as such, totems are often shared, exchanged, or abandoned when they no longer have personal relevance. Goblins have coopted the orcish totems into gods of their own, often idols made of discarded totems embellished with sticks, rocks, and treasures.

Totems are a near global phenomenon, with a majority of households in Blimnor owning at least one totem carving. While the belief system itself is not as widespread, the simplicity of it is quite appealing, and has therefor attracted the curiosity and casual practice of those who find themselves in posession of a totem. Indeed another universally attractive aspect of the religion is that it is not exclusive of other belief systems. There is even an amateur community of personality typologists who categorize people into the totem that best represents them.
