Sakaze.
Outside the magnificent temple in the center of the city, the square was densely packed with kneeling people.
Under the jade-carved Divine Statue was an altar, where a shaman in red ceremonial robes was casting.
His whole body was covered in colorful patterns, dancing and chanting.
A dazzling halo spread from the altar, sweeping over the devotees in the square, continuing to expand outward.
Centered around the temple, the streets of the entire city were filled with kneeling people.
This was a city-wide sacrificial ritual, a funeral held for the first warrior of the Sakaze Temple, Huyan Hetai!
On the grassland, the largest religious sect is the Man Yuan Sect, worshiping the Full God.
