Mkercha Religions

The Mkercha Religions are a collection of related religions found North of the Okuti Mountains along the Alem-Karfi river. They are all essentially monotheistic, following the God Yal (or Yelam).

The religions are diverse, but connected in there belief of being descended from 10 men and their wives who came from the jungles to the South of the Okuti Mountains after being placed there by God. The many children of these people then split off and travelled their separate ways, creating the different peoples of the world. Ten of those sons, lead by Ochi and Asiwok, followed a great river West and then North, coming to the Okuti Mountains.

At the mountains they found wives from women hiding in a cave from a wild boar. Together, the 20 people crossed the mountains, finding fertile grasslands. It was there that God taught them to till the Earth and to farm.
